Daenerys 798-807

In this chapter it was about the funeral preparations for Khal Drogo's funeral and Daenery's plan to try to have the dragon eggs hatch. With this they build a pyre and get both Khal Drogo and Daenery's ready for the funeral so Khal Drogo can forever ride into the sunset so they looked for the brightest star to try and start the ceremony. They see a red comet flying high above in the stars, the Dragons tail. So when they see that they have both all cleaned up and smelling all nice while the "witch" was tied up to the pyre too along with Khal Drogo laying on top with some of his personal belongings and some items to make him more comfortable in the afterlife. While everything is burning she  walks into the fire as the witch is screaming and singing and the eggs start to hatch. Daenery's emerges from the ash and has her dragons are around her and everyone starts to kneel and say "blood of our blood".

This chapter is especially important due to the fact that there are dragons now in the freaking world! Also, it shows that there is still power to be held by Daenerys that there was not before that she can can start to raise an army and claim her rightful throne. This may come into the factor when the fight is brought over to westros if Daenerys can overtake the armies and be the rightful queen.


Daenerys
In this chapter Dani prepares a funeral for her lost love Drogo, the ceremony consist of a huge fire, a warriors way to pass on before she lights the fire she placed the three dragon eggs in the fire. She freed her slaves and told them the have no obligations to fulfill to her anymore. She tells them she doesn't plan to kill her self because fire can not hurt the true dragons blood. She lights it on fire and walks in to the flames. After the flames burned out, she emerges from the ashes with three baby dragons at her side.
This is a huge part of the story because although Dani lost her army she now has three dragons, just one dragon is worth an entire army by it's self. Also with the dragons comes massive respect, not to mention dragons played a huge part in her ancestors rise to power many years before her. She almost has everything she need to take her thrown back.

Daenerys

Daenerys is preparing a funeral for Drogo, when she ask her slave/servants to still fallow by her side. She ask three to be her bloodriders. They tell her they cannot serve a woman in that position. Only one person will take that oath to protect Daenerys and that was Jorah. This chapter was really important to show the power roles of gender and how it truly was harder for a woman to be a higher power in the medieval era. The most important part of this chapter was when she walked out of the flames with the dragons and then everyone wanted to sever her. Was pretty impressive! 

Eddard

Ned is this chapter has been accused and committed of treason and which he is sent to the Red Keep dungeon. During Ned’s time alone is this cell, all he can think about is him being the reasoning for all his men dying and for the danger that his family is now under, and is almost sick because he can’t do anything to help them. While ned is in the dungeon Varys comes to visit him to give him the scoop of whats going on, and she ends with telling him the two options he has. He can commit to what he has thought all along and stand up to the king and express his feeling of how Joff shouldn’t be king which is very risky, especially for where he is at the moment. Or he could commit to something he didn’t do and hope that the punishment isn’t death. But if he does this , his family may be safe. This chapter is huge for the book, with leaving everyone guessing what ned is going to do.

Jons Chapter 773

In this chapter Jon decides to run away but his friends from the wall convince him to come back. Then him and Mormont talk and he tells Jon that he wants Jon to go with him beyond the wall.

This is an important chapter because it one shows how much Jon is torn between family and his duty at the wall. He wants to help both but he can't. Also when Mormont says that he knew Jon was going to leave it showed that Jon doesn't know everything is going on and that even though Mormont is old, he is very much aware of what is going on. Also since they're going past the wall its a good thing for Jon since that's what he wanted to do all along. I think this part is especially important because Mormont says he wants both Jon and his dire wolf which makes me feel like they are going to be crucial to the story later on, by seeing things in a different way, especially the direwolf.

Daenerys

Drogo becomes sick from the wound he received from the fight. The next day they are riding to their next destination, but Drogo falls off of his horse. Daenerys insist that the people stop for a while so Drogo can recover. Jorah steps in and tells Daenerys that the only reason they followed Drogo was because he was strong, but now he isn't. He then states that a khal who cannot ride a horse cannot lead. Jorah suggest that Daenerys should leave; however, she insist otherwise and asks Mirri to use blood magic in the hope to heal Drogo. Mirri agrees, but has Drogo's horse killed in the tent with them in order for the magic to work. While this is going on, Daenerys goes into labor and Jorah and Daenerys's servants try to fight Drogo's bloodriders in order to stop Mirri. Many of the people leave the group while the fight is happening, and Jorah carries Daenerys into the tent so that Mirri could possibly help. I find this chapter very interesting because it shows how a person's loyalty to a group can suddenly change when they feel scared or concerned with their choices. Many of the people left the group because Drogo died and people started to fight. This made me wonder what will happen to Daenerys and to the many people that were part of the group. 

Daenerys 703-715

         In this chapter Daenerys and Drogo are riding horse back, she notices that he is still in a great amount of pain from the wound on his chest. She goes to swat away the flies that are all over him and he falls from his horse. Daenerys quickly gets off of her horse to go to his side, she notices that he is extremely hot to the touch. She orders to stop the travel and camp here for the night due to her husbands illness. They say that when a man falls from a horse he can no longer rule. They place Khal Drogo into a bath and the water turns red from his bleeding wound. This makes her very nervous. She orders for Qotho to go and find Mirri Maz Duur and bring her to him, she is the woman who made the wrap out of mud to heal his wound. Eventually a fight breaks out when Qotho goes to kill Mirri who had Drogos horse killed so that she could use the blood of the horse, which is put into the batgh with him, to do a spell on him that she said would save him. Qotho's arm is pretty much cut off and Daenerys gets her shoulder cut and she also begins to go into labor. Ser Jorah, who is also injurer during the fight goes and picks her up and carries her into the tent, where Mirri told her that nobody should enter while doing this spell because it brings back many things from the dead.
        I believe this chapter is very important, pretty much it'll lead to life or death for Daenerys, her child and Drogo. Ser Jorah told her that once the Khal is dead she is nothing and that they will take the baby from her breast and give him to the dogs. Either Drogo will live and be able to carry on or he will die and Ser Jorah and Daenerys along with the baby must escape to remain alive.
