My Side Of The Mountain (Chapter 1)

1.) Where is Sam Gribley living and what kind of home does he have?

He is living in a mountain in a tree.

2.) What time of the year is it, and how is the weather?

It's December there and everyone knows that in December is the month when snow starts to come so, there was a snow storm and it snowed for two days there.

3.) Why is Sam Gribley, the narrator living here?

Because he's trying to get to his great-grandfather's land, and he's the narrator because he' s telling how he is going to find his way to get there. To prove his family wrong.

4.) Who are Sam's two best friends?

Well, in this chapter I'm guessing one of his best friends is The Baron Weasel, he's a weasel who lives behind this big boulder to the north of Sam's tree. His other friend is his falcon he trained it so I suppose he won't hurt him.

5.) How long has Sam been living here?

Well, it I don't think anyone would really know the correct answer to that question, since it doesn't say when he left in May but about 5 months he left from New York to live in his great grandfather's mountain.

6.) The first part of the snowstorm is written when the storm was taking place in December. When was the last part about the snowstorm written?

It was written in Summer or Spring.

7.) Why did Sam get so scared before the storm?

He'd thought that he was never going to get out of his tree, he was going to be stuck until Spring.

8.) Why was this land called Gribley's folly?

Because they have their family's name carved in a bord that says Gribley folly. And because his great-grandfather owned Catskill Mountains and he had a home and everything he wanted, until he realized that he wanted to be a sailor.
