Pg 172 Seeing # 1&2

1. Wherever heart is, that is usually home, for those who have deep roots in a certain place, that feeling is even greater. Movement and progression is wonderful, yet to truly be able to claim that you are from some where is another thing. It's things like the family that's had the house in their family for 100 years, or someone who has gone through disaster in an area but they kept their family there because they are just used to being there. You could probably even ask Hurricane Katrina victims, "why didn't you move out?", and they'd probably respond with something along the lines of the fact they didn't want to abandon their home.

2. I feel like the tone of the paper touches more on making your home one place and staying their. Along with giving the benefits of coming from a home that has been and is deeply tied to one area, while Richard Ford makes it seem like wherever you lay your head is home. I feel more at "home" with Sanders.
