Answer 2

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 didn't lose hime home when he lost his house. When he received love,support and concern from everyone around him he realised that  after the fire tragedy his house had grown even stronger. He had lost his House but the Home was still there.
