Reading Passage: 'The Emigrée'

There once was a city, vibrant and alive, where the streets echoed with the sounds of sports—players running, balls bouncing, crowds cheering. The city’s spirit was unbreakable, shining like the bright lights of a stadium at night. Even as exile cast its shadow, the memory of the games and victories remained. The poet reflects on her homeland, recalling its vitality and resilience, like a team refusing to give up in the final moments of a game. She speaks of a city that is her 'bright, filled with sunlight,' a place she still sees in her mind’s eye, untainted by the darkness that overtook it. Her words evoke a sense of longing, strength, and hope, woven through vivid imagery and emotional tone, much like the unpredictable thrill of a match that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.
