Titanic: Forgive or not?

If I was on the Titanic and I was able to be saved but yet others that I loved had gone down with the boat then, I'm pretty sure that I would not forgive the people that had a way to save them. Yes, maybe I was one of the lucky ones to be able to get on a life boat to go back to safety but my family or friends could have died. The captain and the officers had a way of helping everybody but they choose to just go on and act like nothing had happened. In order to go on with their jobs they are responsible for the lives lost on the "Unsinkable" ship. They should have been held accountable for all the men, women, and children who had to suffer in the freezing cold water.

Pity or not?

Even though he took the time to tell his story to Simon I still don't think that I would be able to just show pity and forgive this man. "It never ceases to remind me of the burning house and the family that jumped from the window." I mean if you could imagine this happening and knowing that you was apart of it you deserve to go through pain. The man wants to just try to wipe his plate clean while he still can. Simon has a right to not feel just completely sorry for him because he knows that he could be in the next set of Jews to get killed for no reason. "I cannot die...without coming clean." in this he just wants to make himself feel better. He acts like he cares about the Jews but it could just be an act to try to get forgiveness.
