Avatar Resemblances

The movie Avatar has many different meanings to it. There are many resemblances that have occurred in real life that can be the same as what happened in the movie. Some of these could be us taking the lands from the Native Americans hundreds of years ago, the destruction of forests for our use, and the oil spill. These are just some of the things that can be a resemblance as what happened. I will give you examples of how they are the same as what happened in the movie.


We took the land away from the Native Americans hundreds of years ago. Why we did this is because we seen something very valuable here. This was spices. Spices were a popular product in Europe. Not only couldn’t that it be grown there so it brought more value when it was sold there. Horses were another thing that wasn’t in Europe and was in the Americas. Furs were the most valuable product in the Americas. In Avatar the same thing happened. This guy had seen something very valuable on Pandora. This was a precious metal that would make him very wealthy. He noticed it was where the Na’vi were living at. He killed the Na’vi so they can make money and get what they wanted. I didn’t think this was right because they were here first and they didn’t want war they wanted peace but the newcomers were greedy in both situations and they did whatever it took to get what they wanted.

The destruction of forests is another thing that can resemble what happened. The forests are getting destroyed every day. Acres and Acres are getting chopped down for our use. This is destroying our planet and without the trees we will have nothing. This also happened in Avatar. They were destroying their planet because ours was already destroyed because of greed. We are all about greed and making money and we don’t see the effects it’s having on us until it is too late. In Avatar they were just destroying the planet so they can make themselves money. What can be done to stop the destruction of forests is we need to notify people of what’s happening and what the effects are going to be in the future. These effects could take place even in the near future.

The oil spill is a huge disaster that some people are saying its Obama’s Katrina. This is destroying our planet even more just because we wanted to use the oil for our own use. This is effecting our environment greatly. Many things are dying because of us. For instance millions of fish are dying, sea turtles and birds are also dying because of it. In Avatar we are destroying their lands so we can make money. Once again this is all because of greed. We are always trying to make money that we don’t care about the effects that it will have on us. We need to start thinking about the effects before something goes wrong and it’s too late to stop it. It’s already happened and this might not be the only disaster that will happen because we don’t care. This needs to stop before anything worse happens.

Our world is falling apart very slowly and we need to do something about it. We all need to start caring about what effects these things will have on us. We need to think about the future of Earth or we might not have a future on Earth. We might destroy it and try to save it but it will be too late to do anything and nothing will work. People need to see the effects that we are causing our Earth.
