Answers
“A house is not a home” this title means that a house is made up of walls and bricks but a home is made up of love, relationship and feelings.
The author is a teenager who explains that when there was fire, the house lit up in flame and everything got destroyed.
But the author had a mother, a cat and his friends who were his companions and shared love.
So the title is justified because the feelings that are in the house will not burn.
Name of the chapter - 'A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME'

The title 'A house is not a home' is apt in relation to the story. In the story, the author's house gets completely destroyed in a fire. Due to this, he and his mother had to take refuge at his grandparents' home and later in a rented an apartment. The places where the author lived after the fire incident cannot be called a home. A home is a place where one gets comfort, coziness and the joy of longing. One can find true happiness and comfort within the premises of home. On the other hand, a house is without these sentiments and emotions. House is just a confined place made-up of the four walls. It can never be matched to a home.
There were merely places where he took shelter. Home is where one has comfort, security, and freedom of doing whatever one wishes to. Moreover, these places were without the belongings and things which the author loved.
As one has a sense of belonging to his home, it cannot be fulfilled by a place where one takes temporary shelter. Hence, the title of the story 'A House is Not a Home' is justified.
