In her essay "Homeless", Anna Quindlen writes that she means to have a house for her and that with the purpose of making us understand how the lives of homeless people are.

Quindlen says several times that for her to have a home means a place of stability, privacy and security. It also expresses the feeling of knowing that you will get back when you get home.

“Homeless” written by Anna Quindlen, is about how people choose to be homeless instead of going to shelters and finding homes to live in. People wonder why those who don’t have homes would rather sleep sitting up on benches or huddled in door ways instead of going to shelters. Some do because they are emotionally ill, because "they have been locked in before and they are damned if they will be locked in again." Some are afraid of the violence and trouble they may find there. But some of them want things that are not available to them in shelters and they don’t want to compromise, not even for food or a shower.

Society defines home as “a house, apartment, or other shelter. It is the usual residence of a person, family, or household” (“Home”). On the other hand, in The Glass Castle, Jeannette’s definition of home suggests that it’s a place for friends, comfort, love, happiness, and financial security. Perhaps home is a complicated topic that can be interpreted in many different ways. The Glass Castle clearly describes the pessimistic attributes of home.

As time goes on, the rate of homelessness rises as the population rises. Homelessness then was mostly caused by a family’s history of being homeless, drug abuse, mental disorders, and tyrannical leaders forcing his people into poverty. In modern times, several organizations are now trying to end homelessness by building cheaper housing projects more affordable to the poor and homeless shelters; these projects usually cost a fair amount of money.

My home was among a dozen of my family's homes. As my mother always told me growing up, "blood is thicker than water.

Home is not just a building where we sleep, shower and eat. Home is a place where we are happy to be everyday again. We share our home with the rest of the family whose members, we love and they make the place much more meaningful to us. They make us feel in this place safe, comfortable and happy. We look forward everyday

Frequently, we just pass by people and look down on them since they have no home; but who is to say they don’t have a home? Home is not the house you live in or the country you belong to. It is a place that incites certain feelings and those feeling are what makes a place home. The people on the streets with no “home” may simply find that anywhere in the world is where they call home. Home has two specific set of values that make it more than just a place which are privacy, and safety.

The issue of homelessness in America has been evident since the early 1600’s. Across the country men, women and children spend their nights on the streets not knowing when or if they will ever find a permanent home. States and federal officials or city councils have tried to alleviate or at least reduce the number of homeless over the last several decades at a city, state or national level but it continues to be an ongoing problem. There is a multitude of factors that account for the growing homeless population that affects each state in the country differently. Though there are many contributing factors that contribute to the amount of people living on the street at any given night in the U.S.

Therefore owning a house serve as a store of value and possible equity growth which is as a result of price increases. Owning a home gives you the ability to make choice in any lifestyle that you consider suitable which is far different from renting a house that the landlord may restrict you from certain lifestyles.

As part of human nature, owning a home give that pride and satisfaction of ownership which cannot be found while renting a home. Another great advantage of owning a house is tax deduction for mortgage interest which is not available for those renting a house.

Home is My Life Burden Home. An alternative life kept from the outside world. Behind closed doors, it can be filled with tension but others may see happiness. Life outside my home is my escape from the anxiety that’s built from within the walls of what is called my home. But now, it’s not fully a family with just me and my mother.

The definition of “home” is different for many people. Some people have no place to call home. A home is a place of stability in your life. Dana the character in the novel “Kindred” by Octavia Butler gets to know two homes of hers in which later she would become more custom to.

So even if the woman in Walnut Creek didn't have a photo of her house in her bag, she would have had other things she could have told me about her past if I had bothered to ask her rather than interrogate her. I needed to remember that while her situation is different from mine, she's a vulnerable human like me. Thinking that Quindlen's essay was about how the homeless need a place to live like anyone else, an argument with which I now agree, the point could also be made that a unique home where one can paint a room blue or red or black is just one of many things we should provide the homeless. But certainly we can only know what the homeless need if we understand them not as "nouns" but as unique people with memories and aspirations.
