Final Proposal

The Mysterious Sinkingis derived from the actual events of the Titanic. The novel

focuses on a middle-aged woman, Rebecca (the main character) her husband and three adorable

children. The family was striving for a new beginning in America and leaving their struggles

behind. The collision with the iceberg was no accident and Rebeccas goal is to get her story out

into the world. This suspenseful novel will capture the readers attention from the beginning.

The purpose behind this novel is to provide entertainment as well as become a mystery

for all of its readers. The mysterious sinking will be both fiction and nonfiction. It will pursue a

fiction story by saying the Titanic purposely hit the iceberg. This is not true when speaking of

the actual event. Rebecca goes on a rampage to figure out exactly why the collision was no

accident. In all reality, the Titanic did accidently collide with the iceberg. Specific events will

be included such as the boarding of the ship; the captains dinner and the mistreatment of lower

classpeople that makes this novel have a nonfiction touch. The novel will give accurate details

of the appearance of the Titanic. The Titanic was beautiful inside and out and this is true for not

only the novel, but for the actual Titanic as well. Readers will understand in depth what exactly

happened on the night of the sinking of this unsinkable ship, the true story.

The movie The Titanic really inspiredthis novel to be written. The movie catches the

onlookers immediately, as so will this novel. There are so many different opinions when

speaking of the movie The Titanic. As a kid, the movie may seem somewhat scary, but as

adults the movie shows love and compassion. This movie portrays itself 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, such as the sinking being no accident. Everyone

seems to know the story behind the Titanic. 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 and how it affected them. 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. This novel will set a whole new perspective of the

story behind the sinking of the titanic.

Adults and families will be most interested and affected by this novel because it will be

more on their level of reading. It will be a newer more suspenseful reading compared to the

original story. The story behind the Titanic will relive forever. It will constantly be a topic of

conversation and that is why this story will grab many peoples attention. It is by no means a

childrens novel. It will be too hard to comprehend for the younger age.

The characters will consist of a mother, father and their three kids (two girls and a

younger boy) with the mother being the main character. Rebecca is a terrific mother, but she

worries about her family and their future. The father, Jamie, is tall and handsome. Him and

Rebecca met as kids and have an unexplainable love for each. Although Jamie is the most loving

husband anyone could ask for, he is not much help for the Robinson family. He brings in very

little income leaving Rebecca to supply for everything. The little boy, Andrew, is mentioned the

most between the three children. He is grounded yet extremely mischievous. Andrew is very

sweet and small for the age of four with an innocent appearance. If it were not for Andrew,

Rebecca would not have over heard the conversation between the Titanic staff and her significant

other.

From the time Rebeccas family boards the ship, she notices how they are being

mistreated from the staff. Rebeccas husband cannot seem to get along with anyone and this is a

side of Jamie that Rebecca has never seen. The family struggles with getting a room that will

accommodate all of them, but they manage to do so. Rebecca knew they would be treated

unfairly, but the crew took it was too far. The first day on board the ship was not too bad, but

things only went down hill from there. Jamie knew more people on board that Rebecca did not

seem to recognize and that frustrated her. She felt left out. The next few days were a struggle

because all Rebecca could think about was preparing to arrive at their new destination.

The climax of the novel strikes when Rebecca goes on a search for her missing son. She

was not too worried because there was only one place he could be and that is on the ship, or so

she hoped. The ship was not too crowded considering the fact that the captains dinner was in

session so she did not seem too worried about finding her son. Rebecca begins to panic and then

realizes exactly where Andrew is and she was right. Standing on the edge of the captains deck

stands little Andrew spying into the captains cabin. Rebecca begins to laugh to herself when

she notices a figure she is very familiar with, her husband Jamie. She had no clue why Jamie

would be in contact with the staff. Right before her eyes, Jamie grabs the wheel of the ship and

gives it an extreme turn in the opposite direction. Suddenly, the ship shook with great strength

and to Rebecca the last hour of her familys life was a blur.

Rebeccas dream of a new life was a scam. Her husband had no intentions of starting a

new beginning. Jamie knew he wouldnt be able to support his family and her was promised a

great deal of cash from the Titanic crew. He tried to explain to Jamie that he had no intentions of

slamming the ship into an iceberg, but all Rebecca could focus on was finding her children.

Rebecca sent her kids on a lifeboat that she was unable to get on herself. She was sure she

would meet back up with them, but that was not the case.

This novel shows how a true story can be transformed into a whole newperspective with

a little imagination. Everyone wants an unexpected outcome and this is exactly what this novel

is. A lot of time, dedication and thought areput into this novel and the audience will

immediately recognize that. This novel will be a bestseller, guaranteed.
