No Place Like Home

Green Valley is as much a noun as it is a verb because it is unique in the way that it operates. All of the housing developments have standards that have to be met. All of the residents are required to be a part of the Neighborhood Watch program. The buildings also have to be close to identical. Many of the houses have the exact same floor plan.

Guterson's Tone is by far, Informative. He explains every detail of the neighborhoods that were in Green Valley. But he doesn't stop there, he also tells about cities all over the US that are developing the same as Green Valley. Another thing that he does, is on certain pieces of information that he gives, he adds one thing about it in parenthetical notation.

I think that communities like this aren't really that satisfying. Back home in Kingsport, there was a neighborhood that had both middle and wealthy class of people that lived there. They also had the neighborhood watch program which made the neighborhood safe. By having both classes together, it makes people have a better attitude with each other.

5 things that reminds me of my first home

• Playing in the Field next to my old house
• Riding/Walking around the block
• Snow, even though we rarely got any to do anything with it
• Riding Bikes in the church parking lot
• Running away from the dogs across the street

That old field was great. I did a lot of stuff out there. From running through sprinklers to shooting off model rockets (and sadly watching them crash when the parachute doesn't deploy). I first started riding a bike out there, even though it was hard to do. As I got older, it turned into a practice driving range. And if weather permitted, I could set up a great paintball course on it.
