The Titanic.





OW: Rose is 17 years old and is part of a wealthy and proper family. She is boarding The Titanic which will take her and her family back to the Americas.
Call: She is being forced into marrying Cal who is very wealthy. Her mother wants her to marry him because he is supposed to inherit a lot of money which will keep their family well off.
Refusal: Rose hates the way she is living. She doesn't like her snotty family and her fiance is rude to her. She is so upset with how her life is she even tries to commit suicide by almost jumping overboard.
Mentor: Jack saves her. He convinces her not to jump overboard by saying that he'd have to jump in after her. He shows her a new way of living that is care-free and fun. He tells her that she doesn't have to live the way she is living and she doesn't have to marry Cal if she doesn't want to.
Threshold: Rose crosses the threshold when she begins to rebel against her mother's norms. She made a decision that she is going to continue to hangout with Jack and even attends one of the lower class' parties.
Tests, Allies, & Enemies: Cal finds out about Rose's love affair with Jack. Cal sends someone to look for Rose when he realizes he can't find her anywhere on the boat. Rose & Jack have to escape. The boat hits a glacier. Rose can't decide if she should get on the rescue boat or stay with Jack.
Approach: Rose realizes her love for Jack. She chooses to stay with him and leave her family.
Ordeal: By choosing to stay with Jack, and not get on the life boat, she risks her life.
Reward: Rose and Jack get to spend a little bit for time together.
The Road Back: Jack gets blamed for stealing the expensive necklace. At first Rose believes that he did it, but then realizes that he couldn't have. She rescues him from the basement of the ship and risks her life to save his.
Death: Jack dies from the freezing ocean water when the ship goes down.
Resurrection: Even though Jack dies, he saves Rose in the process. Not only does he give her strength to stay alive in the frozen water, but he teaches her that she doesn't need to live a life she is miserable with and so many other important things.
Return With Elixir: Rose doesn't end up marrying Cal, and she now knows what real love feels like.
