Susan Hood writes true story

# data[].attributes.body
I think an interesting takeaway from the authors note would be, Lifeboat 12 is based on a true World War II story. Another one would be, Susan hood always thought in her childhood to write about non-fiction and fiction which makes it hybrid fiction books and her first one would be a non-fiction one. The last and most important one would be, her stories led her to the SS City of Benares.

1. The inspiration was from her mother-in-law Nancy's teen letters. She then researched about the incident that was described in her letters, and came across Ken's story.
2. The story was intended to be a nonfiction book. In the end, Susan Hood decided to mix two genres to write Lifeboat 12.
3. She interviewed an old Kenneth Sparks which might mean that all the people on 'The SS City Of Benares' like Derek and Alan Capel, Billy and Peter Short, Paul, and Terrence Holmes, might be real.

My 3 Takeaways from the Facts Behind Lifeboat 12. Miraaya Harkar

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the summer of 1940, people in England were tense as Hitler made France surrender in June, and was now coming for them.
2. The Volendam, the ship before the SS City Of Benares, had been torpedoed, but everyone except the purser on the ship escaped safely. Two children, Patricia Allen and Michael Brooker, found their houses bombed, so they were squeezed on the Benares.
3. Lifeboat 8, which Ken was originally assigned to, was lowered on the starboard side, one end dangling, and a huge wave swallowed everyone on the boat. If Ken didnt go back to get his coat, he would have died too, but he got his coat and missed it, and ended up on Lifeboat 12, which was the only lifeboat to land safely.

Amaya- 3 take aways from facts about Lifeboat 12

# data[].attributes.body
My three main take aways after reading the real facts behind Lifeboat 12 are:

1. In the summer of 1940, Hitler was very close to taking over England. France had surrendered to Hitler a few weeks before and the Germans were just across the English Channel

2. Because Hitler was on the verge of taking over England, there was something called CORB which was formed. In this, children of ages 5-15 applied to go overseas and some children were selected by lottery to go.

3. September 7th was the day when the lighting war/Blitzkrieg started. That same afternoon, London was under attack by 348 German bombers and 617 fighter planes! Due to this, by only daybreak, 430 people had been killed and over 1600 had been injured.

~1. She took discovered this story and took inspiration from her mother-in-law’s letters.
~2. This story took place when World War II was happening.
~3. She wrote a hybrid book that was part fiction and part non-fiction.

# data[].attributes.body
~1. In the summer of 1940, Hitler was close to taking over England. France had already surrendered.
~2. The Parliament formed the CORB to ship children to safer shores. This was ages 5-15.
~3. Children travelled without their parents, but escorts, to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

# data[].attributes.body
- In the summer of 1940, Hitler had declared war between England and the Nazis, after France surrendered. There was terror in England and many establishments were being created to save life like the CORB.
-Queen Elizabeth did not agree on leaving England because she did not want to leave the king and also their children did not want to leave her. This showed that she was strong and valued family.
-Some time after that 'Blitzkrieg' or lightning war began which lasted for 57 days, and had a really harmful impact; on the 1st day 430 people died and 1600 were injured.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Be modest and caring like Ken was modest when he said we are not heroes but survivors.
2. Don't be superstitious otherwise you will not grow and you will be scared of everything like number 13 was considered unlucky.
3. Dont panic in emergencies instead listen and do what you are told like the passengers on the ship 'Benares' proceeded to their lifeboat in an orderly fashion.
