Research Topic: Titanic

                In this blog I have to write about what is going to be in my research paper. In this paper I will explain how well James Cameron’s film truthfully demonstrates the tragedy of the Titanic, how social class was a major factor in whether or not people survived the disaster, and how the trauma theory accurately portrays what happened to Rose. It is interesting to me on how the motion picture depicts that Rose is all happy she survives, and that it all that matters. Is this truly how it was or was James Cameron just trying to spice up his movie? I’m going to go in depth about this in my paper and really talk about what historically happened in 1912.Of course movies cannot show everything that happened in true events or even everything that happened if the movie is based on a book. Film makers try and do the best they can to make the movies as close as possible, but there is a problem with this. Since James Cameron is such a popular director, people think that everything that happened in the film is what truly happened in the real Titanic. The love story in the movie is all fictional, and many people who I have talked to were surprised to hear it was not real. People get the wrong message from movies and this is an issue I am going to address in my paper. Social class is also a topic I am going to explain. Depending on what class you are in makes the biggest difference in your experience on the Titanic. From when you board the ship, what you eat on the voyage, and what your chances of survival are. I hope I do a good job on this paper, but I know I am going to have some difficulty with it; especially having all 8-10 pages. But with lots of effort, I’m sure I’ll get the grade I’m rooting for.
