BLOG 8 – choose a word from today’s discussion and compose an essay in which you fully analyze the connotations of the word. Make sure you provide personal readings, observations or experiences as concrete details.
A house, by definition, is a building in which something is sheltered or located. Built upon cement foundations, wood makes up their bones, and drywall creates skin. Other than that, houses have no emotional appeal. They are viewed as a place to live. Places to add things to, and create a magical place, that is all your own. Houses begin their lives barren, empty, lonely, and end their lives as homes.
A home is defined as a residence of a person, family, or household. A place most people describe as where their heart it. When imagining a home, think of families sitting around a large, oak table sharing stories and food, or friends gathered around the TV, chowing down on messy hot wings for Superbowl Sunday. A home is a house that is loved.
A house becomes a home after many generations of family have passed through its doors, after dogs have peed on it's carpet, and after love has pulsed through its beams. There really is no difference between a house or a home, a home is just a lived in, and respected house. A house becomes a home when anyone person can walk through the front door, travel down its hallways and feel absolutey and incandesantly at home.
