After finding the watches they reflect on the house and the experience which instilled a sense of curiosity on what else the house may be hiding. It had brought the family closer together!

Song That Embodies The Narrative

I chose the song we are Family by Sister Sledge due to the lyrics like "We are family Get up everybody and sing". At the end of the story, the family becomes closer together and reflects on the experience. They also reflect on the older generation of their family.
