1. How does Sam describe the June morning at the beginning of Part 1?

Sam describes the morning as hot and humid. It is so hazy that he can barely see the huge hemlock tree in which he lives. The haze has also erased all but the great tree trunks on the mountain.

2. What progression did Sam go through to get comfortable seating in his home?

Sam started with an old stump to sit on. He traded that for a three-legged stool. Then he built a comfortable lounging chair from bent saplings tied together with rope from the bark of a basswood tree.

3. Where does Sam think Alice might be in Part I?

Sam thinks that Alice could be strawberry picking, although the haze is a bit too dense for that. She could just be sitting on the porch of her tree house talking to herself just as Sam is doing.
