Home and stuuuuufffffff

This week in english we read a short story called On Going Home, and in response to that story we had to write our own version of On Going Home. This, however, was not enough work to do, so Mr. Yee made us read someone else’s story about going home, and then he made us write a blog post about the other person’s story. So here I go. I read Ella’s reflection, rather than reading one of the idiots’ reflections because I did not want to write a blog post about a blank page or Connor’s netflix in bed story. Ella described home as many different places where she feels happy and surrounded by people who care about her. Some of the places that she describes as places that she might consider home are her grandparent’s home in Alabama, Roll Tide, her birthplace of texas, and california where she lived for 8 years. Ella’s definition of home is very similar to mine, because I described home as a place where you are surrounded by people who love you, and a place that makes you happy. The difference between our two reflections is that she talks about many different places being home, where I discuss how I feel as though my home is one place. I do find it interesting that she also mentions Alabama as a place that she considers home because the place that I consider to be my home is Alabama. It’s funny how different people’s homes are from one another, but the things that make it home to them are exactly the same. Home is just a place where you feel comfortable with the people and things that are surrounding you. Ella and I had a nice conversation about home, and how much people love their homes. She laughed when I mentioned that I don't really like my “home” in DC because I feel like it is too crowded and that there are too many tourists during the summer. We then wondered what the tourists that visit DC call home. Did they live in New york, California, Nevada, New mexico, Kentucky, or Massachusetts? Or did they live in another state such as Connecticut, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Or were they from the beautiful Hawaii which is located in the pacific ocean. It truly is a fascinating thing to think about where a certain individual is from. It's usually hard to tell unless the person who you are guessing about speaks another language. Then it is either really easy or really hard to determine, and could get a little racist in the process. But that is not what this blog is about, this blog is about me talking about ella talking about her definition of home. Based on the things that Ella said, I can come to the conclusion that home is a very important place to her and that she has some sort of a connection to Alabama. This is Trice Crawford saying good bye.
