PART II

This is happening to Lina because she is consumed by fear. When you are consumed by fear you cant talk and sometimes even move. Fear like this can make you sick to your stomach, literally. Lina is also upset because she lost Poppy while buying colored pencils for herself, when Granny needed a new coat. She also spent $10 on the two pencils.

I can tell that fear is building up within the city. Ever since the first blackout they all have been worried. In this section of the book not only does someone venture out into the unknown regions of Ember, but the power goes out. To make matters worse Lina lost Poppy as the lights went out. "Heart pounding she waited. Comeback lights, she pleaded. Please come back."(30% )
percents because I'm reading on my phone

I'm noticing that Doon is starting to enjoy the pipeworks although he came there to fix the generator. Doon is a character that sometimes puzzles me because he is relatable in some aspects and totally different from anyone that I know in others.

Although I've already read this book it was a long time ago and I want to see how my opinion has changed. I enjoy the authors vivid imagery used to describe the city and the character's appearance. I feel like Lina and Doon will become friends again because the author foreshadows it when Lina says, "maybe we will become friends once again". I relate to Doon because we both have a short fuse.
