In things fall apart, the locusts represent how the colonizers took over the villages and took away their power. This symbol was efficiently used when they compare the locust and the white men, because they come in swarms. 

In Avatar, we can see the symbols of how they practice religion, how they live, and what they mean through their relationship with the animals, the need to give back to the earth, and the act of being connected with each other and their ancestors.

Indigenous people would view this film as emotional because it shows how a culture, like theirs,  can be discriminated against and forced out because of other people's perspective of how their culture is more superior to others.

In Avatar, Pandora was a symbol to show what was happening and happened in the real world as nations colonized others and took over the indigenous populations. This fictional planet is used to show how nations are affected when others come in, dictating how colonizers and locals feel and their relationship. Both these symbols are used to depict colonizers in negative ways.

While the colonizers are outnumbered, they have far superior technology, which allows them to gain an advantage.

In Things fall apart, the modern ideas and the religion they bring represents the difference between the colonizers and the people of Umuofia.

In Things Fall Apart, the symbol of yams helps to convey the imbalance of power. Before the missionaries arrived and life was good for Okonkwo, his yams thrived as well as his life. However, when his life started crumbling, his yams were taken away from him.

Environmental exploiting is taking things from it native place, taking more and more land and leading to more damage. Though In Things Fall Apart the colonizers chop down tree in the Evil Forest, but nothing bad happened to them which created doubt within the clan

In Things Fall Apart, the unmasking is a connection between colonialism can lead to exploitation.

Jake Sully sees the beauty of nature. The humans want to use their land to mine unobtanium. The damage caused to the environment is very apparent.

Excavators and bomb ships were used by the colonizers to destroy nature. They also destroyed the big tree.

The after seeing from the other perspective, the capitalists sound terrible, they say “it's just a tree”.

The same goes with things falling apart. They disrespect their animal and plant spirits. They destroyed their beliefs which are connected to nature.

While we don't see much environmental exploitation in things falling apart. We can predict that the colonizers probably plan to exploit the land for resources.

These changes completely changed the way of life of both the Na'vi and the Africans. It changed their traditions and life style.

In Avatar, the technological advances that the humans had showed the imbalance of power. Despite not having the oxygen needed to breathe, they made a mask to survive on the new planet. While the Omatikaya used bows and arrows as defense, the sky people had huge machine guns and missiles used to destroy their homes and extract unobtanium.

However, its political nature doesn’t apply as deeply much in the modern day because colonialism is not very widespread in today's world.

The movie definitely condemns ideas such as colonization because of the contrast between the beauty of nature and the terror of destruction.

It achieves this message by showing the deep emotional scars that are left by colonization. The avatars are human-like, and their emotions are ones that the viewer can feel. Having deep emotions show makes it a more powerful message.

I think that indigenous people would sympathize with the film.

While the Na'vi are able to drive out the colonizers, many indigenous populations were overrun by their colonizers, who took their land.

They may be resentful that they were unable to drive out their colonizer.

In Things Fall Apart, the colonizers come in and settle, and brings in beliefs that ruin the community and connections of the tribe and families. The colonizers were not trying to destroy the environment, but rather to spread religion, but they ended up ruining the environment and peace that the tribe had. The missionaries attacked their beliefs.

In the Things Fall Apart  book the Igbo killed the Christians and their messengers to show that they were better, and the Igbo kind of gave up.

In Avatar, the Na’vi resist in a united way after the humans show that they do not care for the Na’vi and begin to kill them for resource access. They even go so far as to drive them out of their home and kill many of their clan. This violence drove unity from necessity. Because of this unity, they eventually win.

The long term effects of the Igbo tribe were a new religion and new ideas were brought upon their land. When the colonizers asked for land and they built in the "evil forest", once the Igbo saw that nothing happened to the colonizers they started to trust them and started to switch religions.

In things fall apart the Igbo were the biggest threat to the colonizers but they didn't seem to realize what was happening until they were already being colonized.

In Avatar the Na'vi people were luckily able to win but they still lost many people in the fight and they lost a lot of their valuable land especially the tree of souls which held their people together spiritually. They also lost their resources.
