Chapter 11 - City of Ember

What was in Lizzie's groceries? How did she get them? Why are these canned fruits and vegetables so important? Do you think Lizzie's activities were legal? Why or why not?

    Lizzie had canned goods that people think were long gone. She had; peaches, creamy corn, asparagus, and applesauce. I believe she got them from her boyfriend Looper, who found it in the Pipe Works secret room or something like that. They are important because Ember is running low on food and supplies and they need as much necessities because they need something to survive on. I don’t think her activities are legal. She made a point in the book where she said, “There’s not a lot of canned goods left and if people find out about this, they will fight over the food.” She makes a good point, however it’s wrong that she keeps supplying herself and leaving the other people to worry, especially when Ember in on the brink of destruction.

    Lizzie’s groceries were loaded with things that people had hard time getting. She got them from Looper, her boyfriend, who got it from the pipe works. Sounds coincidental? I think not, so it’s pretty much illegal. But why would they risk all the food now, and die early, rather than extend their life. They could live longer with more food, and find a way out. But if they find a way out without any food, they’re doomed. Definitely they should be checked upon and there should be a more accurate check of what the people of Ember has in the storage rooms. Some people need it more than other, and starving should be first.

    In Lizzie's groceries, there were fruit and vegetable cans (peaches, creamy corn, asparagus, and applesauce)which she got from her boyfriend. Lizzie's boyfriend works at same store where Lizzie works and he found out the cans in empty places which other worker did not try to see.
    The cans are important because people in the city think there are none available for them. It is only few left and Lizzie and her boyfriend surreptiously took them.
    I definitely do not think Lizzie's action as a legal because she did not pay and did it without letting others know. She stole the cans which every one in the city have longed for years..

    Lizies groceries contained canned fruits and vegetables[Apple sauce. creamy corn, peaches and asparagus].Her and her boyfriend work in the same store, and he was the one who gave it to her. I think it was kind of wrong in a way, because it seemed as if they were stolen, but.. who was in charge anyways?? But he did find them in an empty place. Its as if no one payed attention to it nor did they bother to atleast double check the area where the canned goods were. I wouldnt say taking them without permission was right, since the people in the city of ember assumed that there was non for them. It was not really wrong of her, but it was totally wrong of her boyfriend I guess.

    In this chapter much of the food said on the story were very healthy.. I hope I could eat up all of the healthy fruits and vegetables..She had food like, corn, peaches, asparagus, and apple sauce. She got all these food from her boyfriend Looper. Looper got it from the pipe works. I don’t think what Lizzies doing is legal because she or Looper did not buy it and they it’s not fair for the other people if they found out she got those good food. If I was her no matter how much I would starve I'd still return the food because I don’t want for be unfair.

    There were fruits and vegetable cans (it is about peaches, creamy corn, asparagus, and applesauce) in Lizzie's groceries, all she got it from her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was work with Lizzie. All the fruits and vegetable cans her boyfriend who got it from empty places which nobody knows or went to check. The cans and vegetables are important, because the city of ember was always dark, and vegetables and fresh thing in there was so rare, because it is not easy to grow and plant. And I think Lizzie’s activities were legal, because everything about her boyfriend, she knows, and she just got it from him, and she knows everything, but she never told anybody and just continue to stole, and she never pay about it.

    In Lizzie’s groceries were canned fruits and vegetables. She had creamed corn, applesauce, peaches, etc. she had food that people in ember hadn’t seen in years. She got all her groceries from a guy she went to work with. I guess it’s her boyfriend because they like each other and they hang out. Her boyfriend gets them at work, but no one knows about it. It’s almost like stealing. I think that the canned fruits and vegetables are so important because they are very rare now and their city is running out of food. In my opinion, I think that Lizzie’s activities aren’t legal because she and her boyfriend shouldn’t be selfish and keep it all to them.

    She get from she’s boy friend. Because Lizzeies boy friend was found the secret room. There’re was really many canned fruits. So, she’s boyfriend steal little and selling. Also steal and gave to he’s girl friend Lizzeie. So, Lizzeie took and ate. But I think she knew because her boy friend gave to her. So I think that was not good. Boyfriend give to something that is really good. But this case was bad case so, I think it is NO good work!!

    In Lizzie’s groceries there were canned goods which are rare foods for the ember. And she said she got it from her boyfriend Looper. Looper had discovered a secret stock room that has lots of canned food and he was taking some foods from it. The canned foods were really important to the people in Ember, because they were lacking food for the people. And I say Lizzie’s activities are illegal, because all the people in Ember should know about these canned foods so that they won’t worry about their food to live. I say it is not fair that only Lizzie and Looper get to eat all the canned foods.
