Title : The City Of Ember
Author : Jeanne DuPrau
Publication Date : May 2003
At the end of mankind on Earth, the scientists build a
self-sufficient underground city for a few people in order to preserve the
human race for two hundred years. They leave also the instructions for the
future generations to return to the surface of the planet in a box that should
be kept by the mayors through the generations. However, the instructions are
lost and the inhabitans stay in the city that is completely deteriorated. The
power generator has problems and the blackouts are longer and more frequent and
the city is running out of food that needs to be rationed.
On the Assignment
Day, the teenagers Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow are assigned to work with the
pipework and as messenger, but they swap their job positions. Lina, who is the
descendant of the seventh major, finds the box of instructions in the house of
her grandmother and shows it to her friend Doon. They decide to explore the way
out of the city and they discover that the corrupt major is stealing food from
the population. When they are hunted by the major’s guide, they have to
find the way out of Ember to survive and save the populations from the darkness
and the end of the city.
Review :
I think the novel is good because it can improve people's imagination. It is also easy to understand and the novel is filled with attractive exploration. I think that The City of Ember is a really good book. It isn't just fiction. It actually sounds like something that could happen, especially if you read the sequel, The People of Sparks. I admire Lina's bravery and cleverness. Doon is also pretty cool. I like that the story had a lot of mystery in it and I also like that the book ends with an unfinished ending. The end of the book, leaving it a mystery.
Here is the sentence:

Here is the sentence:
Mrs. Murdo, which walks faster
than usual to keep her spirit, is crossing Harken Plaza when something fall
into the street in front of her with scary sound. It’s amazing, she thinks,
then she picks it up. It kinds of bundle. She begin to open it.
