To me home means safety. If home means smelling, I would be smelling the great food getting cooked. If home means looking, I would be looking at the walls protecting us from danger. If home means feeling, I would be feeling safe in my bed at night. If home means talking, I would be talking to my family at the dinner table or on the couch. If home means touching I would be touching my fork and spoon while eating dinner, lunch or breakfast. To me I think home means that you are safe from kidnappers. Without a home you would be cold and you could get animals to bite or sting you. You will also be dirty and you will get a bunch of bugs following you all day in your hair and nobody would go near you. You will have a different mood as well. You will be meaner and nobody would like you which is a bad thing. And you could live in your car but there are no showers in cars unless you get an RV van. In peterborough homeless people save up enough money and buy a tent. They store all their stuff in there and share with the other homeless people. Some people beg for money, but it is bad to beg for money. How they beg is they get a cup with cardboard and a pen and write: i need money for food on the big piece of cardboard. If they give them money they would say thank you. If you have a house you can cook food with the oven or stove and eat it at a table. You can also have a heater in your house!
