The City Unknown

Author's note: This short speech is about the main conflict in The City Of Ember.

As the government runs The City of Ember they don’t realize bigger things are going on. The main conflict is that the main character Lina
is trying to save this city that no one knows about. It’s losing power so as she tries to fix this the government isn’t forcing her to work as a job messenger she still has to.

One way I feel like this could be resolved is the government pays more attention to the problems around them then controlling the people. Although some times control is good if it’s causing you not to see bigger problems. Then I would think you would want to know if your city is being destroyed.
The second way I feel like this could be resolved is if the main character teams up with the government and convinces them to fix it. Although that might not work she could go against the government and try to fix it herself or maybe a little help from her friends.

This conflict would be person vs. society because the main characters are going against the government to try to save this secret city. Although the government should be fixing it themselves they ate to busy running this city. Even though I feel like this should be resolved by the government It probably wouldn’t be as good as it is now.
