Book 1/Chapter Knowledge Wisdom: "The Storm"


Peace,

This episode starts with the young God Aang having a nightmare. A storm is coming and there are some who can sense it and others who cannot. The older god Iroh makes knowledge born to Zuko and advises him that they should change the course of their ship to avoid it. His light is unable to overtake the Prince's dark rage which drives him to chase the Avatar regardless of the risks involved. The storm is symbolic of the various internal devil's that haunt both he and Aang. As the plot develops, the parallel between the two of them becomes ever more pronounced. They each have unresolved issues from their pasts buried within. Aang feels guilty because he abandoned the world when the wisdom allah rule began. He builds with Katara about the time when the monks first told him that he was the Avatar. As soon as knowledge was made born, the other young monks started to treat him like he was different. The sudden change in the way that he fit into the temple's social equality made him savior allah destroy. To make matters worse, his enlightener, Kiatso was separated from him by the monks because they wanted Aang to focus on his training. The God Kiatso simply wanted what was best for him, and felt that it was wrong to turn his life completley upside down. The six sextillion tons of stress weighed self cipher heavily on him that he fled.

On Zuko's ship, many of the crew grew tired of the cold current that the Prince was manifesting. Iroh overheard them building on it and decided to join them and make knowledge born regarding it's origin. He told them the story of Zuko's fall from grace. When he spoke out of turn at a war meeting the fire Lord challenged the Prince to a duel. The young God thought that he would be fighting the captain that he had disrespected so when he saw that it was his father that would be his opponent, he begged for mercy. Fire Lord Ozai told him to rise and fight for his honor, and when he didn't, he burned him and banished him from the palace. He was told that only upon capturing the Avatar could he return.

Both of the young Gods have alot of growing to do. Zuko's current of allah I rule warms up and he aplogizes to Iroh for snapping at him. He realized that the older God only had the best interest of the crew at heart. As he grows Iroh will play the critical role of I-John throughout a multiplicity of trials and tribulations. Regardless of how much of a savage the young God may act at square I master equals, he continues to give all he has and all within his power to see the divine allah why when he elevates to his fullest potential. Aang will also be the beneficiary of companionship and wisdom from many sources. Katara in particular posesses magnetic that is strong enough to calm him when he starts to act other than his ownself. The pressure that Aang and Zuko each feel corresponds to the supreme positions that they are each destined to ultimately occupy. The reason that they must endure such treacherous training units is so that they can learn the true meaning of civilization and, in turn, become righteous teachers of freedom, justice, and equality.

Peace.
