Home is defined as the place in which one lives or resides, usually with those they love. However in Thomas Kings “Borders” a family is kept from their home and loved ones because of a difference in opinion of what defines a home.

Cecily says to Skip “...home is where your winter coat is”. Well for starters your home isn't necessarily your house. Home is somewhere you feel safe and comfortable. You may feel this safety in your winter coat or you may feel comfortable. It does not literally mean wherever your winter coat is your house. Home does not have to be a place just somewhere you feel safe-your winter coat perhaps.…
The home is the single most significant environmental factor in enabling children to develop the trust, attitude and skills that will help them to learn and engage positively with the world – a process that starts at birth, if not before.

While reading Anna Quindlen’s “Homeless” we are faced with the difficult question: Is a home everything? Quindlen has come to the conclusion, that yes your home is everything, and I cannot help but to agree with her. There is an understanding that there is a difference between a house and home. Whereas the building you are living in is referred to your house, your home is the compassion and comfort you feel in that house with your family and friends. Quindlen states that in your home you have, “certainty, stability, predictability, privacy” (Quindlen par. 4). Although there are downsides to owning a house, there is comfort and familiarity in one’s home because of the ability to have somewhere private to withdraw and family that helps raise…

It isn't tangible, it’s a feeling of safety and serenity. Home is somewhere that is always with them, no matter what. It's where they can drive three hours to see one half of the family, and then fly to the other side of the country to see the other half. It's where they gather with friends on the weekend to share stories over ice cream. For Melanie, home is the feeling when all her family comes together for holidays and reunions. Her home is family and friends . Her friends are always there when she needs them and vice versa. Living in Nebraska for 18 years, her friends have become family to her. They are all she has ever known. For Sydney, home is where ever her parents are. Always moving or being separated has made calling a place "home" hard, but by being around her parents, she has realized that if she is surrounded by their love she is always…

The purpose of owning a house in the modern age is mostly associated with the idea that we have to settle down with a family of our own. The truth behind the ideology is that homes have been essential to primitive human survival; it has never been about family. Without shelter, our bodies would be exposed to the natural climate and other dangers which could result in sickness such as hypothermia. In shorter terms a house was originally used as a defense method that would combat natural threats. (Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia, 2016) However having a home does not necessarily guarantee that you won’t become sick. Sometimes, the problem is on the inside.…
Home isn’t always a place you go every day, where you eat and sleep, it’s somewhere that feels good no matter what, it feels like when you go there nothing bad can happen. For me the PAC Cheerleading gym is my home. Since the day I joined just being there has felt amazing. I joined the gym in 2010 when I was a freshman in high school. I was very shy and did not talk much, especially at school, but when I was at the gym I turned into a new person. I started to really come out of my shell and was more confident, I had always enjoyed cheerleading practice but as time went on my passion increased.…
