Miss Emily’s house once represented pride and tradition, but over time it became a symbol of decay and isolation. Describe a place that holds deep memories for you—positive or negative—and explain how it reflects part of who you are or how you’ve changed over time.

 Prompt Response: There’s an old neighborhood basketball court at the end of my street that holds more memories than I can count. When I was younger, it was always crowded with friends, noise, and summer heat. Now it’s usually empty, the cracked pavement and bent rims showing how much time has passed. Walking by it reminds me of how quickly childhood slips away. It reflects the part of me that’s caught between who I used to be and who I’m trying to become.

Summary: We started reading the book "A Rose for emily"

Reflection: growing older can be scary, seeing things you once knew break down.
