Bran 3

In Brans chapter we see he has a dream that he is falling and a crow with three eyes is showing him how to fly. Sansa keep crying at night.  Arya and Sansa are surrounded by these shadows. Bran looks at the Wall and sees the end of the world. The  crowntells Bran that winter is coming so he must learn how fly or he will die. Bran try and learns to fly by opening his arms. The crow attacks Bran he was ima comma.  Bran wakes up and notices he can't feel his legs. He also still has his wolf and decided to give her a name. I love his chapter because we start to see bran develop. Also I liked his wolf name is summer. This text kinda gave me hope because the crow was really trying to help. Over all this was a good chapter.

Catelyn (III)

I really enjoyed this chapter and the character Catelyn is by far my favorite in the book, because she really shows off how she is passionate woman about her family and how strong she can be without Ned by her side. This chapters main focus is Catelyn drawing to conclusions about Bran's fall. She knows her little boy to well to know that a talented climber as himself, would not fall, he had to have been pushed. Catelyn finally realizes and makes assumptions that it was the lannisters and she takes off to go tell Ned and handle it herself. I liked this chapter because she is my favorite character I love reading stories behind her and all of her strength to protect her family and takes matters into her own hands. Another reason why i think catelyn is such a protective mother is that there was an incident where a man comes into the castle and tries to kill Bran, and Catelyn takes a dagger and saves Bran from being murdered. I believe that after the incident is when Catelyn realized that Bran did not fall, and was pushed.

Daenerys(226)

This was a shorter chapter but basically, Daenerys and the Dothraki's are still on their journey to the Dothraki land. This chapter is from her point of view and is mostly about her feelings. She talks about mostly riding her horse during the day and how shes getting better at it and about her and Kahl Drogo at night. The two big things that stuck out at me was the dragon eggs cropped up which means they could be important later on. Also at the very end is the statement that she's pregnant at 14. To me this last part was meant to get a reaction out of people because nowadays people would say that's not a good thing. However it's not unheard of because there is some cultures that marry young and have children young. So as far as being repulsed or horrified, I think that its up to the personal opinion of people to decide that. I don't think the sex part would bother people so much because teens are starting younger and younger every year.

Bran

This post is about how brand fell from the tower. Apparently he was dreaming the whole time he was falling. All of a sudden a crow came beside him telling him he wont wake up if he hits the ground. So the crow tries to teach him how to fly but Bran doesn't believe the crow at first. As he got closer to the ground he spread his arms and began to fly. Then out of the blue the crow starts to attack him and he shorty woke up afterwards. To me Brand seems like a very innocent kid Why would he dream about something so horrible. This is one thing that caught my attention in this section of the book.

Daenerys (pg.226-236)

NIn this ten page chapter a lot happens in the life of Daenerys. The chapter starts by describing the beautiful Dathraki sea. As Khaleesi, Dany orders the whole party to stay behind so that she can explore and take in all of the sights with her silver (horse). Defiantly, her brother marches down to her, attacks her, and unsuccessfully try's to assert his dominance over Daenerys. In the midst of his attack Dathraki riders come and whip him. And as a result of his abuse and cowardice for all those years, Dany orders that his horse be taken away and that he be made to walk behind the whole traveling procession. This was the worst insult because the Dathraki believed that a man without a horse was no man at all. 
Daenerys went through a tremendous change of person in this chapter. She defies her brother for the first time. She has a personal realization that she was "blood of the dragon", however her brother was a dead dragon. 
At the end of the chapter Dany becomes very brave, and initiates sex with Drogo. She took out into the moonlight (where all things of importance are done) and they did the deed. As a result Daenerys ends up pregnant! 
This chapter is significant for three main reasons: 
1) Dany becomes pregnant.. Extending the bloodline of the Dragon. 
2) Viserys looses all dignity. 
3) Dany starts acting like a queen. 
I think Dany is becoming braver and braver and that it could result in her trying to take the throne of the 7 Kingdoms. It also seemed to me that she wanted to become pregnant, which further Leads to my assumption that she wants to become queen, since she is trying to extend her bloodline. With her brother seemingly out of the way and of little significance now, that creates one less obstacle in her way. I think Drogo is probably starting to see her take initiative and taking on the role of Khaleesi more, and is probably impressed by that and will respect her more; which could lead to him giving her his army to take back the 7 Kingdoms. 

Catelyn (III)

This chapter starts off in Winterfell with Catelyn sitting by Bran's side. Ned had left for King's Landing so Robb decided to take the castle's duties. However, Robb notices a building on fire in the distance and decides to leave and help. After Robb leaves, a man in worn out clothes but an expensive dagger enters the room and tries to assassinate Bran. Catelyn protects Bran by grabbing the dagger with her hands. After the incident, Catelyn thinks about it and realizes that Bran is a skilled climber and there is noway that he fell off the roof without being pushed off. She comes up with the conclusion that the Lannisters had pushed Bran, and she decides to ride to the King's Landing in order to warn Ned of the situation. I really enjoyed this chapter because it shows that Catelyn can be tough, and it's not just her husband that can keep their family safe. It took a lot of bravery to stop the man from killing Bran. Then she wakes up from the incident, and draws conclusions on who would do this to Bran and decides to go tell Ned. To me, this just shows her passion for her family and how strong willed she is.

Game of Thrones Chapter 17 (Bran) Summary

In this chapter, Bran is dreaming that he is falling. A crow comes alongside him and tells him that he won't wake up if he hits the ground, but he'll die. The crow says that he is teaching Bran to fly. Bran doesn't believe him at first, and they continue to fall, with the ground growing closer beneath them. The crow says that Bran must live, because winter is coming. Bran finally tries to fly and spreads his arms, and he soars upward. Then the crow starts attacking him, and Bran wakes up. This chapter is important to the story because Bran is finally awake after his fall from the tower. I chose this chapter because it shows what Bran was experiencing during his unconsciousness and what he was feeling.
