Questions:

1. What do you think happens to Homer? Why he disappeared? I think Homer was with Emily for a long
time inside her house. Maybe Emily doesn't want to let go Homer so she locked hin inside her room/house.

2. Why Emily locked her house or the front door rather? Maybe because she doesn't want to noticed people
that Homer is inside her house.

3. Do you think Emily has a mental problem? Why? I think emily suffers a mental health problem because of
death of his father. She were left alone and no one is there to comfort her. I think she suffers anxiety or
depression.

4. Why Emily died? Because she's old. She stayed only in her house not healthy because you can't exercise
your body, can't smell fresh air. And no one else is caring for you because your alone.

5. Why also Homer died ? Does Emily and Homer died in same time? I think Homer died early before Emily,
beacause its the time of funeral of Emily when they found the remaining bones of Homer. I think Homer died
because she was killed by Emily because she can't be loved back.
