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: A place that holds deep positive memories for me is the very first place I grew up. When I was a baby up until the age of six, I grew up in a nice neighborhood on Peachtree Street in Decatur, Georgia. Over that time period, I ate many things I wasn't supposed to, like pennies. But that's besides the point. My fondest memories of living in Peachtree Street were my two dogs. My family owned two dogs, a dog named Brownie, and a dog named Princy. I don't remember the specific breed of each dog, but they were the best dogs a toddler could ask for. The one thing I distinctly remember is going into the backyard with Princy and rolling down the hill in our backyard with him. It's one of the best memories I'll ever have. 

Summary: Today in class, we started a story, called "A Rose for Emily."

Reflection: Reflecting on this, it stands out as one of my earliest and most cherished memories. The fact that my dog, with its incredible intelligence, was capable of playing and rolling down that hill alongside me when I was younger is truly incredible.
