Now for the two main characters.
Jack Dawson
Jack was just a third-class passenger, around 20 or so. He won a ticket in a game of poker, which placed him right on Titanic. He thought he was the luckiest son of a bitch ever. Then he met Rose, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. But he knew he probably didn't have a chance, 'cause she was a first-class chick. Oh well. But to his luck, one night while he was lying there, he heard some sniffling person run by him. It was her! He rescued her from jumping off the boat and smacking into the water. As a reward, he got to attend dinner with Rose and her family and friends. Slowly, Rose began to love him, but duh, she had a fiancee, Caledon Hockley. But she said, ah well, and went for Jack anyways. She even let him draw her in the buff. But later on, as they were smooching on the deck, wamo! Titanic hit an iceberg, and ice fell around them on the deck. They had to tell mother and Cal! But when they went there, Jack was framed for stealing Rose's necklace. He was handcuffed to a pole on e-deck or something. Rose rescued him though. They managed to survive for awhile, even after the boat went under. But they were cold. Rose floated on a board, but Jack had to stay in the water. It was too cold, though, and he died. Rose broke his hand away from hers, and let him drop down into the ocean and his soul went to rest. That is the story of Jack Dawson.
Rose Dewitt-Bukater Rose was a first-class girl, but she wished she wasn't. She felt that no one understood her. One night she lost it, and thought that the only way she could escape her horrible world was to kill herself. She was planning on jumping off the back of the ship. Just as she was about to though, she heard a voice saying "don't do it." It was a young man named Jack Dawson.
He managed to rescue her. Slowly Rose began to fall for Jack, and his sensible, normal ways. But she knew she couldn't, it would never work. After all, she was engaged. But she let Jack sweep her in anyways. They went through tough times together, even through the sinking of Titanic. Rose was on a board, Jack was hanging off a board. They were there for awhile, and then Rose saw a boat coming. She tried to wake Jack up, we he wouldn't. After a couple more tries, Rose seperated Jack's hand from her hair, and let him go into the ocean. The boat nearby saved her, and a few other people. Rose never told anyone about her experiences with Titanic, not even her husband. Not until she phoned Brock Lovett, met with him, and told everyone her story.
