Imagine being in a home for over 10 years but you didn’t pay last month’s mortgage and the bank is trying to take your house. As a result you would have to live in an apartment. The short story “Home”, by Gwendolyn Brooks, teaches a person that if you work hard, good things will happen.
In the real world, if you work hard you can get a job that you can earn a living from. A quote “I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end” by Larry Bird, means that if you work your hardest things will always work out. For example, if you work hard on your homework it will pay off by getting you a good grade on it. If you get a good grade on homework it can get you a job.
I think the short story “Home” has a lot of symbolism. First it is during the summer, it takes place at noon, sunny weather, takes place on the porch. The story starts out normalcy or normal. Then there is a conflict they can’t get an extension the loan. Then the conflict is realized by papa going to the Home Owners’ Loan to try to get an extension on the loan. Then he solves the problem by getting an extension on the loan. Then their lives go back to normal. So this is why I think the story is a comedy.
Now, imagine being in a home for over 10 years but you didn’t pay last month’s mortgage and the bank is trying to take your house. As a result you would have to live in an apartment. But then your papa comes home and said they got a extension on the loan, so they get to keep their house.
