The City Of Ember




Dear Class,


I am reading The City Of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau.The City O f Ember has no light!!!
People always worry when the lights go off and when they don't.For example if the lights went off when people of Ember were shopping, it is a big problem. It is just like when you are blind folded!!!!!
Let me introduce the Charecters ...........

The City of Ember is mostly about a girl named Lina Mayfleet who desperetly wants to be a messenger.Instead, she draws the dreaded job of Pipeworks laborer,which means she'll be working in the damp tunnels deep underground!!

Next we will go to a boy named Doon Harrow.Doon Harrow draws MESENGER and asks Lina to trade!!! Doon wants to be underground. That's where the generator is, and Doon has idea's about how to fix it.For as long as anyone can remember, the greatlights are biggining to flicker.........

That's when Doon , Lina , and Poppy ( Lina's little Sister) go into the tunnel underground to get into a new world. Read the sequel ( The People Of Sparks ) to find out what happens to Lina ,Doon , and Poppy!

While I was reading some thoughts popped into my head they are.......

1.Why did Lina and Doon want to go to a new world?

2.Wouldn't it be scary if there is no light?

3.Just imagine how scary it would be like when it is all dark in that tunnel!

4.Did They write any note to the people of Ember about the dark cave?

5. This makes me feel scary and happy at the same time because it would be scary to go undergroud by yourself and I feel happy because Doon, Lina, and Poppy are trying to figure out another way to get out of The City Of Ember ( Old City).
