A House Doesn't Have What a Home Does

A house and a home are very different. One may have walls that can stand tall but A home is special. I’m talking about what home and a house means to me. The first thing home means is safety: During tough times like when you get bullied at school once you get home you feel like you are safe and they can’t get you. A house has walls that can protect you physically but not emotionally. A thing a house is and what a home isn’t as physically strong: like someone tries to destroy your house but ends up hurting themselves. If a person can't damage a house then they can’t damage a home. However, something a house and home have in common is that it is a safe place. A house is strong and steady and can withstand a lot of damage meanwhile a home can make a safe place. What I mean by a safe place items inside that make it a home for example a pet. Another thing a home is memory. Imagine after a long day of school/work you walk into your warm home and then memories you made in that home start coming back to you and make you feel happy. You could only spend a week in there feels like a whole life.
