A House, A Home Summary Class 6 Chapter One Poem by Lorraine M Halli
According to the poet a house is made up with non- living things, like bricks, roof, wood and glass. It consists of doors, windows, hard materials. They will be no emotions, feelings, and mutual understandings. It is only a construction or simply a building. In other words we can say things needed for fully constructed house. There are also few other things like tile floors, plastered walls with beautiful colours, stucco and roof or many doors. These are the things which are available in our house. But all these things do not make home. Home means love and family, it means to work for the happiness for all those who lives in the house that may be father, mother, parents, brother, sister for the welfare of the family each member has to work unselfishness. We can see lots of love and mutual understandings here. The activities of the members are not at all self-cantered but also for everyone. The members of the family, they live happy and make the home beautiful. They show it by their actions that they care for each other but all these things is missing in house. Home is beautiful family which consists only living beings. In home all family members share their feelings with each other.
