1. I think the articles descriptions of developing a sense of place are very helpful. Reading these can really make someone think and not have to try that hard to do these 25 things.
2. I have visited Salem, basically moved to Salem, got involved with the school, done research, visited historic sites, visited well-known restaurants, brought my family here, compared it to my hometown, and met plenty of new people.
3. The article suggests very close to nature sense of place and I disagree with that because finding a sense of place in a specific area doesn't consist a lot of being close to nature. Yeah we should know stimulate our senses where we are living but most nature is the same, it is the culture we should focus on.
4. I haven't taken the time to get close to the nature part of Salem besides our visit to the park but when it is warmer I would definitely like to got there more because by that time I will need to be getting outside more.
5. I guess I am afraid to pledge to the nature of Salem because I wouldn't be able to make any promises like that. I am also unsure of what I would be able to do, like in Vermont we have Green Up Day and the whole state goes out and picks up litter but Mass doesn't have that, so I'm unsure how I would pledge to nature to make it better.
6. I have no interest in sitting in the park and doing most of these things, I'm a hunter andspend a lot of time in the woods so I know how to sit there and take in the beauty of nature and youre surroundings, so honestly if I go back to the park, I would prefer to appreciate nature the way I know how instead of "talking" to it for example.
