Because they learn and get jobs. To learn how to protect the city. They go for 12 years, we go for 14 or 15 years. They perceived him really nice ( except for Doon). Just the mayor. For entertainment. Once when I was in big trouble someone else stood up and said they did it. To do more big favors.

====They should be excited because They are learning and preparing to go out in the real world. Because they will be educated to get a job,and know how to do it. We have career day, wich is sort of like assignment day. They don’t show their emotion about their job, until they get back to their seats. But not Doon, he through the piece of paper on the ground and put a scowl on his face. Just in general. Most people want To be “the center of the crowed”. One time my friend bballplayer, stopped a soccer **ball from going into a goal, we won the game. Like wow I just helped that person, I feels good.** ====

Ells It is important for the kids to be excited for school because they pay attention better and do not get board. The purpose of school is to prepare them for any job they could get. Their school is the same by, it prepares us for when we get older. Their school is different by, they get out of school at the age of 12 and state working. Doon threw down his piece of paper and started complaining. I think it is just the mayor. I think some people put on a show because they think it makes them look cool. A time I have done a big favor for someone is when, I helped set up stuff for a wedding anniversary. When I do a favor i feel good. BigMac It’s important for kids to be exited for school because when you are 12 you are done w/ school and you get a job! The jobs are stuff to help the city with electricity to green house stuff. The purpose of school is to get you prepared for assignment day. Our school is the same because we have boys and girls but it is more different than same. Because when you’re 12 you leave school and the mayor comes in and you choose a job from a bag. The job you get is the job you get for 3 years. The kids understand the mayor because he went over specific instructions. They were, These jobs are the jobs you will get for 3 years, if you don’t like the job or it doesn’t fit you, you can get re-asighned! I think they become aware of the adults, because of the jobs and what they have to go through. Like a sewage guy would stink and be crabby from the dung. of a floral person would be nice, because of the flowers. How people put on a show for others is that people like doon, he threw is paper on the floor, he was so mad. A time i did a big favor for someone is that one of my freinds were playing baseball and he hit the ball into the top floor of the spookiest house in laingsburg. we weren’t able to go in there till’ night. So when it was night I went into the house and got the ball. My motivation was, I wanted to go in the House. BigMac Drakezilla Students should be excited about school because it teaches you stuff about life and prepares you for the real world.

Are school is the same because well we both do school work and we are different because we don’t have to do jobs around the city for a school assignment.

The kids percieve the mayor a fat, lazy, old piece of junk.

Just the mayor.

To get attention.

Well one time when I was over at Keaton’s house and he told me he had to go down stairs to get something. So,when he came back he had a hand full of Reese’s Piecies and he is not sopposed to have them, but when his mom asked who got into them and I said I did it. But I didn’t get in trouble.Being a good friend was my motivation.

Wally The fist time I went down to swim 14 feet down I ran out of breath I say you should just keep trying thats what I did and now I can touch bottom at 18 feet so just keep trying. People in our class show a good way of that we do not give up well most of us any way. Also I was scared to jump off 15 feet high then I did it I loved it and now I do it every time I go there we don’t go there much but it is fun when we do it is out door so we cant do it much

**Soccerstar18

Doon can’t go in the generator room. But he quietly sneaks in there anyway. No i have never had a “close then fail” situation. Just like his dad’s words To him. Yes, Doon likes collects bugs.I like to play sports, any kind. No, but you never know if they are telling the truth. I think it was when my sister’s friend was going to bail on her, I didn’t tell my sister.** BigMac

I’ve been playing, Super Mario 64 and got all the way to the final Battle with Bowser, But only to come to a fail.

“Doon, My advice is that you got to keep trying to understand the Machine and to save Ember!”

My hobbies are: Competitive eating, video games, baseball, football, and magic.

It depends what “truth” is, if it is the truth about something they don’t understand, it makes sense. If it is a “truth” about somebody, it might be affiancing.

The worst time to tell the truth is when your already “Behind the 8 ball” and you reveal a worse truth.

 Drakezilla

One day this week I was working on my story for my March Madness project I promised my self I would get it done but my mom told me I had to go to bed.

Just keep working hard,my friend.

I collect those mini football helmets and cool keychains.

No, because its the truth and it can sometimes keeps you away from danger.

Like if your dad is calling your soccer couch to tell him you can’t come to practice because your sick, but you really have to finish your homework.

** Ells ** **A time I was so close to succeeding is when I went to shoot but the whistle blew and it was half time. I would tell him to keep trying. the hobbies i have are, drawing, sketching, playing outside, playing soccer. No, I do not think it is fair that an individuals should get penalized for telling the truth. A time it would not be good to tell the truth is when you are going though tough times and you tell them it is not going to get better.**

bob0711

When I used to play soccer I knew I was on my last year and I made a goal to make a goal but I never did. If I were Doon I would never give up (that was also my advice). I have hobbies of: technology, video games, and reading. Individuals should NEVER be penalized for telling the truth because truth is good because if you never told the truth nobody would trust you. When you do something bad and you hate getting in trouble.

In my story, Lina’s grandmother died. In my other stories i read people died. Like: In city of bones hodge dies and he was alex, Jace, and Izzy’s “Father” they never had. And in City of Ashes Simon got killed and turned into a vampire. And in DIVE, a whole lot of people died. BigMac Soccerstar18 1. The 7th mayor put the box in the closet.

2. Lina’s granny’s grand father was the 7th mayor. He was the one who put the box in the closet. He is Lina’s great, great ( don’t no how many greats) grand father.

3. Granny, Lina’s granny died in the same house that her grandfather had died in.

Els 1.The 7th mayor put the box in the closet and died before he could tell anyone about it. Lina finds the box and its instructions, she shows Doon and goes down into the pipeworks. To follow the instructions.

2. Granny’s Grandfather is the 7th mayor.

In the book Lina found a really important thing just like other books I have read. In the book Lina goes exploring in town hall just like many other books I have read. Doon wants to find a solution just like other characters in many other books I have read.

__Day 7 Wiki Response Questions:__

 * Connecting prior knowledge and experience to reading deepens comprehension. I would like you to explain one type of connection that you've made with the book you've been reading.** __List__ and __explain__ the __type of connection made__ & __answer how this helped you to understand the story better__.

__My connection was a text- within- text were in the beginning of the story they had the builders explain to the mayor what to do. So in about 1,000 years, the box would open reveling what to do. But one of the mayors died and didn’t give the box to the other. How this helped me was Lina found the box and poppy was eating it. The whole next 4 chapters was trying to figure out what it was for. Lina And Doon went to the mines. BIGmAC

ells The connection I made is text within text. The connection is that when granny died the city seemed even more sad then they were. Another is that the builders told the 1rst mayor what to do he was to keep the box safe until it opened and a long time later the instruction in the box were found.__

Drakezilla I've made a text with in self connection with Lina when her Granny died because over this past year my Grandpa died.I exspeacily can connect with Lina when she discribed Granny still,pale,and life less because those are the same words that discribed my Grandpa a few hours after his death.

Soccerstar18 Lina and I are alike when we start something I have to finish it. Home work for example I have to finish Math before I start English. She started the “instructions” and will not give up. We both have little siblings. They get into trouble fast,and you need to keep a good eye on them. Lina is also about the same age as me so I can relate what she is going through.

bob0711

I used a text within text connection. When Doon found out the mayor was using all the supplies for himself I remembered when Lina delivered the message to him and the guard said he was busy in the basement and she couldn’t go down their.

WALLY ☠ I think the mayor is a jerk and only cares for himself I think that because he looks like he doesn't care at all and now cares less about other people. Also I think Doon has anger problems because he could not climb the whole pole and people laughed at him then he yelled at them all. And he lost a friend like that so Doon and Lina aren’t friends any more but then they sort of get along at were I’m reading now.

**__Day 9__**

Drakezilla ** **The climax of the story so far is when Doon and Lina are trying to escape Ember. Well Doon and Lina are trying to escape Ember and the citizens of Ember are trying to stop them and to make it worse Poppy ran away. I think Lina will find Poppy and Doon and Lina are going to get out of Ember.**

Soccerstar18
__**Lina and Doon tried to tell the people of Ember that they found a way out, but the mayor called them vicious roomers. So he sends his guards out to capture Lina and Doon. The mayor’s guards never got Doon, but they almost got Lina. So Doon and Lina go down in the pipeworks trying to escape. They get to the room filled with the boats. Lina ended up taking her little sister Poppy. Poppy was mostly whining the hole time. Then they found the tunnel.**__


 * What's happening is they discover boats for the whole town to get in there and escape. So Doon and Lina, get to the room and discover that they have to tell the town, but Lina gets caught and is in BIG trouble for telling viscous rumors. I think Doon will come out to rescue Lina and they both tell the truth and the city will still be too selfish.**
 * Also I think the city will have an earth quake and will force the city to go to the boats. BigMac

bob0711**

They find boats in a secret room in the pipe works to ride down the river and Lina doesn’t want to take Poppy but she ends up taking her. I would predict that they are going to find an awesome and beautiful land and be happy.

wally☢+☣=☠ Well I think their putting the clues together. And it turns out the clues found were how to get out of Ember! Then they followed the clues and they were all were they were supposed to be so they escaped ember and dropped a note so they could all escape. They were in a new world and new animals they even saw their first bird.
