       For my chapter this week, I chose Catelyn's first chapter.  In this chapter, Catelyn is at Bran's bedside as he is in a coma.  Robb comes in and dismisses the servant; he tells Catelyn that she needs to help the rest of her family despite Bran's accident.  As Robb looked out the window, he saw the library tower was on fire.  As Robb went to see what was happening with the fire, an assassin appears to kill Bran.  Catelyn was there with him, so the assassin tries to kill them both, but Catelyn pulls the dagger from her throat and bites the man's hand.  Bran's direwolf comes and kills the assassin.  She realizes that the assassin had to do something with Bran's fall, and concludes that the Lannister family must be behind it.
       I chose this chapter because it has a great deal of importance throughout the story.  In Catelyn's next chapter, she is tracking down Ned, and telling him the news, so the end of her first chapter continues onto her next one.  Also, Bran's first chapter is in the perspective of a dream, so the point of view changes, not only from person to person, but in a different level of consciousness also.  In Jon's chapter, he is at the wall, but he is heavily concerned about Bran's well-being.  This shows how widely spread Bran's injury is throughout all chapters.  I like this chapter because it is one of the more fast paced chapters; that is, it holds the reader's interest better than any other chapter in this reading.
