Sol experiences a strong sense of place in Chapter 1. Sol MacIvey is rolling throughout Punta Rassa and is having his driver take him through the memories of his past life and the construction that holds his family's name on it. He gets a strong sense of where he has allowed money and greed to ruin what his father and grandfather have built up for many years. He drives through certain neighborhoods, and gets a sense of familiarity with some of those places. Another sense of place is at the Seminole Village, where he had not been for decades where the people that came before him, had a solid relationship with. Sol didn't reproduce any more MacIvey's, and the legacy he left was many industrialized cities!

How do you relate to this character?

I don't relate to Sol. I wouldn't allow money or greed to ruin what my family has worked so hard to build and worked so hard for me to have the life that I have, and then end up regretting what I did to ruin what was built before me. If there was a relation between Sol it would be both of us choosing to live in a more industrialized area rather then nature.
