among the free


                                                                    Among the free

 The  conflict is that if a family has 3 or more children the population police will kill the 3rd child  or  higher amount of kids. They  are safe if they were the 1st or 2nd born in the family by the law of the population police.

The  first resolution was fake Idée cards. Then the cards didn’t work because the population police found out about the fake Idée cards. The second one was Luke giving a speech to free the 3rd children. It worked because Oscar ran away. That gave the population police no defense. So the population police law was over.

conflict and resolution

Authors Note: This piece is about the conflict and resolution in the story City of Ember. I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of conflict and resolution.

This conflict is person vs. person because it is Lina and Doon vs. the rest of the city, and also person vs. society, because it is Lina and Doon vs. the rest of the city.
One of the conflicts for Doon and Lina is they are wanted. How they can resolve this is they go down the path out of ember by themselves. Another conflict is that the mayor is taking all the food that the people need. How it gets resolved is that Lina and Doon go the way out of Ember and into the other city.

This conflict is person vs. person another conflict is that all the light  bulbs are being stolen by the mayor. A solution is the mayor shares them with the people so the city doesn't run out of fresh light bulbs.

Major Event in City of Ember

Author's Note:  This is analyzing the causes and effects of the generator breaking down in the book City of Ember.  I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of cause and effect.

The major event is that the power is staying out a little more each power outage. What is the cause of it the 200 year old generator is breaking down a little bit at a time every week. The more it breaks down the longer the black outs are.

The effect is when the power goes out completely the people will not be able to get out and will not be able to find their food, and they will die. If the generator didn't break down the people wouldn't be worried about a complete outage that never comes back on.

The day comet died 3

Authors note: I wrote this piece to show how good i am at personal narrative
The day Comet, one of our  dogs,  died, he didn’t walk, eat, or even bark for  a while. So his time was today or in 2 days from now, I thought.
On the day he died in the morning he just sat there in the same spot in the kitchen near his bowl.  Then we went to school. During  the afternoon once I got home. I say Comet laying in the living room.
  Mom said, “ I wanted Comet to go once you got home.”  Once I heard  that I  began to sob and felt very upset.  Before we went to the vet I took some pictures of Comet with Peppy. So we went to the vet  after I took those pictures.  Before he died  I took a few pictures to remember him forever.
1 minute before he died I took 1 last picture of me and comet. Then he passed on. So since he died we got a dog ornament to remember him.  After we left the vet we cried all of the home. When my family got home we colored part of the ornament. The color of the his fur black. At home I have a bigger hole in my life and heart felt  like it exploded on the day he died.
 This day was a bad but a memorable day for my family and peppy.  Comet who is up in heaven.  Always on January 20th I will think back of comet even more ever year. Every January 20th  it always feels like a heavier hole.
