![]() ![]() ![]() However, Odd clearly does not share my opinion of bear-riding, as he walks some distances while still having the option of bear travel. I’d never have to put up with walking again. ![]() Canes are great and all, but a bear? I want a service bear. I even felt a grumble of jealousy when Odd rides a bear (actually Thor) while traveling. While going up a hill is difficult and painful, going down a hill is twice as difficult when your cane can’t get a grip and your leg can’t steady you. The narrative says that “down was harder than up for Odd” which, at least in my case, has rung true. From a disability perspective, though, I was confused.Įven though my limp stems from a different source than Odd’s, I could definitely relate to him. Because a giant trapped them in animal forms, they need help to return to Asgard and get rid of the threat.įrom a mythology buff’s perspective, I was delighted with Odd and the Frost Giants. They tell him that frost giants have taken over Asgard (the home of the gods). Instead he meets a fox, a bear, and an eagle, the avatars of the Norse gods Loki, Thor, and Odin respectively. Tired of this treatment, Odd decides to go off and live on his own. His step-father ignores him, and other citizens don’t like him due to his distant, irritating personality. Soon after this raid, Odd crushes his leg under a falling tree he had been trying to cut down. Odd is a twelve-year-old boy, the son of a Viking who died two years ago after a raid. ![]()
