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.

Daenerys (798-807)
Deaneries instructs the rest of Drogo's men to build a proper burial site for Drogo. They piled logs to make a platform and placed Drogo on the platform, surrounding him with all of his favorite things (including his horse). Dany placed her three dragon eggs around Drogo, and they staked Mirri Maz Duur to the "burial" platform. When the time came and they had seen the first star in the sky (which happened to be a blood red comet, that Dany took as a good sign) they set the platform on fire. After everything had set flame, Deaneries entered into the flames. Although her hair and all her clothing burned, Dany (blood of the dragon) remained unscathed and had three suckling baby dragons and the respect of the remnants of the Khalasar. Drogo's blood riders pledged their allegiance to Dany, along with Jorah Mormont. The chapter closed describing the music of the dragons.
Although Dany had lost her husband and son, She gained the support of a Khalasar and found herself still becoming a mother... To dragons!!! The possibilities are endless with this twist in the story. From the names of the other books in the series I'm sure Dany remains a prominent character in The Game of Thrones series. I think Dany will continue to grow on a maturity level, as she sees herself as finally becoming a woman. Throughout the entire book we see her go through a transformation unlike any other character. Instead of allowing the circumstances surrounding her to turn her bitter she lets them empower her. I think that's why she's has remained my favorite character in the book since the beginning. Her bravery is uncanny. She literally walked into a fire, not knowing what would happen, but being brave enough to try. In the other books I think more and more people will follow her, and love her. She seems to just have that sort of effect on people. Especially people who you'd least expect it from (like Jorah, Drogo, or even the blood riders). I think that'll play into her favor. I'm really excited to read the other books, mainly because of Daeneries!

Brans chapter 729
In this chapter it starts out by Maester Luwin coming into Bran's chamber. Bran then tells him about a dream with Bran talking to his dad down in the crypts. So they go down there and end up finding Rikkon down there as well. So they all go back to Maester Luwin's chamber where Rikkon and Bran describe having the same dream. Maester Luwin then tells them the history of their people starting way back. Then a crow comes with news of their fathers death.
I feel that this chapter is very important because it goes more into the magical part of the book which has to do with the Children of the Forest and such. I think that Rikkon and Bran have a special part in the story and will somehow be involved with the Children of the Forest. This part of the book kind of brings up supernatural forces which not all people today believe in just as in the book shown by Maester Luwin's skepticism.

Eddard XV
Ned is still sitting in his urine oder cell, which is dark all day due to not having any windows. He is starting to have trouble keeping himself busy and starts to back track on his life and sees a lot of things that happened. The time passes slow so he thinks of war strategies to himself outlined. Varys comes to visit Ned in his cell and brings news of Arya escape and other information. Ned blames Varys for the guards that got killed as he stood there and watched it happen.
This chapter still show loyalty and deep roots of friend ship. I see Ned coming to forgiveness and getting out of jail with his life. (and all limbs) Ned keeps see war in his mind so i think the biggest battle we have seen so fair in this book.
