Antonio C. John

Antonio is a 10 year old, no class men who snuck aboard titanic. He also has a bio, soooo.

### Life before titanic

Antonio John was born April 3rd, 1900, in a very poor community in southampton. As a child, he was abused and scolded by his parents and 3 older siblings. He had done most of the work in the house and often got beaten for useless, minor things. One night, he just couldn't take it anymore, and on may 6th, 1907, he left the house and never looked back. He was now homeless, and for the rest of his childhood, he would steal food, clothes and newspaper. He kept hearing about this place called America, a place where you can start over and get a new life, and that's what he wanted. He was tired of living on the streets and wanted a life, so he planned to sneak on a ship, and get to america, but he wasn't just gonna board any ship, no no no, he wanted to be comfortable on his journey, so he decided to do the unthinkable, to sneak on the ship everyone was talking about, The Titanic.

### During titanic

The day came and he needed a way to get on. Luckly he planned this. Using his crowbar he found, he pried a crate open, got in, and waited to be put on the ship. Miraculously, it worked, but as he was getting out, an officer spotted him. He booked it down the B deck when he ran into someone, sending them both off their feet. He had run into Marilyn Montague. He was angry and so he told her to watch it. He was about to get busted, but then Marilyn asked if he would want to go wave with her outside. He was kinda confused since he just pushed her over, but to get away from the officer, he accepted. They were seen waving goodbye to the crowd.

He was about to ditch her, but being so nice to him (when nobody else was), he couldn't leave her. They went to lunch and talked for 8 hours on end. He didn't want her to feel weird next to a 3rd class man, let alone no classmen, so he lied, saying he was a 1st class child traveling to America to be with other family. They constantly ran into each other in the first class areas. He had finally found a real friend. He also made other friends, the boiler room coal workers. He would often try to lighten their moods and even sing to them sometimes. On the night of april 14th, 1912, Antonio was about to leave the boiler room, when BOOM, water quickly rushed in the ship, submerging him underwater for 10 seconds. He had to find a way out, but he eventually got out of the boiler rooms, and booked it to the decks. He said that he couldn't remember a time where there wasn't any water in the room he was in. He was quite literally 2 steps ahead of the water. Miraculously he made it to the top of the grand staircase, when the dome blew. He was about ready to accept his fate when someone scooped him up and got him out on the deck. He never knew who it was.

Seeing a second chance at life, he got to the back of the sterin, and held on for dear life. The ship finally submerged, but he managed to get on a floating piece of wood, and wait. About an hour went by, and it was dead silent. He was so cold he said that he didn't even know if he was alive or dead. But, seeing that this could be the end, he accepted fate once again, until he felt a small nuge on his foot. He slowly looked up to see a lifeboat that had come back for him. He was then taken by none other than Marilyn. He then fell asleep. He awoke in the middle of the deck on carpathia, but scurried away to a dark location. He didn't feel like talking to anyone. When he got to new york, he looked around at everyone, seeing one reunite with another. Made him think about how alone he was. He was about to enter a new city when he was stopped by...marilyn. He turned around with tears in his eyes. She asked where his parents were, which was when he finally cracked, and yelled at her saying how he was an orphan, he was all alone, and homeless. He walked into the unknown city, crying.’

He did what he usually did, steal to survive. It was five days later when he found himself on a dock, standing alone, looking out on the sea. That's until he heard his name get called out, it was Marilyn, she had come back to take him. His face lit up with happiness as he ran towards her, arms open as they embraced with a long, tight hug. She said she didn't want him to live on the streets anymore, and that he should live with her. He accepted.

### After titanic

Shortly after, Marilyn adopted him, and they soon came to know each other as Mother and Son. He was 27 when he became a hardworking lawyer, one of the best in his time. He got married and had 3 kids when he was 37. In april of 1987, he would bury his mother, but make a statue of her, in her honor. On april 20th, 2002, he would pass away in his sleep. He was buried next to her mother in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
