Justify the title of the story ' A house is not a home ' . In 100 -120 words.
Answers
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.
Only if happiness, warmth and comfort are present in a house we can call it home. The house of the narrator, a teenage boy, get burned down and the family moves into another accommodation. There is a great sense of loss to the boy. He also loses his pet cat which he loved so much. So the boy feels the loss of his home. But things change and he becomes happy again. He gets back his lost things and also his lovely cat. He again gets back his home. So the title is justified.
