Bran

          I really loved this chapter, simply because it shows what type of people are in the book. And it introduces what type of punishment is given in such situations. The part that really got me is when they came upon the direwolves, which haven’t been spotted south of the wall in over two hundred years.  This chapter touches a little bit on the treatment of women and how the wildlings take women and carry them off to be sold. But the focus on most of the chapter is to describe the type of people they are and also a little touch of how they treat animals. The children find these, at first, five puppies and pretty much beg to keep them. The father is hesitant because these animals grow up to be so called monsters, but the children beg and even say that they know of a dog that had lost pups so she would have milk for them. These children are intimidated by their farther and know to respect him, and they do it in just the right way this time, the father allows them to keep the pups. But only after Jon related the pups to his father’s (only being his father by marriage) children, three males and two girls, even including the baby. Then when they were leaving Jon heard a cry by the mother direwolve who was dead. He had found another pup who was odd from the others, it had white fur which the others had gray, almost to look as if it were a “step child” he said the pup would be his. This chapter will stick to me, simply because I am a huge animal lover, and I can just imagine these puppies and the love these boys had for them!
