GAMES OF THRONES SEASON 1 CHAPTER 5

In my point of view, Game of thrones has been one of the most interesting tasks we have done in our English classes. It consisted on firstly watching a specific chapter of the serie in the original version, secondly sum up the chapter in order to expose it in class and finally preparing  a quick exam for the rest of the students.

This chapter is all about how Jon Snow is an illegitimate child.

At a feast for the royal guests, Jon Snow plays with his albino direwolf, Ghost, and talks to his uncle Benjen, who is a member of the Night's Watch.

Jon is upset about being an illegitimate child and wants to join the Night's Watch. But Benjen thinks he's too young and the Night's Watch is a hard life for a kid.

Upset by this talk, Jon runs outside and meets Tyrion Lannister, the dwarf. Tyrion bonds with Jon and gives him some advice about turning his weakness into a strength. Or something like that – they're both a little drunk in that scene.

The Stark advisor, Maester Luwin, comes to tell Catelyn and Eddard that he found a secret note in his room. It turns out that this note is from Catelyn's sister Lysa, who was married to Jon Arryn.The note says that the Lannisters poisoned Jon Arryn.

What's funny here is that this further convinces Catelyn that Eddard has to take the job, as they killed the previous guy, so why don't you try that job out?

Catelyn  hates Jon Snow. She tells Eddard that Jon Snow can't stay when Eddard goes to King's Landing, but Eddard can't bring him to the capital.

Luckily, Luwin has the solution and let Jon Snow join the Night's Watch.
