- 7. Before the fire, the narrator thinks of home mainly as the house he lives in, full of his familiar belongings, and he is preoccupied with feeling lonely and out of place at his new, bigger school. The fire shatters this. In the panic he tries to save his cat, which runs off in fright and is lost, and he watches his house and all his possessions burn — losing not only objects but the sense of security and identity tied to them. At first he feels devastated and emptier than ever. But then his classmates and teachers, including those he hardly knew, surprise him with kindness, donating clothes, books and supplies and offering warmth and friendship. This support makes him feel, for the first time, that he truly belongs. Through this experience the narrator comes to understand that a home is not simply a building or a collection of things, but the people who care for you and the sense of belonging they create.
