I think that Lina is a very smart and mischievous girl. i think that Doon is honest, blunt, brave, and hard working. I think that the two of them are going to be great friends and create a lot of problems for other people. I wonder why people think that there is complete darkness in the outside world. I wonder if the city of ember is underground or in some kind of dome. I think that the mayor might be a villain later in the book.I wonder what is going to happen next in the book. I think that the chapters in the book are very long i had to read until page 30. also if the world was so dark how could the builders have built the city of ember? I think that there are a lot of flaws in the city, and i think doon and lina are going to fix them. Maybe doon and lina are going to venture beyond the walls or whatever barrier there is from the outside world. also why in almost every book one of the main charactors parents (or both) Die like come on give me a break from death!?!?!

so at the starting of the book there are 2 people, Doon and Lina, so basically its some like job day in their school and lina gets pipeworks helper and she does not like that job and then doon gets messenger which is like a very pog job but doon doesnt want to be messenger, and lina was the one that really wanted messenger, and then at the end of the school day doon and lina trade jobs because doon wanted to be pipeworks dude, and then he explains to lina about how the generator is down there and how he wants to like fix it, so like the city of ember has like really bad light problems and stuff, so then doon and lina trade papers and then lina runs home and tells her granny that she got messenger and her grandma is really happy, so then she tells her baby sister and the their all really happy so then lina and her baby sister (whos name is poppy) go to their apartment and then yeah thats it

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Lina is a bright girl with a lot of bright ideas but I think her job is not letting her do that. When the book said that Doon had specific wishes for his job I think they meant that Doon aksed for anything but messenger. I do not think that Lina should trade jobs with Doon. Yes, she hates her job but if the so called generator gets into the wrong hands I imagine that their could be a problem. I feel happy for Lina getting her dream job but can not help thinking what Doons ¨Big Plans" The envision that Lina had was probably her running around the city being messenger. I think that in the City of Ember people are counting on the light bulbs that light their city more then anything else. Hence, the reason why electrical person is the most important job. And it is the citizens greatest fear that after one of their power outages the power will never come back on. In the beginning of the book maybe that´s what the instructions that are locked away are for?

The intro shows us what the builder and assistant plan about the city of ember was and how they were gonna get out then chapter one is like showing the city and chapter two was assignment day where you get a job and a girl named lina get pipeline worker and doon gets messenger and gets enraged and so they both trade jobs and lina starts delivering messages

# data[].attributes.body
So basically its lina’s first day on the job and she already has 19 messaging things to do so then on her last message she had to see the mayor and the security officer says that the mayor is in a very important meeting and after a very long time the mayor is still not here so then lina gets impatient and curious so then she opens the door and it leads to a stairwell s she walks up and she ends up on the rooftop and she’s just dancing there and then a security guard finds her and then he’s like very bad and then the mayor is like very bad and then lina tells him that she has a message for him and then she tells him and then she just goes home, and then we have doon who is now in the tunnels with arlin and she shows all the parts of the tunnel and she shows him the door of the generator room but they cant go in so then once arlin leaves doon immediately goes to the generator room and then the generator is really loud so then he asks someone about the generator and then they tell him to shoo cuz they cant hear him and then at the end of the day doon asks an old man about the generator and the old man says some stuff, an when doon gets home he’s mad so then he throws a heel and he bonks his dad accidentally and then he tells his dad all of his problems and ya thats it, i also see that both doon and lina are curious because lina goes to the rooftop and doon goes into the generator room.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the special message that Lina had to deliver to the mayor is super important. I probably has something to do with the Builders and the Instructions and what not. A recurring theme seems to be the city of Lina's dreams where everyone is bright and everything is bright. Lina hopes that somewhere someday that that city either exists or will exist. I wounder how someone does not run out of breath or feel any pain in their legs when they are messenger? Maybe they are all robots! The fact that Doon has never seen a river leads me to believe that their is not a lot of streams, oceans, pools, lakes, ponds, or river near or in ember. Doons thoughts about city falling apart and nothing doing anything about lead me to believe that the people doing something about it are probably him and Lina saving the city of ember. Maybe that is what this book is all about.

# data[].attributes.body
Lina did something she shouldn’t have done and got lucky and did not get in trouble but got a warning and doon looked at the generator and was not caught and we learn more about his family and life

# data[].attributes.body
I think that what her granny was talking about was not just ¨The old mans sock" I think that it was the instructions. This is big news knowing that Lina might have the possible instructions to save the city if they ever have a power outage again. This gives me even more reason to believe that the point of this book is for Doon and Lina to bond while looking for the instructions and going on an adventure to save the city. I think that Sadge Merall is just someone who is curious. I think this because it said that Sadge said that it was so dark. And I remember Lina saying something about it being to dark for anyone to further explore. When I say IT I mean the outside world that extends farther then the city of ember. I think that Sadge tried to go beyond because he was board of his life. I think this because I also remember Lina saying that Supply Depot clerks are often board because it is a very dulling job. He probably just wanted something new and interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Lina may think that her granny is just a crazy old lady but I think that she was talking about the box with the details in it. Also I think that lina is the main character and doon is more of a secondary character. i think that the main goal in this book is to get into the "unknown regions". I think that the city of ember has a lot of flaws i think that some of those flaws are that you are not tested to see what jobs you would be good at and which jobs you would be really bad at. I also think that lina is going to go to the unknown regions. i think that we will find this stuff out very soon, maybe in the next part we read.

btw i only read to page 71 because that is where the chapter had ended and i did not feel like reading until page 83.

doon tells about the pipes and then lina has a order and finds potato running low and she did not want that to happen
and then meets sarge who shows something and then she wathches him go crazy gets 2 color pencils for 10$ (insane) and then loses her little sister/poppy and doon kept her safe and a blackout caused her to get lost

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Lina should not have lost Poppy. It is very bad that she chose some colored pencils over her sister. If something like this happens again it could be very bad. I also think that Doon was acting very strange when he was returning Poppy. Almost as if he was scared or impatient or something like that. Also, I think that the fact that the last one was 3 minutes and this one was 7 minutes is really bad. I bet it means that they are getting closer and closer to the city´s lights never turning back on. I think that the paper that Poppy was eating was the instructions. Which is sad because she was eating them. I have two theories either Captain Fleery is just annoying and is directing Lina from everything but the truth. Or, she is on some kind of team were nobody is supposed to read the instructions. So she is trying to get Lina to think less of it.

# data[].attributes.body
lina searches doon's neighborhood and finds her i doons house and she thanks him and whats common for us is kinda rare for them and she goes to lizzie and talks

# data[].attributes.body
I know this is more of a summary then a jot but i just felt like it: I think that Granny’s confusion worsens. Lina appreciates the way Mrs. Murdo helps by keeping Granny company, tending to Poppy, and making breakfast. Lina overhears in the market line that a shop on Night Street has colored pencils. After debating the expense of such a luxury, she takes Poppy and heads to the shop. She passes  Sadge on the steps of the Gathering Hall, calling out sad descriptions of his journey to the Unknown Regions. Nearby, Believers, a pseudo-religious group, sing to a pipe player. Lina wonders what they mean when they sing “Soon, soon, coming soon”. Once in the Night Street shop, Lina realizes the shopkeeper is looper, the man who sent a message to mayor cole. Lina worries over the expensive purchase, but she chooses a blue and a green pencil and pays. When Lina turns to leave, Poppy is gone. She runs outside to look for her, but the lights go off. lina panics during the whole long blackout. Finally the lights come back on. She resumes looking for Poppy, a few people get mad at her for losing a baby, but soon doon comes out of a shop holding Poppy’s hand. Relieved, lina thanks him.

# data[].attributes.body
so basically lina finds poppy with doon and then she thanks himbut then when she goes home she finds her granny looking for the box but poppy finds it and then lina finds papers and she tries to piece it all together but she cant do it so then she calls captain fleery but captain fleery says she doesnt know, then she tells her to take theday off and than lina calls lizzie bisco and then thats it

# data[].attributes.body
Lizzie came to Lina's to see if she could decode it but it seemed to be a waste of time because all Lizzie did was chatter. Then, she sent a letter to the mayor of ember to see if he understood what it was but he did not respond yet. Lina thinks that these could be the instructions to get to the city that she had always dreamed of. That could be a possibility but I think that the instructions to saving the city is a more likely idea.  The fact that Lina thinks Doon would b the only person interested  in what she found help proves my point that  Doon and Lina go on an adventure to save the city. I think that Doon really needs to work on his anger manegment. But at the same time he is getting bullied. I feel like Lina is just throwing out not so great ideas will nilly, and Doon is calmly stating good ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
basically poppy finds and eats a paper up that leads the way out of the city of ember while doon studies worms and collects bugs to reearch and people call him bug boy and he gets to angry that he kills all the bugs he was collecting and lina and doon were asking people and were putting the puzzle together and they search the clues they have right now (clary tells them it intructions for egress which means the way out)

# data[].attributes.body
and then she calls doon so then they piece-everything together and then the door that doon found is probably the door they have to go through

# data[].attributes.body
I think that granny has died. I think this is because Mrs.Murdo said, Well the two of you can't love alone. I definitely think that Lizzie is hiding something. I think that since Lizzie works at the supply place she got those from the storage room. (yes I know I barely jotted)
