Avatar: Jake Sully
“Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder” -E.B. White. And what a wonder the world of Pandora is to ex-marine Jake Sully in the movie, Avatar. Sully, who is paralyzed, takes on the persona of a Na’vi, the native people of Pandora, through an Avatar to gain information on these people for the government in order to get an operation to correct his disability. Though Avatar is science fiction, the movie shows us the reasons and effects of war within our society and how the environment can be damaged if we do not take care of it.

Sully is paralyzed and is promised that if he completes this mission, the government will pay for an operation to fix his back so he can walk again. Sully begins to bond with the native people, he quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri. the military forces are closing in on the Tree of Souls- the most important and sacred place to the Na’vi. Sully, in Avatar form, tells Neytiri to disengage from the fight. Sully blows up the approaching enemy, saving the Tree of Souls. Quaritch, wearing a super powered AMP suit, traps Neytiri under the dead body of the animal that she rode to get there. The issue in Avatar is about war and the environment.The main social issue in Avatar is powerful countries invading smaller countries.The movie took place in 2009, when Obama sent 30,000 troops into Afghanistan. This is an example of a larger world power infiltrating a smaller country.The powers are destroying a lot of things to get things, I think these powers destroy our environment to get these resources because when they are destroy resources. trying to get them and they are destroying things to get to them.
