City of Embers
By Jeanne DeParu
My Reviews

I thought the City of Embers was a good book. It was a race against time before the whole city will go black. In the beginning of the book it was boring but when Lina and Doon discovered that there was a way out of the city that’s when the story became exciting. I like when Lina and Doon switched jobs because they were better for the job the other one had. I like the science fiction part and that the book was set in the future. There was adventure and danger when Lina, Doom and Poppy went down the river and climbed those rocks.

Lina was more adventurous and she dreamed about a city that had lights. Doon was quiet and he wanted to save the city from going into complete darkness. The Mayor was greedy and selfness and tried to arrest Lina and Doon for telling the truth about Looper a man who work for the Mayor and was stealing from the city. Once they discovered that the City of Ember was underground the whole time the book was a mystery.

City of Embers
Summary

The City of Embers is about underground city that was built 200 years ago by two builders for the last protection of the human race. The builders realized supplies would not last so they decide to leave details for escape in a special designed box. This box was handed down to Mayor to Mayor, but overtime the box was misplaced. Storerooms were built to stock everything the people of the city need: food, clothes and tools. Later, the lights of the city started to fade and dim. The city would black out often because the generator was weak. This scared all the people in town because the lights would soon stay out for good. Living in the city are two kids named Doon Harrow and Lina Mayfleet who were friends. The kids graduated and were assigned jobs, but neither one wanted the job they were assigned to so they switched. Doon became and pipe worker and Lina became and messenger.

    In the City of Ember, the setting is dark and gloomy. The author, Jeanne DuPrau, reveals that the city is very broken and is in a destitute condition as many blackouts occurred in the city. For instance, Doon points out, “Running out of light bulbs, running out of power, running out of time—disaster was right around the corner” (48). The status of Ember is poor due to the lack of resources. As this dark situation threatens to overtake the city, Doon steps forward to join the pipeworkers, while he could have enjoyed a simple life by being ignorant, to find a way to fix the generator in order to stop the blackouts from occurring. Doon, who is fully aware of how Ember is running out of everything, decides to take an initiative to find a solution…

    Ingrid and I share a strong passion for reading. Her idol is Sherlock Holmes and she has read his entire book collection, but I on the other hand haven’t read any of his books. Also, as she has been locked in a home I have been locked out… many times. And that’s pretty much the only thing we have in common because her sheer braveness and instinct are very unique to find in a person so young. I was so intrigued by this book that I found it impossible to put down. I literally finished it in a few hours. This book is a good read for any one who likes action, suspense, mystery, or just a plain good…

    The underlying issue is the introduction of compensation policies that would support Slastyona’s business strategy of rapid growth. Slastyona is willing to transform factory A into their flagship manufacturing site in Russia and in this region of the world, which would require changes in the compensation and benefits policies that are being applied. Taking into consideration the rapidly changing and complex environment in Russia, it is important pay and HR policies to be implemented that would allow Slastyona to attract, retain and motivate high performing individuals, in order to fulfill its objective to make Factory A state-of-the-art factory. The process of introducing those changes is hampered by the flux in the Russian pay market and by the General Manager of Factory A, Wilton Winchester, who is rather short-sighted, uncooperative and is opposing the planned changes at the factory.…
