Kobe Bean Bryant is his name and basketball is his game, he is unstoppable with his dazzling moves to the basket and simply perfect shot sent him flying to the top. Kobe is the best basketball player of this century.
Coming from Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia Kobe quickly became on all NBA scouts watch list with bringing a skill to the game that people haven’t seen since Michael Jordan.

But his senior year was most impressive year. Bryant led the Aces to their first state championship in 53 years. During the run, he averaged 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.0 steals, and 3.8 blocked shots in leading the Aces to a 31–3 record.
In the long career of Kobe’s he has done some amazing things, he has more awards than many people, winning three MVP’s 6 offensive players of the year and many more. He is fifth all time in total points with 29,374 points he was the fastest player to reach 28,000 points.
He has also contributed his wide range of skills overseas on the USA Olympic team paring up with all the stars of the NBA contributing a lot while the team winning three gold medals. Kobe made the game winning jump shot in the semi finals to beat China to continue on and win the gold.

In the book Woods Runner there is a boy named Samuel who lives in the middle of the woods in the year 1776. Samuel is a thirteen years old, but he is the bravest thirteen year old ever he has to go and find his parents that have been captured by the British and Indians. With only a musket, a knife, and a determination to find his parents he sets off to find his parents, even if he can find them there is no telling that he can be able to overtake the British.

In the book “The City of Ember” one of the main characters name is Lina she is a big part in the story, and as the story progresses she changes in different ways. Lina changes as the book goes on.
In the first part of the book Lina is a happy adventures girl that is so excited for this day the day they choose their jobs. Lina has dreamed and pictured this day forever the day she would picked as messenger. But at first she didn’t get it but in the end of the day after a trade in jobs she would get messenger. So in this part of the book she couldn’t be happier she was at an all time high she was finally going to start her job. The excitement was rushing through her veins to start. So at the begging of the book her change is she is very happy to start her job and that means taking on new responsibilities.
Now in the middle of the book Linda changes from being excited to being worried and somewhat scared and also mad with the blackouts getting more frequent and longer. Also with the findings that the mayor the soul leader of the city is doing nothing about the blackouts.

Now at the end of the book Lina is back to being more than excited she is ecstatic that her and Doon have found a way out of the city but only her Doon and her baby sister are going to search for a way out. They take the river down the path but the front part of the ride was not so nice, the current was unbarring and throwing them around Lina was feeling scared and was acting like they were going to die. But when they slowed down and forced to get out of the boat because the river ended they found a path that was raising Linas hopes that they were going to find a way out, and when they did she was very excited and happy that they found a way out.
In the story Lina has a lot of ups and downs as the story progresses but in the end she ends up very happy.

Creative Essay
Compare and contrast for “The City Of Ember”
Authors Note: I am writing this piece on comparing and contrasting the mayor and what Doon would want in a mayor from Doon’s point of view.
In the book “The City Of Ember” the main character is Doon and he lives in a city that is run by a corrupt mayor that in a time of struggle for the city, he is lying to the city he says that they have a plan to fix the problems but the truth is they have no plan. While there running out of everything he is stealing from the reserves, how this was discovered was Doon had came upon him in the reserves room stuffing his face with food. This essay is to compare and contrast the current mayor with the mayor Doon would want.
First there are many differences between the mayor and the mayor Doon envisions. Some of them are the mayor that Doon would want has a leadership quality that the current mayor doesn’t have, also in a time of struggle the dream mayor would not lie and just say they have a solution he would come before the townspeople and tell them some of the plans he had in store. Unlike the current mayor that just says they have a solution but really they have none. Another thing is that the dream mayor would be open to the people unlike the current that is kind of a hermit he keeps to himself unless necessary and the dream mayor would make sure everyone in the city is happy and enjoys their job, unlike the current mayor that doesn’t care about the cities feelings and only cares about himself.
Even though there are many differences between the two mayors there are some similarities. Some of them are that the current mayor and the dream mayor would be strict on crime which they are. Also both the dream mayor and the current mayor make sure everyone is employed and doing their part to make the city better.
In the book “The City of Ember” the main character Doon does not like the current mayor because of the recent findings he has uncovered about the mayor and he wants a new one that would be just like the one I stated in this essay.

Quote for "The City Of Ember"
Quote for “The City Of Ember”
“Who knows? Our job is to keep it from breaking down”
That is the quote from the generator worker to Doon when he was in the generator room. The quote is important because the topic is the main part of the story the generator. It is breaking down; I think this quote is important because it shows that nobody has a solution for the problem at hand (The generator).
How this quote is important is because when Doon got a view of the generator and asked a worker how it works he replied, “Who knows? Our job is to keep from breaking down”. Also I think that it is a big part in the story because the problem at hand is a matter of life or death, but not even the people that have been working on it there entire life don’t even know the first thing on how to fix it. Even Doon that had a plan to fix it was having second thoughts because what the worker had told him.
The quote is important because it is a huge part in the story, it shows that the city is doomed because trying to fix the generator is a lost cause everyone doesn’t have a clue on how to even approach the massive generator, and the quote about sums it up.

Predicting for "The City Of Ember"
Predicting for the city of ember
Authors note: I am writing this essay about predicting for the book “The City of Ember”.
In this book so far there are two main characters Lina and Doon they both live in a city that is powered by nothing but lights. But the city is in danger the power is about to fail, and the city is running out of supplies rapidly. There are two solutions but they are both risky, one is to go out into the darkness and try to seek out another city. But the darkness holds uncertain dangers and is risky. Another idea is to try to fix the generator but no one knows how to work the generator because it is old and no instructions were left in case of it breaking down.
I predict that the people will be forced to travel into the darkness and attempt to find another city. The reason I predict this is because it seems like the most logical solution but no one has managed to get a mobile light source to take with them when they go into the darkness to light the way and they will find another city that can help the city of ember.
