" Appleton felt hardly any shock at all, but she noticed an
unpleasant ripping sound . . . like someone tearing a long, long
strip of calico."
Using the word unpleasant shows that with hitting something cause a shock throughout the boat came with a noise that sounded bad to Appleton. I think the point was that the noise meant that the boat was ripping and that could be bad. The term for this is called word choice.

'Steward James Johnson felt he knew just what it was. He
recognized the kind of shudder a ship gives when she drops
a propeller blade, and he knew this sort of mishap meant
a trip back to the Harland & Wolff shipyard at Belfast—
with plenty of free time to enjoy the hospitality of the port.
Somebody near him agreed and sang out cheerfully, “Another
Belfast trip!” '

" Mrs. J. Stuart White was sitting on the edge of her bed, just
reaching to turn out the light, when the ship seemed to roll
over “a thousand marbles.” To Lady Cosmo Duff Gordon,
waking up from the jolt, it seemed “as though somebody had drawn a giant finger along the side of the ship.”

"High in the crow’s-nest of the new White Star Liner
Titanic, Lookout Frederick Fleet peered into a dazzling
night. It was calm, clear and bitterly cold. There was no moon,
but the cloudless sky blazed with stars. The Atlantic was like

The stylistic choice that were made that "The cloudless sky blazed with stars" "The Atlantic was like polished plate glass. the cloudless sky meant that it was supposed to mean that nothing bad was really going to happen and that it wasn't supposed to be a bad day. and the polished glass shows that the water was come.

we put this down cuz it explains in a detailed way that it's cold

Then suddenly he felt a curious motion break the steady
rhythm of the engines. It was a little like coming alongside
a dock wall rather heavily. He glanced forward—and stared
again. A windjammer, sails set, seemed to be passing along the
starboard[4] side. Then he realized it was an iceberg, towering perhaps 100 feet above the water. The next instant it was gone, drifting astern[5] into the dark. "

A tense minute had passed since then—orders to
