The Meaning of Home in a Story

Once upon a time on January 30th 1999 there were 2 brothers by the name of Jack and Jackson. Jack and Jackson went on a journey from Alaska to New York To meet their family, but this journey won't be a normal journey. Already the trip was weird when they were packing their stuff for the trip as Jack wanted to bring his authentic Japanese butter knife to the trip. Jackson told him that it will be too dangerous since they are staying with a family of 4 and we don't want them to think we are obsessed with knives. “WHY, LET ME BRING IT” Jack said angrily after he said that Jackson let him take his Japanese butter knife. Just to let you know that the family of 4 has a child that is 4 years old. The journey officially started when they began driving toward the Canadian border. Hour 1: they had finally made it to the Canadian border and it only took them 2 minutes at the border crossing but there is one problem. Jackson forgot his passport. ¨ARE YOU KIDDING ME¨ Jack said ferociously ¨Listen I'll go get my passport and you wait here for me¨ said Jackson. Jackson started his car driving back home to get his passport. Hour 2: Jackson made it home and opened things left and right to find his passport until he had found it but when he found his passport he had also found Jack´s diary. After reading it, Jackson cried and ran back to the car. Hour 3: Jackson made it back to the border and Jack and Jackson crossed it with no issues but then Jackson stopped the car. Jack looked at Jackson confused as Jackson asked, ¨Why are you leaving your brother to live with our parents¨? Jackson said, Jack was about to say something but Jackson interrupted him ¨ẄHAT DO YOU THINK THE MEANING OF HOME IS¨. “Well I believe it's about family over having more memories with your brother” said Jack. Soon it turned silent and they both did not say anything for hours. Hour 6: they had made it to an air bnb that they booked to stay for the night, however they are staying with a family of 4. The family of 4 had 2 kids one of them is 17 years old while the other one is 4 years old. When they made it to the home the family of 4 were at the house placing everything that they needed in their rooms. Jack and Jackson introduce themselves, they soon figure out that the dad of the family of 4 was their old high school teacher who was named Albert. In high school Albert always yelled at them sometimes for no reason. They decided to go straight to sleep and leave tomorrow.
