Convergence of Twain

This poem describes some of the characteristics of the Titanic, a ship that sunk in 1912. It focuses less on the tragedy and more on the vanity and the extravegance of the boat. The ship was the pinnacle of the technology at the time. It was almost idolized by the rest of the world. It seemed that nothing could go wrong with this perfect boat. Just like materialism and the thirst for extravegance, the boat went down to the bottom of the sea. People should focus on their inner beauty rather than their outer beauty. The fish only notied the gloriousness of the boat and questioned why it was down there. This is relevant because it adds to the theme of vanity. The extravegance of something doesn't matter in the end. It was the downfall of the Titanc and it can be the downfall of people.
