Miranda Lambert's Song The House That Built Me

Every family event, it always ended up at my grandmother’s home. I feel as though my grandmother did an amazing job at hosting the family gatherings. She is great at keeping the family so tight. We all come together because of her, ad I hope our generations of family members will keep that alive. With that being said I cherish every moment that was held in that house, all my memories are there.

When you think of a construction site and workers do you picture harnesses and safety helmets? Despite what you think, it wasn't always like this. In the poem Song of the Builders by author Jessie Willmore Murton explains to the reader her perspective on the working conditions in the 1950’s and 60’s through her most effective strategies sarcasm and repetition.

I love that house we had so many memories in that house we group up there. I still remember my room. My room was decorated as princesses. What I love the most about my house was that my house was six blocks from my first elementary but once we move schools our house was only three block away from juanita jones elementary. When I was in 5th grade I came home one day and my parents and my neighbors had received a letter from the government saying that we had to move houses because they were going to expand the freeway so my parent started to find other houses I was sad about leaving I love that house I had so many memories. My house was next to a small liquor store call Bob's market. My sisters and i would always go to Bob's market before we went to school he would always give us free candy we still go and visit bob and his wife since our house is nearby but we don't visit as much.

I grew up in Cary and Barrington Illinois. During the summers, my family would stay at my Cary house because it was located on the Fox River. This left me when very fun memories of being with my family. Since the house I lived in was located on a river I basically lived in the water. However, the idea of going on the boat always put a smile on my face. While on the boat, we would go tubing and wakeboarding etc. This is what fueled my love of living on a river. During the winter we would live at my barrington house because we had a big yard and we could sled in it. Overall, where I grew up really got me to love being outside.

We were arriving at my new home when I realized it was right next to Eastside Elementary, my old school. I got out of the car when I saw one of my old friends across the street, waving at me. I smiled. She got invited over to the moving party, and we played outside making mud pies and riding in Wilsons miniature

I’ve spent my whole life living in that house ever since i moved from Georgia. We were the first people to ever live in that house, I even remember seeing them build the stairs in the house. I remember coloring the walls with every shade of the rainbow most the time it was either markers or crayons, but that’s what they make house paint for right? My room is one of my favorite

In 2009 my family and I moved from Chicago to Dubuque. I was 6 years old when we moved to Dubuque and it has really help me to be who I am today. My family and I packed up our bags and got on the road to Dubuque. The reason we moved to Dubuque was because of my dad's work. My dad works at Bodine Electric Company as an accountant. I would say it was a really emotional move but I was only six and I probably didn’t really care. When we got to Dubuque we checked into the Grand Harbor hotel/waterpark where my sister and I had some fun in the water, after that we looked at some houses and eventually chose the one I'm still living in today.

Every time we move it’s as if we gain or lose something.I remember moving a lot.Before our move to Davis we lived in a house an actual place we called home it had a joyful pool it was near Sherwood a well known elementary school.Before that was a apartment near Somerset Middle School that was quite cramped.There’s six of us now which means we’ve moved about six times as well.

At the age of 4 or 5 we moved down the road from my grandmother, in a nice 2 bedroom brick house, one bath, where I am currently living now. It was only my mom, dad & I living there for about 10 years, then my mom ended up getting pregnant & had another child. It caused the house to become a little cramped up as my sister got older. More

When I was four years old we moved to Oskaloosa, Iowa. It was a small town of 15,000 people and became my home for the next 5 years. My favorite memories from Iowa are fishing with my father and competing in local fishing tournaments. It was a hobby we both loved. We would wake up bright and early nearly every weekend and spend all day on the lake. Growing up in Oskaloosa also had its disadvantages. My father was the chief psychiatrist at the local hospital and was well known for his work in the area. Unfortunately, his patient population grew

The subject of countless books, movies, poems, and songs, the concept of home is a sundry mix of ideas and ideals. Discussing the image of a childhood home, Grammy Award Winner Miranda Lambert’s hit song “The House That Built Me” has a different take on country music’s love for nostalgia. Many people, specifically young adults and older, can relate to Miranda’s wish of going back to the simplicity and security of childhood, especially after experiencing troubles. This simple, yet rich message is successfully revealed with several rhetorical tools in both the lyrics and accompanying video of “House That Built Me”.

In 1986 my mother divorced my father and moved my brother and I from a small town in Pennsylvania to a small town in New Jersey. My mother chose this particular town because of its close proximity to family members. The house my mother grew up in and that my grandmother still lived in was two houses away from our new house. Also, my aunt and uncle lived about three houses away. With her new life as a single mother with two kids the convenience of it all was too hard for her to pass up.

I was born in Harlingen, Texas and I lived there for most of my childhood. We usually lived with my moms parents or in a small two story house but my mom got a job promotion working in T-Mobil at the time so we had to move to a place somewhere in Kansas. My mom had told my little brothers and me that she was going into Kansas first then she would come back and get us. We said ok and went on doing whatever things we were doing. Finally a few weeks later. My mom finally come and told us we would have one more day at school then we would start driving to Kansas. Finally after saying our goodbyes to family we set off to Kansas and it took forever but we finally made it. We had to live with our cousins at first since we had no home

I’m from a little Cape Cod house in Pottstown. There, my nursery was a sloped ceiling attic with steep steps on which my dad tended to slip. The tight spaces and single bathroom motivated my parents to move to a new location. Before I was even two years old, we moved to a brand new house in Royersford.

And I didn’t always know the struggles my family went through, but initially moving there… I was a kid! I was excited about moving into a bigger house, with a bigger bedroom. And not be in a apartment anymore.
