Kirt: Cat of the Canals

I have just acquired an UK paperback edition of AFFC (2011, ISBN 978-0-00-648612-1). Which, btw, has some new maps I don't think are in the Geography Portal yet (North, South, Beyond the Wall, Summer Sea, Iron Islands, King's Landing). May I fill the chapter page numbers? (e.g. Prologue at 1, The Prophet at 18, The Captain of Guards at 33, ... "Meanwhile, back at the Wall" at 777, Appendix at 779)? [[User:LuisDantas|LuisDantas]] 15:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

I was hoping that scafolc or someone else will comment on this, because I am not really uptodate on this, but as far as I see there is not reason why you shouldnt. Also congrats on the new purchase, hope you have fun with it.
one thing thou, the blue color there is to mark the version of the book which is used in the [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Concordance/ Concordance]. --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 06:49, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. On another matter, are these paperbacks actually mass market paperbacks? I will post ISBN later, because two Bantam ppbs follow the exact page numbering of the us hardcovers. -- ETA: Ok, here they are. I collected the page numbers for AGOT, UK Mass-market paperback, ISBN 9780007428540; ACOK MMPB, both US (ISBN 9780553579901) and UK (9780006479895); and I checked the standard-sized US paperbacks for AGOT (ISBN 9780553381689) and ACOK (9780553381696), which seem to follow much the same numbering as the US Hardcovers. May I assume that "paperback", for the purposes of these tables, means "mass-market paperback"? Is it ok if I include de ISBN of the specific edition?

Sorry, I cant be of help here, I simply dont know. But the initial list is based on [[User:scafloc]] csv file, try dropping him a PM here or on the forum.--[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 21:15, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Corresponding chapters from the parts 1 and 2 of [[A Dance with Dragons]] should be added.
For [[A Storm of Swords]] this has been done like this: UK Paperback - SS 1 (First chapter of Steel and Snow)
So for example:
A Dance With Dragons: Part 1 Dreams and Dust (DD)
A Dance With Dragons: Part 2 After the Feast (AF)
--[[User:Mioranduh|Mioranduh]] 13:10, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Changed chapters per Mioranduh's request of 3 Dec 2012 (UTC). I know of no single-book UK paperback publication, so I overwrote the original UK paperback entry. The original page numbers for the first Part's chapters were correct, and I assume the original entry was before release of part 2 in paperback and the page numbers were estimated. Also, returned for minor edit to italicize the titles of the two parts.
--[[User:Terr|Terr]] 21:30, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Corrected reference error for Dance with Dragons. UK Hardcover edition referenced ISBN for US hardcover edition. Moved reference to US hardcover, and added correct ISBN for UK hardcover edition. Also, added mention of other hardcover editions printed that may not match the chapter/page information listed.
--[[User:Terr|Terr]] 16:30, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Provided consistent edition identification footnotes for each edition with chapter listings for all books. Though some of the older footnote information is not relevant to this specific page, I did not remove any of the previously provided information. I did, however clean it up. For instance, information regarding the ePub ISBN was removed from the paperback reference and a separate footnote was added to the ePub edition's header.
--[[User:Terr|Terr]] 21:20, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

"Cat of the Canals III" is definitely contradictory to how we're numbering the chapters, so I changed it. However, after a second thought I'm not sure if the correct change should be to "Cat of the Canals" or "Cat of the Canals I" - it's somewhat a named chapter (not true name of a character, but that's the same thing as with "Alayne I") but also somewhat a descriptive title ("of the Canals" is not part of the real "name"). A similar issue will arise in the future with TWOW, will it be "Mercy" or "Mercy I"? (I would vote for "Mercy I" since it's very much the same situation as Sansa taking Alayne's name, but with Cat I'm not that certain due to its partial descriptiveness. What do you think is the appropriate title?)

A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34

==Synopsis==
Acclimated to the routine of Cat of the Canals, [[Arya Stark|Arya]] is learning the [[Braavosi tongue]] and trying to learn three new things every time she is sent forth from the [[House of Black and White]], as the [[kindly man]] told her she must. Selling clams by day, she sleeps in a bed with [[Brusco]]'s daughters by night, and for three days during each black moon, she returns to the House of Black and White. She delivers all three things the kindly man wants her to learn, but he still sends her back to Brusco. He tells her of the [[Many-Faced God]]; especially how all religions are aware of him, even if they do not worship him. Even within [[Faith of the Seven|the Seven]] there exists [[the Stranger]], whom the kindly man calls "Him of Many Faces".

One night when the black moon begins, she meets [[Dareon]] after he departs the Happy Port. Arya is angered by the singer's abandonment of his vows as a [[Night's Watch|black brother]]. Returning to Brusco's, she gives him the coin she has collected selling his mollusks and a pair of new boots, then heads to the House of Black and White for three nights.

The [[waif]] teaches her how to identify certain poisons like [[Sweetsleep]] and the [[Tears of Lys]], and then tells her the full story of how she came to the temple. She claims to be the eldest child from an ancient house, but when her stepmother had a true daughter, the woman tried to poison the waif. When her father discovered this, he delivered two-thirds of his wealth to the House of Black and White, and soon after, his second wife was dead and the waif now a servant in the temple. She reveals that she lied about part of that tale, but before Arya can guess which part, the kindly man visits her. She tells him the three new things she has learned, finishing with the knowledge that Dareon is dead- his throat was slit and his body dumped in the canal. When the kindly man asks who killed him, she replies, "Arya of [[House Stark]]." The priest again asks her who she is, to which she answers, "no one". But, as always, he tells her she lies, then asks the waif to bring Arya some warm milk to help her sleep. Arya goes to bed, but upon awakening in the morning, she discovers that she is blind.

Kirt: Unification - it's not "The Prince of Winterfell IV", so it also shouldn't be "Cat of the Canals III"

POV character

Kirt:

Chapters of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are presented through different '''POV characters'''. [[w:point of view (literature)|Point of view]] is the way a story is written, determining through whose perspective the story is told.

[[George R. R. Martin]] strictly adheres to [[w:Third-person narrative|third-person narration]]. In each chapter the reader is presented with the thoughts and desires of one particular character, experiencing most of what he sees and hears, what he knows and remembers from the past, but not the thoughts of other characters and events occurring outside of his sight (this rule, however, has been so far violated once, when the narration shifted briefly to [[w:Narration#Third-person.2C_omniscient|third-person omniscient]] near the end of [[The_Iron_Suitor_%28A_Dance_with_Dragons%29|The Iron Suitor]] chapter). Through the story we encounter number of POV's thus obtaining a multi-faceted view of the story.

== POV Characters types ==
In the books the POV characters can be divided into three broad categories:
* Prologue/epilogue POV characters: These are the characters whose perspective the prologue and epilogue chapters of each book have been told from. So far each book has had a prologue, whilst only the ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'' and ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'' have had an epilogue.
* Major POV characters: These are the main POVs from whom the bulk of the story has been related. Each main POV chapter is headed simply by the character's name.
* Minor POV characters: Introduced in ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', this category includes POV chapters from minor characters rather than the major protagonists of the series. They are differentiated from the main POVs by having a descriptive title rather than just a name. As the books progress however, the distinction between major and minor characters is blurred; some less frequent POVs<ref name=MelisandreVictarion /> have their names as chapter titles, whereas some more frequent ones<ref name=TheonArya /> are given descriptive titles.

POV character

2015-03-01T17:38:52Z

Kirt: I rollbacked myself too much ;) The entry revealed to (potentially) the reader of aGoT that certain characters (notably Arya and Theon) are alive at least to aFfC. The names has been therefore moved to the annotations.

Chapters of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are presented through different '''POV characters'''. [[w:point of view (literature)|Point of view]] is the way a story is written, determining through whose perspective the story is told.

[[George R. R. Martin]] strictly adheres to [[w:Third-person narrative|third-person narration]]. In each chapter the reader is presented with the thoughts and desires of one particular character, experiencing most of what he sees and hears, what he knows and remembers from the past, but not the thoughts of other characters and events occurring outside of his sight. Through the story we encounter number of POV's thus obtaining a multi-faceted view of the story.

== POV Characters types ==
In the books the POV characters can be divided into three broad categories:
* Prologue/epilogue POV characters: These are the characters whose perspective the prologue and epilogue chapters of each book have been told from. So far each book has had a prologue, whilst only the ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'' and ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'' have had an epilogue.
* Major POV characters: These are the main POVs from whom the bulk of the story has been related. Each main POV chapter is headed simply by the character's name.
* Minor POV characters: Introduced in ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', this category includes POV chapters from minor characters rather than the major protagonists of the series. They are differentiated from the main POVs by having a descriptive title rather than just a name. As the books progress however, the distinction between major and minor characters is blurred; some less frequent POVs<ref name=MelisandreVictarion /> have their names as chapter titles, whereas some more frequent ones<ref name=TheonArya /> are given descriptive titles.

POV character

Kirt: Reverted edits by Kirt (talk) to last revision by Nittanian

Chapters of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are presented through different '''POV characters'''. [[w:point of view (literature)|Point of view]] is the way a story is written, determining through whose perspective the story is told.

[[George R. R. Martin]] strictly adheres to [[w:Third-person narrative|third-person narration]]. In each chapter the reader is presented with the thoughts and desires of one particular character, experiencing most of what he sees and hears, what he knows and remembers from the past, but not the thoughts of other characters and events occurring outside of his sight. Through the story we encounter number of POV's thus obtaining a multi-faceted view of the story.

== POV Characters types ==
In the books the POV characters can be divided into three broad categories:
* Prologue/epilogue POV characters: These are the characters whose perspective the prologue and epilogue chapters of each book have been told from. So far each book has had a prologue, whilst only the ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'' and ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'' have had an epilogue.
* Major POV characters: These are the main POVs from whom the bulk of the story has been related. Each main POV chapter is headed simply by the character's name.
* Minor POV characters: Introduced in ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', this category includes POV chapters from minor characters rather than the major protagonists of the series. They are differentiated from the main POVs by having a descriptive title rather than just a name. As the books progress however, the distinction between major and minor characters is blurred; some less frequent POVs, such as [[Melisandre]] and [[Victarion Greyjoy|Victarion]], have their names as chapter titles, whereas some more frequent POVs such as [[Arya Stark|Arya]] and [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] are given descriptive titles.

POV character

2015-03-01T17:28:03Z

Kirt: Added the info about third-person omniscient narration.

Chapters of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are presented through different '''POV characters'''. [[w:point of view (literature)|Point of view]] is the way a story is written, determining through whose perspective the story is told.

[[George R. R. Martin]] strictly adheres to [[w:Third-person narrative|third-person narration]]. In each chapter the reader is presented with the thoughts and desires of one particular character, experiencing most of what he sees and hears, what he knows and remembers from the past, but not the thoughts of other characters and events occurring outside of his sight (this rule, however, has been so far violated once, when the narration shifted briefly to [[w:Narration#Third-person.2C_omniscient|third-person omniscient]] at the end of [[The_Iron_Suitor_%28A_Dance_with_Dragons%29|The Iron Captain]] chapter). Through the story we encounter number of POV's thus obtaining a multi-faceted view of the story.

== POV Characters types ==
In the books the POV characters can be divided into three broad categories:
* Prologue/epilogue POV characters: These are the characters whose perspective the prologue and epilogue chapters of each book have been told from. So far each book has had a prologue, whilst only the ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'' and ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'' have had an epilogue.
* Major POV characters: These are the main POVs from whom the bulk of the story has been related. Each main POV chapter is headed simply by the character's name.
* Minor POV characters: Introduced in ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', this category includes POV chapters from minor characters rather than the major protagonists of the series. They are differentiated from the main POVs by having a descriptive title rather than just a name. As the books progress however, the distinction between major and minor characters is blurred; some less frequent POVs<ref name=MelisandreVictarion /> have their names as chapter titles, whereas some more frequent ones<ref name=TheonArya /> are given descriptive titles.

Kirt: The entry revealed to (potentially) the reader of aGoT that certain characters (notably Arya and Theon) are alive at least to aFfC. The names has been therefore moved to the annotations.

Chapters of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are presented through different '''POV characters'''. [[w:point of view (literature)|Point of view]] is the way a story is written, determining through whose perspective the story is told.

[[George R. R. Martin]] strictly adheres to [[w:Third-person narrative|third-person narration]]. In each chapter the reader is presented with the thoughts and desires of one particular character, experiencing most of what he sees and hears, what he knows and remembers from the past, but not the thoughts of other characters and events occurring outside of his sight. Through the story we encounter number of POV's thus obtaining a multi-faceted view of the story.

== POV Characters types ==
In the books the POV characters can be divided into three broad categories:
* Prologue/epilogue POV characters: These are the characters whose perspective the prologue and epilogue chapters of each book have been told from. So far each book has had a prologue, whilst only the ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'' and ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'' have had an epilogue.
* Major POV characters: These are the main POVs from whom the bulk of the story has been related. Each main POV chapter is headed simply by the character's name.
* Minor POV characters: Introduced in ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', this category includes POV chapters from minor characters rather than the major protagonists of the series. They are differentiated from the main POVs by having a descriptive title rather than just a name. As the books progress however, the distinction between major and minor characters is blurred; some less frequent POVs<ref name=MelisandreVictarion /> have their names as chapter titles, whereas some more frequent ones<ref name=TheonArya /> are given descriptive titles.

Point-of-View Characters from [[A Song of Ice and Fire]]. Point-of-View, or POV, is the way a story is written, determining through whose perspective the story is told.
Martin strictly adheres to a third-person narration, in each chapter the reader presented the thoughts and desires of one particular character, everything he sees and hears, what he knows and remembers from the past, but not the thoughts of other characters and events occurring outside of his sight. Through the story we encounter number of POV's thus obtaining a multi-faceted picture of what is. For further information on the subject see [[w:Third-person narrative|third-person]] and [[w:point of view (literature)|point of view]] articles on Wikipedia.

== POV Characters types ==
In the books the POV characters can be divided into three broad categories:
* Prologue/epilogue POV characters: These are the characters whose perspective the prologue and epilogue chapters of each book have been told from. So far each book has had a prologue, whilst only the the [[A Storm of Swords|third]] and [[A Storm of Swords|fifth]] books have had an epilogue.
* Major POV characters: These are the 'main' POVs from whom the bulk of the story has been related. Each main POV chapter is headed simply by the character's name.
* Minor POV characters: Introduced in "A Feast for Crows", this category includes POV chapters from 'minor' characters rather than the major protagonists of the series. They are differentiated from the main POVs by having a descriptive title rather than just a name. As the books progress however, the distinction between major and minor characters is blurred; some less frequent POVs such as [[Melisandre]], and starting in [[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Victarion]], have their names as chapter titles, whereas some more frequent POVs such as [[Arya]] and [[Theon]] are given descriptive titles.
