There are no purely good/bad characters. Everyone is morally grey and imperfect, and this informs the way they think of each other and their surroundings. Seeing the other side of the war as wrong, while also seeing their humanity is key to understanding our protagonists.]]> 2019-12-17 19:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425189613 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425191633 2019-12-17 19:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425191633 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425192670 "She is the member of the Aang Gang who believes most strongly in the goodness of others and the one who has the most trouble forgiving those who cross her. Season three has pushed her into some dark places, but when Zuko gives her a chance to confront the man who killed her mother, she connects with her inner darkness in a big way and emerges a stronger person for it." - AVClub.com]]> 2019-12-17 19:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425192670 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425196138 “You might have everyone else here buying your ‘transformation,’ but you and I both know you’ve struggled with doing the right thing in the past. So let me tell you something right now. You make one step backward, one slip up, give me one reason to think you might hurt Aang, and you won’t have to worry about your destiny anymore. Because I’ll make sure your destiny ends right then and there.

But I can't get you home because of this blizzard. There's always something. Not that you would understand. You're like my sister. Everything always came easy to her. She's a firebending prodigy and everyone adores her. My father says she was born lucky. He says I was lucky to be born. I don't need luck, though. I don't want it. I've always had to struggle and fight, and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am."]]> 2019-12-17 19:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425199027 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425200598 the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.]]> 2019-12-17 19:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425200598 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425201495 "You know what the worst part of being born over a hundred years ago is? I miss all the friends I used to hang out with. Before the war started, I used to always visit my friend Kuzon. The two of us, we'd get in and out of so much trouble together. He was one of the best friends I ever had, and he was from the Fire Nation just like you. If we knew each other back then, do you think we could have been friends too?"]]> 2019-12-17 19:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425201495 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425203334 How the war robs our characters not only of their loved ones but also their childhoods.]]> 2019-12-17 19:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425203334 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425207595 Fanart of the protagonists, created long after the conclusion of the series.]]> 2019-12-17 20:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425207595 kerseyj11 https://padlet.com/kerseyj11/mrjfgi1i18bv/wish/425214293 "The best redemption arc in television history, examined"
