the feeling of home
Camron 2022-04-19 09:01:05
It really touched me a bit. When a person spends a long time outside, he always thinks of his parents and home. That warm feeling of having family by my side is far from me. Do not speak of independence lightly, or that it is an isolation. Don't think that your parents are nagging, that is the care that others don't bother to pay attention to. However, many things are difficult to understand without personal experience. When I realize it, I find that I have lost a lot. Like Charlie, it takes decades to understand the meaning of home, at least not in time. But he finally got it. But how many self-righteous people are still there... I used to be, but not anymore. Going home for the New Year this year.

Charlie Bucket: Did you get your job back?
Grandpa Joe: No. No one did.
Charlie Bucket: But there must be people working there.
Grandma Josephine: Think about it, Charlie. Have you ever seen a single person going into that factory? Or coming out of it?
Charlie Bucket: No. The gates are always closed.
Grandpa Joe: Exactly.
Charlie Bucket: But then, who's running the machines?
Mrs. Bucket: Nobody knows, Charlie.
