Reading Notes A: The Lion in Love: Week 4

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 known, women of royalty, Ygritte can fend for herself, knows how to use a bow and arrow. 

Jon was order to kill Ygritte but couldn't because he was in love with her. 

Wrapping it back to the Lion in Love... Lion and woodcutter's daughter, are two people who are not suppose to be together just like jon snow and Ygritte

I have recently been promoted to staff as the Operations Associate. I basically do everything and everything, I'm super excited to start this semester in this position, even though it will be an unknown and crazy one.

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.
