Abandon Ship

This past week in class mr salituro had us reenact a true story that happened awhile back about this one ship sinking and on a life boat were survivors. a decision had to be made. 7 of the survivors on the boat had to be thrown over board in order to save some of the survivors lives. i could only imagine how hard and nerve wrecking these decisions must have been in real life facing living and dying. in class the way myself and other classmates chose who to throw off was we decided who ever had a future and a family to go to would survive. likewise to what happened in real life they pretty much did the same thing. in class we looked over and we noticed that some of the people such as the elderly couple were voted off the boat the most amount of times. this was because they had no future left and pretty much were of no use. the ones who stayed were the ones with a future to give with a contribution, the strongest and youthful, and probably the most important, the ones who were of most use to the crew and their survival. at the end a question was brought up, what would have done?
