    In the short fiction story, “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, the Hadley family lives in a HappyLife home that gives them everything they need and more. However, this story is ironic because the technologic home that the parents got so they didn’t have to do anything themselves ended up leaving them not knowing how to do things on their own.

    Many people say ' Home is where the heart is ', but in this case the bunkhouse definitely is not where the heart is. The bunkhouse has a very unique atmosphere. For example, the walls are unpainted, the three walls are small, and the beds have little apple boxes for personal belongings. Though it seems when someone walks through the door a different feeling appears in the house. For example, when Curley walks in it feels as if the atmosphere is nasty and troublesome. When Curley's wife walks in it feels as if there is an inconvenience or a disturbance throughout the house. Lennie says the house feels mean and very uncomfortable. For example, when Curley came and talked to Lennie and George Lennie wanted to get out of there. George told Lenny…

    In The Things They Carried, author Tim O’Brien lists various people, places, and things that would prevent him from leaving his life in the United States. He describes “a hallucination” that is filled with an amalgam of people, from old high school buddies and cheerleaders with pompoms to Abraham Lincoln and “Jane Fonda dressed as Barbarella” (O’Brien, 58). My own list is not as diverse as O’Brien’s, primarily listing all the food that I would miss. However, both of our lists do share one thing: a representation of family. Each lineup leads with our family members.…

    “You can leave home all you want, but home will never leave you.” Sonsyrea Tate. Tate’s quote has distinct meaning depending on the individual who analyzes it. Many believe this quote to mean that a home is not a single place or object, but a concept or state of mind, which you have when you are around your family or loved ones. In the book The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck this idea of “home is where the heart is,” is shown throughout the book. One of the main characters, Ma, shows with great strength the concept of home is not a dwelling or place where you live, but a state of mind.…

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.

    “How often have I lain beneath rain on a strange roof, thinking of home.” In this quote, William Faulkner references his longing for the familiar comforts of his own home in his novel As I Lay Dying. To Faulkner, a home represents more than just a space or a private sanctuary. It represents stability, memories, security, and happiness. Home portrays multiple meanings to many people. For Charlotte Perkins Gillman, home represents happiness as well but happiness achieved through action. She refers to happiness as an attainable attribute one may work towards. “To attain happiness in another world, we need only to believe something, while to secure it in this world we must…

    In this world where image and identity play such a significant role in life it’s only natural that people fear being rejected; they urge a sense of belonging and so they conform to what is seen as correct in society. This is true for most but there are the occasional few who strive to set themselves apart from the rest and follow what they believe in. These individuals are considered to be different and because of it they are often alienated by society.

    I found that trying to find a book to read about the Vietnam War was rather difficult because there are so many of them out there. I chose Letters from Vietnam edited by Bill Adler because it was a point of view from many soldiers in the war and they were what they were truly feeling at the time. It is not one point of view when you read this many letters and a little background on each of the authors, but there are many points of views, feelings and emotions to help us better understand what they were going through emotionally and physically while overseas.…
