Long Answer

1. Christopher knows he is intelligent, and he likes computers, machines, and outer space so much that he thinks being surrounded by them would prevent homesickness. He feels calm when he is in small places, and he likes to imagine that no one is near him for thousands of miles. (Chapter 83)

2. Christopher notices that the orangutan is lying in a hammock made from stripy green pajama bottoms, and a notice next to the cage says the orangutan made the hammock itself. Christopher apparently admires the orangutan’s resourcefulness. (Chapter 137)
