By focusing on the characters instead of the ship's sinking, Walter Lord emphasizes that the people on board were real. He draws the readers into their feelings and relationships. He also shows how they respond to ideas of the time and the events of the sinking. Overall, this paints a very realistic picture of history.

Well from the first sentence it says, "a princess awakens to find that her magic necklace has been stolen by an evil sorcerer." That first sentence right there already tells that the "magic necklace" of hers is pretty valuable. Then the second sentence says, "The princess must find a way to retrieve her necklace before its magic is used to destroy the kingdom." Obviously the sorcerer wont make it easy for her to retrieve the necklace so there must be an upcoming fight. This sentence also shows she's pretty determined to find away to get her necklace back to save the kingdom.
