Meaning of Home

When someone says home the first thing I think is a place where you live with your family .Home to me means comfort, for example after a long day of school I go to my house, I sit on the couch eating cookies or another delicious snack. Around the world there are very different houses, for example apartments ,duplexes, houses, skyrises, tents even cars! But all those homes have something in common: there is always love and hope. Other people can’t afford buying a house or in some homes there is abuse or in others they live not knowing if bombs will fall from the sky onto their homes. I think all good houses need siblings, because if you don’t have siblings you no one to talk or somebody to play with. Sometimes I got angry with my brothers but after two hours without them, I got bored. Later I ‘ll try to play a game of chess with them so we can talk to each other again. Also to me home means equipment because there I have books, my Xbox (it’s where I play videogames)my bed the TV etc. To me, home is happiness. If I could have the best house but not be happy I’d rather have a very tiny house but be happy. I like my house but some kids don’t like their houses. Some of those kids have drug addicted parents, who are always mad at them and they are too shy to tell someone. But the ones who tell someone they go to an orphanage a big place that it’s to a lot of people their home .But, as I said before there is always love and hope. So we all always need to say thanks for the home we have.
