Chapter 4

The idea of having different perspectives is very interesting to me.  It's interesting when you think back about something from your childhood, and you have a totally different perception than you do now.  It says in the book, "When you return to a place where you spent time in your early years, like your grandmother's apartment or a childhood playground, you're probably surprised that the place seems different, maybe smaller or larger than you imagined."  This is very true for many places that I used to travel to.  

When I would go to my cousins house, when I was little, their backyard seemed huge.  They had a hammock and a forrest with a "river" (as I would call it when I was little).  We would run around and it seemed like the woods could go on forever, and that there was so much to it.  Now that I have gone back and have seen it through my older eyes, it seems so much smaller than I imagined.  The "river", was actually a creek.  The forrest did not go on forever.  It was actually a very small backyard with a little bit of woods.  It is very interesting that your perceptions on different places can change from when you were a child.
