Book Review 2-05

I read this book, "TITANIC!". This story is well-known for being made into movie in 1997, which was an American romantic movie and which Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star in. Also, this movie win eleven academy awards, which have ever been unbreakable, and is the highest grossing film.

In 1996, treasure hunter Brock Lovett was salvaging TITANIC to find a necklace set with a valuable blue diamond called the "Heart of the Ocean". He found a picture of a young woman wearing the "Heart of the Ocean" and the date was the TITANIC sank. An old man, Rose Dawson Calvert who was one houndred years old watched the scene on TV so she came to see him with Lizzy who was her grand children. Rose was one of the survivers and she began to talk about the tragic voyage.

In 1912 Jack Dawson who was aspiring artist won a bet and got the ticket so he got on the third-class cabin before the TITANIC left. Rose who was seventeen years old at that time and who was better class of people got on the TITANIC with Cal, Ruth and Molly. Cal was her fiance, Ruth was her mother, who forced her to be engaged to Cal and Molly was a rich woman. Rose wanted to refuse getting married to him so she decided to suicide and she tried to jump off the bow of the ship but Jack saved her. Jack was invited to the first-class party and he knew upper-class life but at the same time he fell in love with her. After that, he drew the picture of her wearing the valuable blue diamond. Cal knew that and got jealous of Jack so he made a false charge against him and he kept him imprisoned in a cabin. At the midnight, the TITANIC collided with an iceberg and began to swamp slowly. Therefore, the crews launched lifeboats but the ship didn't have enough the boats. Rose helped Jack in priority to get on the boats. They were waiting rescue holding on the wrecks in the freezing sea. Rose was saved but Jack died.

I had watched this story in theater so I was not so moved.
