Final Proposal

The Mysterious Sinkingis derived from the actual events of the Titanic. The story is

about a middle-aged woman, Rebecca, who was on board the titanic with her husband and three

kids. Everyone was told the titanic accidently collided with the iceberg, but Rebecca is the

only one who knows that is not true. The collision with the iceberg was no accident and

Rebeccas goal is to get the truth out into the world. She is the main character of this suspenseful

novel.

The purpose behind this novel is providing entertainment as well as mystery for all of its

readers. The mysterious sinking will be fiction and nonfiction at the same time. It will pursue a

fiction story but give accurate details on the actual sinking of the Titanic. This will make it

somewhat nonfiction. Readers will understand in depth what exactly happened on the night of

the sinking of this unsinkable ship, the real story.

The movie The Titanic really inspired me to write this novel. I see the movie as harsh

yet romantic and peaceful. It sets a tender mood that onlookers really seem to enjoy. When the

novel first came to mind, the actual events were undecided. It wasnt until later on that the

decision was made to add a mysterious edge to the novel. When people think of the titanic, they

think of a romance that involves a famous ship that hit an iceberg. The audience seems to look

past the fact of children and loving families were on board, as well. This novel will introduce the

hardships that one specific lower class family deals with from the time they were on board the

ship until their last few seconds. The audience will now look past the romance part. This novel

will set a whole new perspective of the story behind the sinking of the titanic.

The characters will consist of a mother, father and their three kids with the mother being

the main character. The little boy, Andrew, is mentioned the most often throughout the story.

He is grounded yet extremely mischievous.
