Zech is the second generation of the MacIvey's and is Tobias' son. He is the father of Solomon and Toby Cypress. He grew up riding horses and became very experienced with guns. He was taught by his father how to live off the land and survive.
How does the character relate to their environment and the natural world?
Zech has a very close relationship with the environment because that is how his family survived and how he was raised. They grew up herding cattle across the state of Florida.Herding their cattle across the challenging swamps of Florida was what he was used to. He had a close relationship with his two dogs and his horses.Their family also needed to rely on the land to grow their oranges.
Where does the character feel a sense of place (to what place do they feel an emotional attachment) and why?
Zech feels a sense of place the most riding Ishmael, his horse. He feels a natural comfort and is naturally skilled at ridding his horse. His sense of place is in the open plains of Florida. He is used to being outdoors herding cattle and being in the scrubs of Florida. Riding his horse comes easy to him and he feels a sense of comfort.
What legacy did the character leave behind for the next generation?
The legacy Zech leaves behind is a hard work ethic. He understands the amount of effort and work it takes to raise a family. He also leaves behind a care for the environment. He understands how important the environment is and how it needs to be respected. He is one of the last ones to understand the importance of the land. His son Solomon does not understand the respect for land as much as Zech and his father Tobias had.

Why did you select this character and how do you relate to them?
I selected this character because he grew up first understanding how important the environment is to be respected. As he gets older the respect for land changes to who owns it and how is it going to benefit the future. He sees how the world is changing. I can relate because our generation is different and changing because of the influence of technology now.
