In these chapters, I noticed that there is another man named Starkad. I believe that the Kolskegg I read about several chapters ago whom Gunnar killed, is a diferrent one to the one who was mentioned a short while ago. Thanks to this passage on page 164 where it says "...the daughter os Starkad, I found out this was a possibility for the naming of Kolskegg after his supposed death.
I'm beginning to imagine what the Thing is. I think it is a setting in which prosecutions are held and important people around iceland a required to attend in order to make these proecutions successful. I came to this conclusion because on page 165, it is said that Njal attended the Thing, and although he gave his advice to both prosecutors and defendants, it only ended up in an unresolved quarrel and everyone returned home unsatisfied.

As usual you have some interesting ideas. I only ask that in the future (other classes in which you read) yo u listen to yourself more. Don't just make a point and stick with it. Listen to the text. What is it saying?

I have to penalize the mispellings, and general carelessness with which these blogs were written.
