| Titanic | comment |
Titanic is a young adult novel trilogy by Gordon Korman taking place aboard the titular ocean liner on her maiden voyage. It surrounds the lives of four youths: Paddy Burns is a young pickpocket from Belfast who gets separated from his friend when a local gangster catches them stealing his money. In his getaway, Paddy manages to stow away on the Titanic as she leaves the shipyard where she was built. Now all he has to remember his friend by is a drawing… which his friend said could be how the "unsinkable" liner could go down. But even on the most luxurious ship on the waves, a stowaway has bigger problems… Alfie Huggins is an English boy whose income is threatened with the disappearance of his mother. So he signs onto the Titanic as a steward so he could be with his father, a stoker. However, in order to get the job, Alfie has to lie about his age… Sophie Bronson, daughter of a firebrand American suffragist, is rather embarrassed by her mother's political activities – which are the reason she and her mother are escorted aboard the Titanic in handcuffs… Juliana Glamm is the daughter of the hedonistic Earl of Glamford, who hopes to enter talks with an American oil magnate once the Titanic arrives in America. But she can't fathom why she has to accompany him…As these four characters' stories intersect, keeping Paddy hidden proves to be even trickier than expected, and they soon discover that a notorious murderer may be among the ship's passengers, and that's before the Titanic starts pulling into icy waters…Not to be confused with the stage play, or the James Cameron movie. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Titanic / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: We never find out exactly what happened to Alfie's mother. At first, it's strongly implied that she either died or abandoned Alfie so suddenly that the White Star Line didn't get the memo. But in Book Three, Alfie's Afterlife Welcome strongly implies that she died. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Paddy, Sophie, and Juliana all survive the sinking, as does Sophie's mother, but Alfie isn't so fortunate. Neither is his father, or Juliana's. However, the death of Juliana's father frees her from her impending Arranged Marriage, and now she has a lasting friendship with Sophie, and a new adopted sister, and Paddy is able to find new opportunities in America, and is even reunited with Daniel. | |

It's All My Fault | |
| Titanic / int_5ad80bf8 | comment |
It's All My Fault: Paddy tends to blame himself for everything, in particular Daniel's supposed death, and later for Alfie's (real) death. Juliana also gets hit with this trope in Book Two after she unwittingly leads Lightoller to Paddy, which makes Alfie concerned for his job – and his father's. Thomas Andrews expresses this in Book Three, as he decides to go down with the ship that he designed. | |

| Titanic / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Sophie attempts to pull one when her mother objects to "women and children first," and refuses to board a lifeboat before the men, but still asks that Sophie board one. After Sophie fails to talk her out of staying aboard, she asks her for a hug goodbye, and uses it to force her mother into a nearly full lifeboat, and it is lowered without her. However, it's Subverted in that Sophie survives the sinking anyway. | |

| Titanic / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: We are first introduced to Sophie and her mother at a suffragist demonstration in London. Not only do we see Amelia's hardline attitude and how embarrassed Sophie is by it, but when a suffragist is beaten by a police officer for defending her mother, Sophie attacks the officer, showing that Sophie isn't quite as different from her mother as she thinks. | |

Dramatic Irony: We all know what happens to the ship, right? Played With in that Daniel actually anticipates very early on how the Titanic's watertight bulkheads could be circumvented, but his idea for how it could happen doesn't reach the ship's designer, Thomas Andrews, until it's too late. | |
