When Kane said his dying words, "Rosebud" he left everyone to wonder who or what Rosebud was. Even Mr. Thompson, the reporter, was trying to uncover this mystery. Going to everyone that was close to him to see what they have to say. After everyone told their stories about Kane to try to figure out what Rosebud was, they never truly found out. But it is finally revealed when we see his childhood sled being thrown into a fire pit with all of other belongings.
When we first see Kane it was in Thatcher's flashback. Kane was young and playing in the snow with his sled. He was happy with who and where he was. But soon he was going to leave with Thatcher and never return home. He didn't take anything and his sled was left. Throughout that year you also see his sled covering up in snow the more he is unhappy with Thatcher. Showing how Kane's happiness is quickly vanishing. In the same time you also see Thatcher giving Kane a new sled on Christmas day, but Kane isn't happy about it. He wants to go home with his parents and play with his sled Rosebud.
Every time Kane thinks about his childhood he thinks about his sled. He thinks about the time he was truly happy. Kane wasn't a man who had a very happy life. He was taken from his parents at a young age, moving in with a man he never liked. Kane and Thatcher always had a reason to fight. Kane upset Thatcher when he always got kicked out of school, and went into business with the Inquirer because it upset Thatcher. And when he got married he was happily in love and everyone was happy that he was happy. But soon they started fighting, which led to a divorce. Then Kane found another girl. Who walked out on him one day. And when she walked out Kane got upset and started tearing down her room but soon found a snow globe she owned and whispered "Rosebud" and immediately calmed down. I believe Kane thought of his last day at home playing in the snow with his sled when he picked up the snow globe because the globe looked like his last day at home.
