TGC chap.10-11

In these chapters of 11 and 12, the main character is of course the armer bear, Iorek Byrnison, who Lyra tried to get as a mate in gyptians.
All adventure stories have adopted character like a main character who is very strong and aggressive and sub-characters who support the main as a soldier or magician. Iorek, who is very strong and huge, plays a role of the soldier in this story. I hope he can protect Lyra a lot, and he is going to work great.

Lyra, who can read the alethiemeter better than the first time she had it, and she can guess well to what is going on next. That is her ability which she didn't realize herself so far and Mr.Coulter and Asriel did. Even though she is still a child, she is getting understand what she has to do for the gyptians' group.

The tittle of this part two, Bolvangar, means a place where the gyptians are heading to collect the kidnapped children. Now, we are going to start a fascinating trip with Lyra.

Today we discussed about the relationship between Iorek and Lyra and why did he fence Lyra.

I think because he wanted to show his power to Lyra, and wanted to show that she can't trick him.

As you mentioned, I also think they are getting closer and will help and support Lyra of the journey to the North.

I like the description of the characters, it's really funny.
Hopefully, Iorek is able to protect Lyra.

However, I wish also a surprising end. It is very boring if every problem can be solved and all are happy at the end!
