A friend in need is a friend indeed.Explain with the reference to the lesson the "house is not a home" .
Answers
Explanation:
The word ‘house’ denotes a structure made of concrete material while the word ‘home’ connotes a place where love and concern bind the people inhabiting a space. “A House is Not a Home” is an appropriate title because Zan did not lose his home when he lost his house. Zan took to heart the burning down of his house and the things like his backpack, his shoes and other belongings. When he received love, support and concern from everyone around him, he realised that the emotion which was present in his house had grown even stronger after the fire tragedy. He had lost the house but the home was still there, stronger than before. Hence, the title aptly conveys the main idea that material losses can be recovered but they cannot cause the loss of genuine emotions.
The story conveys the message that camaraderie and bonhomie are two strong factors that help build genuine relationships. Zan felt awkward, isolated and embarrassed by the changes that marked his early teenage. But when new people approached him with open arms and extended a hand of friendship, he was overwhelmed. All his worries, fears, and insecurities faded away. Helping others in need and being grateful while getting help, are the two values one should acquire. The teenagers, especially, should volunteer to make newcomers feel at home. Another message conveyed by this story is that one should not grieve over material loss. As long as one has emotional support, one can overcome any loss.
Message (2)
All of us love our home. The happiness and warmth it provides make us happy. But when a serious incident happens it throws everything out of order, and we feel very sad. This lesson gives out the message that a happy home is essential for us.
Further, it gives the message that people come forward to help us in times of difficulty. They help us to put back our life in order. The boy in this story gets help from his schoolmates who provide him with everything. Further, a lady who lives nearby helps him to get back his cat, which he loves very much. So, we should retain our faith in others. We should also be courageous to face the difficulties we face in life.
