I. OPINION
The movie Titanic is very tragic, knowing that it is based on the true story of the survivor Rose. This movie really catches everyone's attention, even thought you are not a movie goer or likes to watch true to life movies. This movie just taught us that even they have forbidden love their could have an undying love, like Rose loved Jack until he died. She still remember how their love started and ended.

II. OUTLINE
Its name stirs the imagination... Titanic. The unsinkable ship. The unimaginable catastrophe. The untold stories that lay in mystery two and a half miles beneath the waves of the North Atlantic. What buried tale of love, bravery, treasure and treachery, hidden by time and tragedy, waits here to be discovered? A beautiful socialite. A penniless artist. A priceless diamond. A romance so passionate that nothing on earth could stop it. A destiny so incredible that no one could have imagined it. A collision of lives that could only have happened on Titanic, the ship of dreams. The secrets are about to unfold...

III. CHARACTERS
Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson is portrayed as a homeless, poor man from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin who has toured numerous places in the world. He wins two tickets onto the RMS Titanic in a poker game and travels as a third-class passenger with his friend Fabrizio. He is attracted to Rose at first sight and meets her when she attempts to throw herself off the stern of the ship. This enables him to mix with the first-class passengers for a night.

Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater is a 17-year-old girl, originally from Philadelphia, who is forced into an engagement to 30-year-old Cal Hockley so she and her mother, Ruth, can maintain their high-class status after her father's death had

One of the children, Master Frank Philip Aks, was one of the few that was rescued. Aks was traveling with his mother to finally reunite with his father, whom had started a life in America. Aks was rescued in lifeboat 11 while his mother was on lifeboat 13. There were at least 20 lifeboats on the Titanic, Aks and his mother were on one of the earlier lifeboats because of Aks age and his mother’s gender.

    According to 100 Unsinkable Facts about the Titanic, William Edward Minahan was a doctor from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Before he sailed on the maiden voyage of the Titanic, he had his fortune read. The fortune teller told him he would die aboard the ship, but he did not listen, and went on the voyage. She was right, and he died in the tragic accident (1). The Titanic is one of the most well known disasters in history. The RMS Titanic was the most luxurious ship of its time. It was said to be unsinkable, which created false hope for the passengers when disaster struck. The survivors’ haunting stories are still told today.

    Everyone felt the cold breeze on their face, their eyelashes; frozen. Their hair is iced in place and everyone is surrounded by freezing cold water. No one can feel their body, it has only been ten minutes but people around Rose are already dying. The movie, Titanic, is based on historical stories 50 years prior. White Star Line, the contractors for the creation of the Titanic, and many others, believed that the ship was unsinkable. Therefore, no one would get on the lifeboats. Although, today's forensic science proves many flaws that the ship held. The Titanic is the most influential American film because it illustrates a profound look into history, uses engineering to recreate the historical event, and demonstrates how to live life.…

    In the first stanza, the writer describes the titanic as a symbol of socialization and freedom and is now “in a solitude of the sea.” The ship is “deep from human vanity, and the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she,” (1-3). The very vanity that created the ship was the same vanity that eventually sank it. The captain of the ship, Edward John Smith, had a reputation amongst his passengers and crew for his leadership. Smith often boasted about his reputation of safe and smooth sailing at sea. But his pride as a reputable captain got in his head when he did not order the Titanic to slow down even though the ship had received six warnings of ice ahead the route. It was clear that the Titanic was running into its own demise. Due to his irresponsibility, the Titanic now lays at the bottom of the sea, away from the human vanity that brought the ship down.…

    He created a grand staircase on the ship while in reality this staircase was so small passengers had to go up and down single file. A Pablo Picasso painting is featured in the film, although Picasso was not popular during the time of the Titanic, and his work was not widely distributed. The diamond necklace in the film, titled “The Heart of the Ocean,” never existed, much like the love story between invented passengers Rose Bukater and James Dawson. These creations served Cameron’s purpose to paint a theatrical telling of the event, but the movie was just…

    Fredrick Fleet was the workman on guard on the Titanic on April 14. Fleet, had warned the personnel on the ship’s control deck to look out for icebergs that night, yet nobody was at the control panel that fateful night (McPherson 6). The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable when it was built in 1911. “More than 2,200 people were now aboard the Titanic including 1,300 passengers” (Senan 16). The location the Titanic deported from was Great Britain and it was headed to New York. After three long days of sailing on the North Atlantic, they stopped in Ireland. A few days later, the ship crashed into an iceberg that had made it’s way into North Atlantic from Greenland (Fahey 4). Many people went back to their rooms to get their valuables from down below (Lord 60). Most historians say that they don’t know the exact number of passengers that were on the Titanic because, there was no accurate list of them.

    Titanic is about a 100-year-old woman who was named Rose DeWitt Bukator tells the story to her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert on the Keldysh about her life set in April 10th 1912, on a ship called Titanic. The plot involves a love affair between a penniless artist, Jack Dawson, and the fiancée of a rich aristocrat, Rose DeWitt Bukater. Who even though the both didn’t have much in common when it came to possessions. They were both humble people who truly fall in love with one another. Basically the moral of the story seems to be that the rich people were stuck up and greedy, while there was some stereotype in this movie when it came to possessions. Back then people were either considered rich or poor. I think that movies like “Titanic” having…
