WELCOME MESSAGE


Welcome to this blog created to share ideas and resources . The idea is to be able to use this blog to allow you to provide your own ideas on what you think, or feel about the texts you read. Your regular creation of reading logs, diary pages, and other kinds of entrances will develop your ability to interpret the characters' feelings, to think critically and to be able to capture those ideas when writing. Good Luck!

The city of Ember Review


                                    

                                   Review

 "The City of Ember" is a story about an underground city whose citizens must get away since  the generator, the machine that gives light to all the city, is working worse and  worse  every day. But there is a problem: the instructions to get out got all broken and the message cannot be easily deciphered. Two young citizens, the protagonists, must  decode it and find the way out.

One of them is called Lina  Mayfleet, a 12-year-old  girl that works as a messenger. She is good at sports, especially at running, her legs are really quick. She found the instructions that would lead them out of the city in her little sister´s mouth and she has been trying to make  sense of the message inside, with  the help of Doon, the male protagonist. Harow Doon is twelve too, he enjoys studying bugs and electricity. He is really clever, but unfortunately he couldn´t use his abilities because he works at the pipeworks. Yet, his perseverance will  help him  find  the way out  of Ember!!!

This book is interesting, in my opinion, better than other school books, it is compelling when the characters get into problems!!!
I recommend it for students of my age or younger since the characters are around our age, and that makes the story catching!!!
