The City of Ember: Chapter 20

In chapter 20, The Last Message, the note book talked about a bunch of people (mainly old people and babies,) going down to Ember. After they read the book, they saw a dog with a plum in his mouth. They got so exited, and then found a tree with plums in it. After a while, they found some kind of cave. In the Cave was a hole. Down the hole... Lina and Doon could see Ember. So they took out Clary's message, put that and a rock in Doon's shirt, and let it fall down to the Ember streets, just waiting for Mrs. Murdo to find it.

QUESTIONS: Will the people of Ember believe them? Will they find people up there? What do you think happens next?

The City of Ember: Chapter 19

In chapter 19, A World of Light, Doon, Lina and Poppy take the path that Lina found, and found a message at the end saying to get water and climb up a long hill. It takes an extremely long time before they reach the top. It's unimaginable for them. They see the moon, and the stars, (but of coarse, they don't know what that stuff is.) Soon, the "Lantern" goes down, and the "Fire Ball" goes up. Then, a bunch of birds come to play and sing. Then, after they wander a bit, they decide to eat and read the rest of the notebook.

QUESTIONS: Will they find a city? Will they find people? What does the notebook say?

The City of Ember: Chapter 18

In chapter 18, Where the River Goes, Doon, Lina and Poppy's boat ride was terrifying. Water every where, you couldn't see anything, the boat was going extremely fast, but then towards the end, the river claimed down, and they slowly made their way to the shore. Once on land, Lina found a path, leading up to another path, but they sat and ate first. They soon realised that Lina still had Clary's note in her pocket, and no one would know about the city. Then, they found a note book. They only dared to read the first sentenc: They say we leave tonight...

QUESTIONS: What dose the rest of the notebook say? Are there people in the city? Is there a city?

the City of Ember: Chapter 17

In chapter 17, Away, Doon is waiting for Lina at the pipeworks. At the last second, she arrives with Poppy in her arms. They climbed down to the river room, where they found *paddles in the boat, but they couldn't figure out how ti use them, so they put them on the floor. Then, they finished setting it up, all hopped in, and set off on our journey.

*They don't know what it is.

QUESTIONS: Do you think they'll survive? How did Lina get Poppy? What do you think the place they're going's like?

The City of Ember: Chapter 16

In chapter 16, The Singing, Lina had failed to escape the guards, and they took her to the mayor. But just as he was going to officially arrest her... the lights went out. Lina immediately, with put thinking, ran for the roof. Once on the roof, the lights went on, and Singing began. The city filled with voices, happily singing, obvious to what was going on around them. But just as they had come on, the lights, again, went out towards the end. But the singing didn't stop. And once it did, the people remained in darkness. Nothing was happening. No lights. Darkness. Was this the end? But no, Lina saw the candles glowing brightly, and heard people scream in terror of the light. She knew it was Doon. And as the lights went on, she joined him.

QUESTIONS: Will Lina make it to the river with Doon? Will others follow?

The City of Ember: Chapter 15

In chapter 15, A Desperate Run, Doon and Lina finish their exploring in the river room and go home to get ready. While Doon was packing, he over heard 2 guards looking for him to arrest him (because of the "awful lies" he and Lina said about the mayor.) The next day, he went to Lina to tell her the awful news. They hid in the school. No one was there, it was a day off for the Singing. They decided to leave the city alone, but leave a note for Clary, telling her about the way out. But Lina was spotted by 2 guards while delivering the message.

QUESTIONS: Do you think Lina will get caught? Will Doon leave without her? What will happen to ember?

The City of Ember: Chapter 14

In chapter 14, The Way Out, Doon and Lina went to investigate what they thought was the exit. They had found a latter leading down to a dark, dark space. They found a door, leading into an even darker room. In the room, they found 2 boxes of tools labeled *"Candles" and *"Matches", and some kind of thing labeled *"Boat". After they found out what they were for, they found a river: their way out.

*They don't know what it is.


QUESTIONS: Do you think they'll tell the rest if Ember? Will the rest of Ember believe them? When will they go?
