<st1:place w:st=”on”><st1:city w:st=”on”>Tracy</st1:city></st1:place> LOST Plot and Character Layers
What I learned doing this assignment is that LOST is designed like an onion, pulling away mysterious layers during every episode. It often explores the layers of the main characters, but also features the secondary characters as well. They were all involved in numerous plots in their unhappy lives before the crash. This device keeps the interest high in them, as only snatches are revealed. I’m far enough along in Season 1 now I’m trying to keep them straight in my head — so that gets me thinking about the characters. I’m never sure what the next reveal will bring as it’s always a twisty surprise! I don’t sense a pattern of why certain characters have their past revealed and others do not. It was early on in episode 3 that Jin and Sun’s relationship in <st1:place w:st=”on”><st1:country-region w:st=”on”>Korea</st1:country-region></st1:place> was uncovered, but then they’ve dropped out of much of the story line since. We don’t know anything about others except as we know them on the island.
Plot Layers: On the surface, it’s about surviving a plane crash.
Layer 1: Mystery – Where are they, what happened, when will they be rescued, what are the scary things on the island, how much danger are they in?
Layer 2: Hidden agenda – Locke encounters the unseen monster but tells no one except to reassure everyone the island is good and it’s transformed him.
Layer 3: Conspiracy developing: Locke conspires with Boone to work in secret to uncover their mysterious find in the jungle.
Layer 4: Questions needing answers – Sayid kidnapped and tortured by French survivor of previous expedition, confirming they are not alone; enlists <st1:place w:st=”on”>Shannon</st1:place> to translate French words on maps and diagrams that Sayid grabbed when he escaped.
Layer 5: Betrayal: Why is there no search party looking for kidnapped, pregnant Claire? It’s like she’s forgotten by everyone except Charlie. Why was she taken so violently that Charlie was hung?
Character Layer: On the surface, people have various professions and previous lives that defined them before the crash.
Layer 1: Character intrigue: Jack’s moral compass and practiced patience is tested by both Kate and Sawyer. He is not as fully aware of their backgrounds as the viewers are. He can’t quite pull away from Kate, as there isn’t another woman among the survivors his age or with the same amount of pluck and intelligence.
Layer 2: Hidden character histories – Bad-boy Sawyer certainly holds interest not only because of his smirky attitude, but because he calls out both Jack and Kate for covering up who they are, even as he does the same. Everyone is still trying to maintain their facades, revealing as little as possible on the surface.
Layer 3: Secret identity – confirmed to viewers that Kate had a violent criminal past revealed during flashbacks, finding the metal suitcase in the pond, and death of the <st1:country-region w:st=”on”>US</st1:country-region> <st1:city w:st=”on”><st1:place w:st=”on”>Marshall</st1:place></st1:city> on island.
Layer 4: Hidden relationship – why is the developing new relationship between his sister Shannon and Sayid making brother Boone jealous, when he is always calling her out for being shallow, lazy, and worthless?
Layer 5: Unshaken hope and faith: Charlie has found a comforting figure in Rose, who doesn’t waver in her faith that her husband is still alive. She is one who believes they will be rescued.
EL PUEBLO
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Plot Surface: two Baptist Americans ask to hide in Catholic Los Angeles, the first illegal aliens in a Spanish frontier town (If there hadn’t been a battle, and Joseph and Thomas hadn’t been captured, would they have just sailed on past <st1:state w:st=”on” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”><st1:place w:st=”on”>California</st1:place></st1:state> with Bouchard?)
Layer 1: Major shift – Don Lugo, town patriarch and soldier who
led the capture of the Americans, does a 360 and spares their lives;
carries Joseph on his own horse back to El Pueblo . <div>Layer 2: Hidden Agenda – Father Diego values Joseph’s skills
before others recognize it — could build them a church and ship of their
own (and get him back to <st1:country-region w:st=”on” style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”><st1:place w:st=”on”>Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region>
or get rich trading).<div>
Layer 3: Hidden Agenda – The Franciscan priests at the mission
relish idea of making a Catholic convert out of Joseph and keeping him
busy on projects they need.Layer 4: Sabotage – Some families decide they will
“court” Joseph for their daughters, challenging Antonia’s
interest.Layer 5: Open loop answers needed – Why did Joseph join this
expedition in the first place? Did he want the adventure? Paid well? He
could have taken off at any point from <st1:state w:st=”on”>Hawaii</st1:state>
to get home via American or English ships heading to <st1:country-region w:st=”on”>China</st1:country-region> with furs from the <st1:place w:st=”on”>Pacific
Northwest</st1:place>, or selling Sandalwood from the island kingdom, or
go with Russians on their frozen explorations. No need to head east toward
North American except for the heck of it. So then, why desert a position he’d contracted for?<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>
<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Character Surface: <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Thomas is the quiet sidekick of Joseph
Layer 1: Secret identity – Thomas is a professional mercenary </div>
Layer 2: Hidden relationship – Thomas signed up to sail with
Commodore Bouchard (who hates the Spanish) in Argentina when the locals
would not because of Bouchard’s awful reputation; sailed around the world
with him, surviving pirate attacks and horrible conditions; was promoted
by Bouchard, which was very unusual for a black sailor. He is not afraid
of his commanding officer.Layer 3: Hidden character history – Thomas was once a teen soldier
fighting against the British in Battle of New Orleans under Jean Lafitte
(who also hated the Spanish) and lived with his band in Louisiana until
fear of Americans drove him to a life at sea.Layer 4: Hidden character history – When Thomas was a young teenager,
he and his brother killed an overseer on the boat they were to ferry
cotton with and escaped slavery.Layer 5: Secret identity – Thomas doesn’t reveal he knows
Spanish fluently to the Spanish so he can find out what’s going on.Layer 6: Hidden relationships and conspiracies – Joseph and
Thomas don’t divulge they are bunkmates/friends; later, Joseph finds out
he knew the American ship captain who secretly sailed ahead to warn the
Californians, as Joseph had repaired his ship in <st1:state w:st=”on”><st1:place w:st=”on”>Hawaii</st1:place></st1:state>. Why didn’t the captain take along a valuable fellow American ship carpenter?Layer 7: Hidden plan – Joseph and Thomas must have something up
their sleeves as to why they asked to remain in El Pueblo. Did the American captain confide in Joseph? Joseph was first confined in the jail at Santa Barbara (where the captain had been treated well the year before) when Don Lugo stepped in to stop the firing squad.<div>

Tracy El Pueblo Episodes Titles
I liked the idea of coming up with catchy titles, but that will come with more inspiration. Then I wanted to see if I could tell the story through quotes about my central theme — I made good progress on that front. I am weaving the journeys of the four outside men on thier way to El Pueblo with the daily life of the heroine Antonia, who lives in the village. Coming up with an episode title that is appropriate for what is happening to each character will give me focus when it comes to writing the pages.
SEASON ONE – Storm Clouds Brewing
1. Destiny
A man does not make his destiny: he accepts it or denies it…
2. Pursuit of Happiness
Sometimes you’re in the middle of your destiny before you know it’s even begun…
3. Servitude
What is the point of having free will if one can’t occasionally spit in the eye of destiny?
4. Options Imagined
I don’t want to be fated; I want to choose…
5. Ties That Bind
He who has a why to live can bear almost any how…
6. Purgatory
Fate is the result of giving into one’s wounds and heartaches…
7. On a Tether
I will not wait to be rescued by a woodsman or a hunter…
8. Master of Fate
The unwilling, destiny drags them…
9. Double Deals
Actions are the seed of fate…
10. On Edge
‘Tis no sin to cheat the devil…
11. Liberation
Repentance is but want of power to sin…
12. Ruination
There is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed…

What I learned doing this assignment is…to read each episode description and to see what story line, action, plot stands out and also to play around and have fun. My show is about the film industry, so I’m thinking each episode could be specifically film related or just using a metaphor for what’s really going on.

The Great Pretender

Rob’s Episode Titles
What I learned doing this assignment is the value of brainstorming a whole bunch of episode titles along these different formats. I found it difficult at first but moved more quickly as I went along and just let it flow more. It took a while but I ended up with some titles I’m pretty happy with and in some cases more than I needed. It’s a good problem to have too many to choose from, feeling that I had to let go of some good ones.
