20 AGOT Jon III: Here For Life

Hurt and angry he's been sent to live among criminals, Jon keeps to himself and is hard on the other boys in practice. Donal Noye tells Jon he's a bully and that he is no better than any man of the Watch.

Initially, Jon does not see the other recruits as his brothers. Jon feels deeply insulted that Ned allowed him to choose to join a penal colony. He'd thought it was a noble calling. Lumped together with thieves and rapists, a bastard, Jon loathes his company, knowing he is better than them and did nothing to deserve the punishment they do. Is it that he comes to see Grenn and the others are as innocent as himself that changes Jon's tune? Or was it what Donal Noye said about him being a bully that shocked Jon out of his rut? Jon apologizes to Grenn, offers to train him, and welcomes his fellows as brothers.
