What Makes a Home a Home?

A home and a house are two very different things, a home has memories; maybe to you that means a funny dinner conversation. But maybe for me it's playing a game with my family or going on a family walk. Either way that is what makes a home people, love, comfort, and feeling safe. That's what I think a home is. What do you think a home is? Where a house for me is just some walls, bricks, a dusty old floor, a house in my opinion is just a building. It does not have what a home has; no love, no comfort, and no feeling safe, just a plain old building! What is a house to you? Even though they, in theory, mean the same thing they are very different. One has a deeper meaning and one doesn't. Maybe you think that they mean the same thing, if you do you should look down deeper because I don't think they do! After reading my essay I want to ask you, are a home and a house the same thing to you?
