12. Describe the jobs the other kids get. What would you want to do, if you lived in Ember? Jack: If I lived in Ember, I would most likely want to be messenger like Lina Mayfleet. I would want to be messenger because I would get to run, and discover the parts of Ember that I never knew that they were there. Also, I also think that captin Fleery is a good boss. She seems deticated and hard working. Another reason is that I can find out secrets from the other peoples messages. This is why I would like to be messenger.

If I lived in Ember the job I would want is Messanger. I would want that job because it would be cool if I got to deliver all of these messages and find out cool secrets about people.
Mrs. McGee: Can you give text examples that show bring a messenger is "cool"?

Max:
===Some examples of "cool" messages are like maybe I could get a message from the mayor that can be important for getting out of Ember or something that"s really important. Also, Some others are maybe it can be Lizze"s secret or a secret about the person who enter the from in the pipworks secret door.===

Diti; Like Max, I would like to be messenger. Messenger is the job I would like because, like Lizzie's job, I wouldn't want to just stand in a building taking someone's orders for supplies. //I// would like a job where I can go on adventures while working //and// deliver cool messages like; when Lina got to deliver the message to Mayor Cole. Allison: I would like to be a messanger. I chose messenger because then I could explore all over Ember and see all the amazing things, go on adventures. Also I can find out all the secrets of Ember. I even could get to deliver messages to Mayor Cole! As Diti said, I wouldn't want to just sttherein a building taking someone's orders for supplies. You even can see your old friends like when Lina got to see her old friend Clary. Ashley: Like everyone, I would like to be a messenger. I would like to be a messenger because I get to go to new places that I have never been before. Also, I would be helping out the citizens nof Ember by delivering messages for them. Like Granny said on page 23, " You'll be a famous messenger." Ankur:  I would want to be a messenger like everybody else because I don't want to be like Doon who has to work in the cold caves and where there are a lot of bugs/insects. The Pipworks where Doon works is so dirty and muddy. Also I dont want to work at a place where somebody is stealing and putting their goods there. If I was a messenger I would be able to deliver anything to any place. I would have a lot more freedom as a messenger than a Pipworks worker. **//Jarod//:** Like everyone else, I would love to be a messenger. I chose messenger since you get to run around to different parts of the city. I would be able to see places I've never seen before. Also because the messages are helpful to the people who get them. Like in the book when Lina had taken the messages on page 30, those messages were helpful to the person receiving the message or to who sent it. Since I like helping people and I have a love for exploration, this is probably a job I would really like to have. Diti: Just like Jarod, I like helping people but i LOVE going on adventures

Tracey: Just like everyone else, I would like to be a messenger. I would like to be a messenger because I would help out the people of Ember by just giving them their mail instead of them walking to the postoffice or wherever they get their mail from. Also, i love to adventure like what Jarod said.I wouldn't want to be standing in the pipework's getting dirty (MUD). Also, I could find out who could be telling lies.

viviane:

I can't decide. Messenger sounds like fun. But tiring. Pipeworks sounds like fun, too. but messy. Pipeworks sounds dangerous. A messenger can get lost in a blackout. What if you can't remember the address or message? I think I would work in the pipeworks.
