BOOK REPORT

I think the title “City of Ember” is good because it is telling a city being underground . Ember means a glowing light that lights up and starts to dies out. An ember can also be the same thing but in buildings when they turn on the lights it is like an ember. Because the city is underground ,it is very dark. They need electricity to light up the city.

An other title for the book can be “Sunless city”could be another title because the city does not have any light from the sun. “Escape from Ember” also can be one title because the people are trying to find a way out of ember.

Lina mayfleet:Lina kind of a person that is very surprised and with her eyes popping out.She does a job sending messages for other people.Her personality is being very shy .She does not really speak that much.Doon Harrow:Doon lookes like a person with a puppy dog face that is not very cute that much.He does a job fixing and working for the pipeworks.He makes the pipes to be perfect

I wish that I would be Doon Harrow because I wanted to be old enough to have a job. Also when I grow up just like him I can be able to help others with all sort of science even all kind of subjects. I just want something good to happen to me. Like something I always wished so it could be true to happen. I even want to be what I have always dreamed of my hole entire life.

I liked reading this book because it was talking about a city being build underground with many people walking all around the city. My friends should read this book because maybe they will like reading it because the reader will might want to keep on reading the book. They maybe think that the author made the book really interesting when the people are reading it .Everybody should read it because it will make them want to keep on reading if they will keep on reading it

    I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…

    There are no humans left in this city, in the city which gave out "radioactive glow" the word radioactive tends to leave the readers wondering why? Throughout the day, the formal diction is being noted, whether its describing the "gentle" sprinklers, and the "perfectly browned" toast(88). The syntax through the story can be seen as casual, the sentences range depending on the tone. Bradbury's choice of words helps the reader imagine, and see the house, to see the west side of the with the "thin charcoaled layer"(88). While the house reads the poem, all is peaceful and quite, then the sentences are lengthened to show anticipation, worry. The mood of the house is mysterious, and regret. The regret of building dangerous technology, the mystery of what happened. The tone and mood, which are found within the diction, syntax, figurative language, and imagery, all lead to find out the…

    A key symbol in the City of Ember is light. Without light the city would not be able to survive. Doon stated, “The lights go out all the time! And the shortages, there’s shortages of everything!

Doon worries that the civilians will run out of everything and he is angry because no one realizes it.There is only unnatural light in the city so if the lamps go out the people would not be able to see since they are living underground.

    The darkness within and around The City of Ember depicts an incomprehensible image and setting of despair. From the opening “In the City of Ember, the sky is always dark… When the lights were off as they were between the hours of nine at night and six in the morning, the city was so dark that people might as well have been wearing blindfolds,” (4). This immense lackluster environment is due to the ancient generator which just isn’t able to produce anymore, coupled with the depletion of supplies. This demonstrates that Ember’s situation is bleak forcibly plummeting quickly into the abyss. Initially, it wasn’t this way; the air was clean, the light bright and plentiful, supplies were abundant. Lina and Doon must overcome their gripping fear…

    All monsters have that one thing that sets them apart from the rest whether it’s the notorious big foot and his big foot, Michael Myers and his huge kitchen knife, or even werewolves and the fact that they transform when a full moon is out.

Theses number six in the book Monsters states that “Fear of the monster is really a kind of desire.” That thesis is true when it comes to a certain fictional monster by the name of Freddy Krueger.…

    In City of Ember the setting depicts a bleak, dystopian world. Ember experiences many blackouts, which get worse each time another occurs. DuPrau writes, “Everything is getting worse...the lights go out all the time now”(13). The blackouts start when the generator is beginning to break down. This happens due to the fact that they are all underground for an extraneous amount of time. However, Ember starts to fall apart as a result of it being colorless and dark. In fact, Ember is now lacking supplies for its citizens causing them to worry about which would come first, the eternal darkness or the pain of having no supplies to live. Sadly, Ember even made jobs that involve sifting into trash to find what still can be useful. So naturally, various…
