this pict is me with my new novel. hehe. city of ember is on the right. on the left is Pacarku hantu.
Now, i want to tell you, plot summary about City of ember.
Unidentified architects and engineers, referred to as "the Builders", designed a self-contained city that would include everything necessary for its inhabitants to survive for a period of 200 years. During that time, the Earth would be uninhabitable for an unspecified reason. After completion of the city, the Builders give the first mayor of the city a locked box that was to be passed down from one mayor to the next until the box would open automatically. Unknown to the mayors who pass it down the line, the box was set to open after 200 years and provide instructions to the city's inhabitants on how to return to the surface. It was hoped that by that time the earth would be habitable again.
For several generations, the box is faithfully passed down from one mayor to the next until the seventh mayor who, hoping that the box may contain a cure for the deadly cough that was infecting many citizens of the city at the time, takes the box home and tries to break it open. He doesn't succeed in opening the box, and dies before he is able to return the box, or inform anyone else of its importance.
The story jumps forward to the year 241. It is clear the town is disintegrating. Its infrastructure is crumbling, and the massive generator that provides the light and power for the city is on its last legs. The flood lamps that light the city are threatened by power shortages and blackouts. Moreover, the stockpiles of canned food and supplies are getting low.
At a graduation ceremony where young people are assigned their jobs, Lina Mayfleet is assigned the job of “Pipeworks Laborer", while Doon Harrow gets to be a “Messenger.” Unhappy with their assignments, the two of them decide to switch jobs.
Doon reports to his job in the pipes hoping to find a way to save Ember. He quickly realizes, though, that he does not know anything about the generator or how it works. Lina, however, is happy in her job as a messenger. The two then become friends. She runs to and from in the city delivering messages. She even has the privilege of delivering messages to the mayor from a strange man named Looper.
At home Lina cares for her elderly grandmother and her little sister, Poppy. One day, Lina finds her sister playing with an old piece of paper in an old box that she found amidst the chaotic mess of the apartment. Before Lina can stop her, Poppy chews on the scraps of paper and tears it to pieces. Lina saves the scraps and tries to figure out what they mean. She asks several people what they are without much help. Finally, she asks Doon to look at the message. Together, they decipher the text and find that it is the instructions on how to escape from the city. They also discover the box that was passed down the line of mayors, which in turn reveals a genetic relationship between the seventh mayor and Lina. Lina was living in the house of the seventh mayor, unbeknown to her, her grandmother, or her sister. The box is shown with the numbers 00, indicating that it is the original designated time that the discovered instructions were supposed to be followed in order to escape from the city.
While that is happening Lina's grandmother also dies. Lina and Poppy end up living with their next door neighbor Mrs.Murdo.
The two friends explore the tunnels in the Pipeworks to try and find the exit. They meet Looper there and learn that he and the mayor are keeping supplies for themselves. When the pair try to report the theft, they learn that the mayor has ordered them to be
arrested. Lina grabs her sister, the trio and make their escape via an underground river, where they discover boats for them to use.
When the boat stops, they see the natural world and find an old journal explaining the history of Ember. The Builders decided to protect 100 adults and 100 children to ensure that the human race would survive. Peering through an opening in the cave, the friends are shocked to see the dim, glimmering lights of the city far below. They never knew they were living underground.
Doon and Lina know they can never return but want the others to survive. They write a note explaining how to exit the city using the underground river. They throw the note into the hole so that it would fall down into Ember. The novel ends with Mrs. Murdo, a woman who had been caring for Lina and Poppy, finding the bundle containing the note.
