7. Who are the believers? What role do they play in the story? Maddie: The Believers are the religious citizens of Ember. They believe that someone will come to save them before everything runs out because there are shortages. Max: I agree with you Maddie but also in the story the role they play is they think that the Buliders who bulit Ember are going to save them and make their scared go away and get out of Ember. Diti; I agree with you Max, and you too Maddie, the Believers' role in the story //is// they think that the Builders of Ember will come back to get them out of Ember. The only way the Builders' can come back is if they come out of the dead somehow, but otherwise, nobody will probably **ever** leave Ember! Allison: I agree with Max, Maddie, and Diti, The role of the Beilevers' is they hope/think that someone or the builders is going to come and rescue all the people of ember. The Beilevers go around ember singing songs about their religion and how the believe someone will come. But, nobody can come and get them, the people of ember have to ascape their selfs.

Ankur:

The believers are the people who believe that the builders will come and save the human race of Ember. The role the believers play in the story is they hope for the builders to come and rescue them (the people of Ember).The believers always hope that soon the builders will come and rescue them.The whole City of Ember are believers including Lina and Doon.

Ashley:
==== The Believers are a group of singers who think that positive things are going to happen. For example, on page 99 (chapter7), Captain Fleery is a Believer and she believes that the Buliders are going to come back (from the dead) to "show the way" to the Emberites. ====
