City of Ember

Author’s note: My cause and effect from the book "The City of Ember" by Jeanne DuPrau.

The builders created an underground city called Ember, for the safety of the people from the outside world. Over time; the city has become worn down, power outages are common, most of the people live in their own waste, and the city is running out of supplies. Everybody wants to get out of the city, and two people figure out how to escape. Doon and Linda solved a ripped up note that has directions to lead the citizens of Ember to the outer world. Then just as they solved the note, the government of Ember issues warrants for their arrests. They were not able to share the information with all of the citizens, because they need to leave. The reason the government wants them arrested is because, they spread malicious lies about the mayor. As the result of the events of solving the note and insulting the mayor; the government forced Doon and Linda  to leave Ember.
