![]() Many people react to danger in different ways, some are easily calm and collected, but others are far from comfort and begin to break down. They have never known panic similar to their situation, and have no experience of how to react to it. The citizens of Ember act with great emotion to the danger in The City of Ember. How do the people of Ember react to danger? Have you seen people reacting to danger in these ways? People react in various ways when they feel threatened. Some individuals have gathered at Harken Square, protesting that the mayor reveals his ‘plan’ to save The City of Ember, but no further action was taken. Most see him as the leader, and they must accept and put their trust into his actions. ![]() The townspeople in The City of Ember have no knowledge from the right or wrong doings of the Mayor, or the government in general. Why do you think they act this way? What other actions might they have taken? He squelches the thirst for knowledge and limits freedom, yet the majority of the town’s people just accept his behaviour. The mayor is the most corrupt character in the novel. As described, the city was shabbily built, and had very little technology or necessities to sustain life for the expected timeframe. I do have an idea that the theory that it was to be entirely isolated from the above with very little instruction for exit slightly impertinent. Although it repeals my theory that everything happens for a reason, I still believe it was a smart choice. Yes, I do think the concept for building The City of Ember to protect the human race was a good idea. The City of Ember was built when people were worried that the human race might not survive. I think Lina was right to refuse the offer of the goods, although it may have caused difficulty to find the basic needs to survive. Although these supplies would benefit Lina, she feels that it’s not right to accept them through this manner. Lina turns down the gifts Lizzie offers her, because in Lina’s opinion, it’s retaliation against the City of Ember. Why does Lina turn down the gifts that Lizzie offers her? Do you think she was right to do so? She discovers that her friend Lizzie has begun to accept things from Looper, who is stealing things from the store rooms. The possibility of never-ending darkness changes many of Lina’s friends and many of the town’s people. And also beyond the knowledge of the townspeople, there is a fully natural lit city. ![]() Ember has no natural light, and beyond it. She believes that this may be where she’s going after the downfall of Ember, but she is doubtful. Lina often dreams of the city with a blue sky. In the question above, I believe the statement may refer to the fact that the Citizens of Ember are not aware that there is light beyond their city. In what ways, other than the falling street lamps, are color and light important? Light and color both play very key roles in the novel. War had claimed many lives throughout it’s time, and it could be a factor for the building of The City of Ember.Ĭlary tells Lina, “Everybody has some darkness inside”. Another possibility could be war, the idealistic social issue. They may have been growing more worried about global warming, so they had the future generation placed underground for protection from the harmful rays from the sun or the possibility of excessive heat. Since no earth date was provided throughout the novel, it could most definitely be in a view of the future. The first possibility could be an environmental concern, which is global warming. There are many possibilities that could have led to the building of The City of Ember. What sort of problems could have led to the building of The City of Ember? Although not stated in the novel, I feel there’s a connection between Lina and Doon that has not yet been discovered.Įarth today has many environmental and social issues. They both try a hand at magic and risk virtually everything to find an exit out of their self-suppressive city. Lina has the ‘want to’ to get things done, and Doon has the knowledge to arrange it. How do they complement one another and help one another develop through the novel?ĭespite the fact Doon and Lina have many similar traits they do work together through problems in the novel. But their friendships grow because they are ultimately searching for the same thing. Doon wants to work in the Pipeworks Lina yearns to be a messenger. Doon and Lina like very different things.
