Homework #8 Fav Literary Work

One of my favorite literary works would be considered "The City of Ember", by Jeanne DuPrau. The story is about a city, which is built underground, where it is dark all the time. There is no sun, moon, and stars. The only light they have is due to electricity, but that is running low. Imagine living in a city where the only available light is flood lights mounted to the top of giant poles and buildings. Everything in the city of Ember is old, which causes the lights to go out in the middle of the day. Darkness then begins to take over the town during mid day. It takes two brave pre-teen charcters, to go down into the city's basement, the sewer, to investigate on why the town is always dark. They soon solve the mystery of the cities opaqueness. The author of this story is Jeanne DuPrau, because she wrote the book. Another author would be myself, because I had my own insight, which may differ from Jeanne DuPrau's interpretation. I may have felt different feelings from DuPrau when reading parts of this story.
