The Wisdom of Jon Snow Tormund, fierce warrior and leader among the Wildlings and Mance Rayder, King Beyond the Wall, were having a drink out by the fire one night and the subject of Jon Snow came up. Specifically, they started aruging about whether Jon Snow would be worthy to join the Wildlings one day or not. "Jon Snow is a good man." said Tormund. "In fact, I would say that Jon Snow would make a great leader one day, better than the current prospects we have."  "What makes you say so?" asked Mance Rayder.  "Jon Snow comes from the North but gave his life for the Night's Watch, but here he is with one of our top warriors, Ygritte, I believe he would dedicated his life to the poeple of the Wildings if given the choice. In all the stories I have heard of Jon Snow, he has always another load in addition to what he carries. Most people, on the other hand, no matter how little the load they are caring, would never be eager to take on new obligation a

Ramsey Bolton and Theon Greyjoy Everyday, Ramsey demanded his prisoner, Theon Greyjoy, go across the bridge and fetch dinner for Ramsey and his hound dogs. For over two years since his capture by the psychotic, bastard son, Ramsey Bolton, Theon had been beaten, abused and brainwashed to answer to the name of "Reek." After two years, Theon had enough, he had to find a way to get back home to his family, the Iron Islands. He put a plan together to lure Ramsey to a place no one would be able to hear him scream or come looking for him after Theon's plan was executed.    Once day, Theon finally gained the courage, he took his sweet time to get across the bridge.  When he returned, Ramsey shouted "Reek, why are you late?"  "I am sorry my lord," nervously said Theon. "I saw ghost of Robb Stark and I was frightened."  "Show me!" Ramsey commanded. "My hounds will follow as protection."  Theon took Ramsey and his hounds across the b

 1. 'The Lion and the Rabbit' https://microfables.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-rabbit-and-angry-lion.html  I like this story because it comes with a lot of questions... - Why couldn't the lion go get his food himself? Did the rabbit set him up? That's what I think is implied but it's not written out clearly in the story. If so, why now? I'm sure this isn't the first time the lion has made these demands? - This continue into another whole story about what the rabbit did next. Was it a plan he thought of himself or all the animals thought of and the rabbit was the one to execute it? If I used this as part of my story, I would use Ramsey Bolton as the lion and Theon Greyjoy as the rabbit.  2. 'The Elephant-King and the Mice'  https://microfables.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-elephant-king-and-mice.html This story is so simple but so cute. Tells a story of kindness and helping others, no matter the size.  - I wonder why the written choose and Elephant and Mice

Part 1: DONE Part 2:  Week 1- 30 Weel 2- 24 Week 3: 30  Week 4- 30 (after this post) Total: 114 (goal is 117) Part 3:  Graphic: RBG  I was so sad to hear this devastated news. It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, I hope we can all agree and respect the difference RBG has made in our society, especially for women's rights. She is an inspiration to all Carry On Video: Gurdeep Pandher of Yukon https://twitter.com/GurdeepPandher/status/1307390652423065600 I loved this video! I also love to see any time there is a 'cross-culture'. It reminds me that over all the bad, there is happiness and acceptance in our world.

The Lion in Love   Notetaking Strategies: Focus on Plot "How would this work in a Game of Thrones world?" The Lion could be Jon Snow and the daughter is Ygritte.  I would probably want to change the story to Jon is madly in love with the daughter of the King of the wildlings. Or not include the daughter part and just in love with Ygritte but can't be because she's a wildling, from the other side of the wall.  Jon agrees to do whatever it takes to be with her, if that is becoming a wildling or going to the other side of the wall.. etc.  Could talk about his struggle with the Night's Watch as they vow the be celibate and their life is at Castle Black with no distractions but to protect the wall...  The wall has been the dividing factor between the "Freefolk" and the seven kingdoms   Yrgritte who lived north of the wall, liked that she was a free women; strong, independent, who disparaged those who lives south of the wall. Unlike the other women jon had kno

Cersei's Share  Cersei, Tyrion and Jamie Lannister were working together as brother and sisters to determine who got what of their father, Tywin Lannister's, estate. Their father's death was sudden and unexpected, so there was no will left behind nor is his wife in the picture any longer. So the siblings would divide it amongst themselves. He left behind expensive, handmade clothing, gold, an army, a castle, his title and authority and most importantly his Lightbringer, the sword of Azor Aha. This sword the most powerful sword in all the lands, it can kill a person and even a dragon.  Cersei divided Tywin's estate into four parts. "The first part is mine," she said "because I am the Queen. The second part goes to me as I am the oldest. Next, I will take the third part for myself because I was his favorite child. Finally you two may divide the fourth part as you please."  The forth part included nothing but his favorite coat he wore during the long wi

 This reading is simple but describes a lot.  It describes how just because the lion is bigger means he is in charge, makes the rules and get what he wants. everyone else gets the 'forth piece' to share amongst each other.  " That is the lion's share: he pretends to share, but he takes it all for himself." Simply said but it says it all.  People can be fake on the outside, seem like they are for the team but at the end, they are just for themselves. As shown in this short story here. It is important that when all parties part-take equally, the reward should be divided equality, no matter how big or small players are.  Lion

1. The Fox and the Dragon  https://microfables.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-cows-prayers.html - this could be Dany( Daenerys Targaryen)  vs. the world (her expected fate)  - all the exceptions she was suppose to have, queen, everything she went through, for the iron throne, the good heart she had throughout the majority of the series, saving the innoncent. Then turning into greed and finally having her dragon destroy innocent people. i would not want to be her, i would not want to have life the live she had starting from the abuse from her brother.  2. The Lion's Army https://microfables.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-lions-army.html - turn this into Dany's army. She took anyone and everyone she could who would fight with her. She became a great commander of thousands.  3. The Boy and the Teacher  https://microfables.blogspot.com/2020/06/a-boy-had-fallen-into-deep-river-and.html - Arya and Jaqen H'ghar - Arya wanted nothing but to learn from Jaqen, he made her work and scrub the floo
