Author's Note~ This is a cause and effect piece on the main event in the novel The City of Ember, by Jeanne DePrau.
Doon and Lina got themselves into one tricky situation by
deciding to take the roll of getting the 400 people of Ember out. Ember, a city underground is running out of
life and civilians are getting worried about the state of the city. There a frequent blackouts and shortages on
food and water, so people fell threatened that the city is heading
downhill. The climax is when they find a safe and secure way to exit Ember..
One issue, there are still 300 plus people that need to get out of
Ember; fast.
While citizens of Ember worry if they will have a chance to
get out or will they die in Ember, Doon and Lina look down at their town from
the real world all they can do is send message down.
Will the citizens receive it? Or
will they never come up and all die down in Ember. If you
look at it a different way what would happen if the whole town went down with
Lina and Doon? There could’ve had been
a riot and many would die. Lastly what
would happen if Doon and Lina had never found a way out?
Good job describing the book. Good word choice.
