We Are One


Author's Note~ This is an analysis essay about the story The City of Ember by Jeanne DePrau.  My goal for this is to show a proficient level in my body paragraphs.

400 united people, coming from the underground city of Ember unsure of what comes next,  join together and save their lives.  The book The City of Ember, By Jeanne DePrau symbolizes the coming of a powerful group.  DePrau showed courageous attitude from all the characters in this book while telling a great motivating story.

Motivation moves people and great motivators show leadership in everything they do.  Ray Lewis, the middle linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens shows great motivation to all the players on the team and other college or high school groups.  As well Ray leads the team as a captain cheering on players and improves the morale of the team, just like Lina and Doon did in the book.  In the book DePrau shows how Lina and Doon were both great motivators and leaders.

Motivation moves people like Thomas did in the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner.  He moved all the Gladers out of the Glade and showed what Lina and Doon showed by taking all the Ember citizens and freeing them from a dying city.  When DePrau wrote she made readers believe that anyone can do anything.

Believing that you can do anything is something I have always lived by.  Personally I have always wanted to go skydiving and zip lining and I have always wanted to attend Marquette University for college.  Although all of these may not happen I will always believe that this could happen in my life.  When readers read the book I believe that DePrau showed that anything was possible and leading 400 people out of a dying underground city was one of them. 

Whether you’re Ray Lewis or you believe in anything, DePrau showed in the book The City of Ember that motivation and believing that you can do anything is apparent in the book.  Also you can learn from what characters do and you can see how they motivated you and you can use that on others.  While writing a great story DePrau showed courageous attitude from all the characters.
