Bran III
I choose to write about Bran because there was a lot of foreshadowing. He had a dream about fall from Bran II, where a crow with three eyes is telling him to learn to fly if he wants to ever wake up. On the way down Bran see people he knows doing things in the future. I feel the book does a good job of telling us small detail like the crows third eye, I feel is symbolic for the crow can see into the future and knows that bran plays a huge role. Almost to the ground Bran learns to fly and the crow starts attacking him. Also sees the end of the world during the plummet down. These points will surely come back into play later on in the book. Very interesting to keep reading.

Dany
Dany;
In this chapter we see Dany start to develop her own identity. She still relates with her old house and the dragon, but she also is in the process of taking on her new role as Khaleesi of the Dothraki. She begins to stand up to her abusive brother Viserys, having him beaten and his horse taken away, shaming him in front of everyone. We also see Dany and Ser Jorah bonding as queen and vassal as well as Dany falling in love with her new husband, and eventually being taken with his child at the end of this chapter. This chapter is showing Dany's growth from a girl into a woman as she takes on responsibilities and carves out her own place in a hostile place where the strong thrive and the weak die.
Bran's Dream
This chapter was all about Bran and his dream! He was dreaming about how he kept falling and he kept seeing a crow that was trying to teach him how to fly correctly. Sansa is crying at night. Sansa and Arya and keep seeing shadows. Bran claims to see the end of the world when he looks at the wall. Bran is told winter is coming and he must learn how to fly or he will die. Bran didn't really learn how to fly very well even though his life was depending on it. Then the crow starts attacking him before he hits the ground. Bran then wakes up from his coma like state and comes to find that he cannot feel his legs. Bran does end up keeping the wolf. Which is an important symbol to them. Bran also decides to name the wolf summer. This chapter was interesting how it was all based off of a dream. I think this dream Bran had will eventually all make sense later on in the book. Over all it was a good chapter kept you wanting to read more to find out what happens next!
Bran 3
This chapter was rather interesting to me, the whole chapter was just one big dream about him falling in bran 2, after he was pushed out a window. It is a very vivid dream for bran because it is very descriptive and he sees a lot of people he knows, along with the end of the world. The whole time that Bran is falling the crow that he was messing with in bran two, which has three eyes in this dream was telling him that he needs to fly or die. He doesn't do so until he almost hits the ground at which that point the crow that tried to help him survive, is now attacking him. I think the chapter of bran's falling dream is interesting because i think that the author is giving out hints or clues to what we can expect later on in the book, I belive that someone close to bran, say someone he looks up to and learns from will betray him, such as the crow did when he started attacking him once he started to fly.
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.
