Guterson mentions how boulevards in Green Valley are lined with developments and golf courses, in my home town our main road is lined with stores and very houses or developments and we have one golf course.
He also mentions how houses appear very similar, in my hometown there are a couple or neighborhood which appear similar but for the most part houses are very different depending on the likes of the owner, houses are more spread out so they have no connection with another house.
He also mentions boxy glass buildings, there is only one building in my hometown that looks like this.
He talks about Porshes and BMWs making their way to a swimming pool, in Lebanon your more likely to find dodges and fords, on the way to the lake.
Guterson says Green Valley has rich neighborhoods with gates and security, I am pretty sure Lebanon has no such neighborhood.
I also found it interesting that the people in the story did not want their real identitys mentioned, in my hometown, people would have found out all about the actions of people whether or not they wanted them to.

My Home:
Memories;
1.This is not a certain memory but more of a collection of memories, during the summer in my hometown as high school students we had nothing to do so we would all meet up at Kmart parking lot or the square and everyone would hang out until being run off by the cops
2. Another place i had a lot of memories is Chase's grandfathers parking lot, many nights we would drive back there and hang out.
3. Brandon Johnsons barn brings back many memories, it was the first place i learned how to drink and party, and we never stopped.
4. The Barton Creek boat ramp on coles ferry was another hang out spot that I spent much of time at, fishing, drinking, just hangin out, it didn't matter I did it all there.
5. I love my hometown, I know half the people in town and cannot drive down a road without passing five people I know, it truly feels like home.

2. One memory- One night me and a few buddies were camping out on my friends land. It was freshman year and we were just starting to experiment with drinking. My friends land happened to back up to the property of the private school we happened to be attending at the time. None of us cared much from the school. So we hung out at the campfire for a little while the ran through the woods and jumped a barbed wire fence till we were on the property of the private school. Once on the property we found a golf cart on the school property and it had the key still in it. We took the golf cart and did donuts on the soccer field. After that we broke into the baseball hitting facility and hit some balls and set off the fire extinguisher. Once we turned the fire extinguisher on we couldn't manage to shut it off and we filled up the whole place in smoke. We took off and ran back to our campsite.
