Film Analysis

Newsies:

OW: A poor newspaper boy wanting something bigger and better. Stuck in New York. Just him, his papers, and empty pockets.
Call: The Newsies are sick of barely getting paid for selling newspapers. They barely make enough money for themselves.
Refusal: How do the Newsies even begin to try and raise the price of a paper? They really don't have any plan. They think if they can't fix it, then who can? They feel inferior and small.
Mentor: Denton works for the newspaper back home. Taking pictures for the papers and capturing the news the world ought to hear. He hears these boys' story and wants to help.
Threshold: The Newsies decide to go on strike! So with Denton's help, they do.
Tests, allies, enemies: The Newsies need help and support to make this strike happen. And who better to go to for that help and support then other local Newsies?! They get the one and only Spot Collins to join the strike. Does he at first? No. But he pulls through for the Newsies. Mr. Pullitzer, the enemy, will not let this strike go on; though it continues. Some Newsies won't join the strike, and it's like they betrayed their own brothers.
Approach: The Newsies try everything they can think of that pertains to striking. Not selling papers, ripping them up, refusing anything to do with newspapers.
Ordeal: Jack, the main Newsie, can't take it anymore. This striking thing to him isn't working. So what happens to Jack? He becomes one of Pullitzer's puppets. All the other Newsies hate him for it. He went back on his word. He betrayed his brothers.
Reward: The Newsies win! The strike is over.
The Road Back: Jack is back, as a real Newsie, not one of Pullitzer's Newsies.
Resurrection: Jack realizes good things happen to good people.
Return with Elixir: Jack finally gets his dream, does he take it? No. because once a Newsie, always a Newsie!!
