This link corresponds to the book "Peak" because he lived in New York City. A big part of the book was in the begging when Peak climbed the Woolworth Building. Before attempting the climb, Peak would scope out the building for weeks so he knew which side was the easiest to climb. This website represents Peak's former life in New York City.

This link, to a juvenile detention center, is significant to the book because after being caught by the police, Peak went a detention center. He absolutely hated it. Every second. He described it as lonely, and unfriendly.
