Many things happened in this section of the reading. The major things that occurred throughout these pages were that someone tried killing Bran but Catelyn was there and got in the way. The direwolf saved Catelyn and Bran by killing the unknown man. Another big turn of events happens when the King and Starks are on there way to the South. Arya is seen by the Prince and Sansa fake sword fighting with one of the kids. She ends up getting into a confrontation with Jofrey and the direwolf defends her hurting Jofrey. We also find out later that Bran is alive and wakes up from his injury. I think this chapter foreshadows that there is going to be a major war involving the Starks/Winterfell. I feel like the book enters into the discussion of a lot people with honor normally succeeding. This comes up with Jon. He is a bastard child but has a lot of courage and personal strength. I think this can lead us to predict that the Starks/Winterfell will stand their ground if a war does break out because they are a kingdom of "good people" with strong courage. I also foreshadow that Arya will play a big role in the war considering she is starting to get taught how to better use her sword. The author also uses the "winter" and "cold" a lot to describe things that are bad. I think at the end of Bran's chapter when the crow says "winter is coming" foreshadows that there is going to be something bad or unpleasant coming to affect them real soon.
Questions for discussion:
-The King seems to be a much better person than the Lannisters even though he is always angry. How do you think this will play out later in the book? Or has it already come out in the arguments about what happened with Arya and Jofrey?
-How has "winter" been symbolized throughout the book to be a representation for bad things? Why do you think the author uses this to hint at danger coming?
