After concluding The City of Ember, I realized that the kids had broken rules throughout the entire book. However, without them going against the rules, they would have never saved the city.
At the very beginning of the book, Lina and Doon broke the rules by exchanging jobs. They each had drawn each others dream job out of the box and decided to switch. Later on the book, Doon broke the rules and decided to go find the generator underground. If he hadn't of done his, he would have never known how to fix the City. Once the children de-code the letter they found, they went on a mission to find the solution to the City. All of the city officials were trying to find them to stop them but they went anyways. They went on the boat alone and out into the world alone.
This leads to bravery. The children showed tremendous amounts of bravery throughout the entire novel. They are only twelve years old trying to save a city that has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years.
