Avatar is one of the greatest movies in its category. It talks about what is going on in the world but also very entertaining. Unfortunately to say the same destructive theme that was happening in the movie is happening to us. On this web site called Change.Org children our age can have a voice. You can see the petitions that are going on in this world right now. One of those petitions really caught my eye and reminded me a little bit of the story Avatar. The petition is called “Stop Expanded Logging in Alaska's Tongass National Forest.” What this is about is they want to cut down the Tongass trees in the borderline of Alaska and California. Many people want to cut down these trees for wood that is unnecessary even though these trees have been there for hundreds and thousands of years. So why cut them down?
In the movie Avatar the theme of the story is how there is two different kinds of people the ones that care about the earth and is in touch with the world as if it was part of them. The other kind is where they could care less about the earth and would do anything for money. Well that exists both in the movie and life. When they cut down the trees what’s next what are they going to do? Build a McDonald's with that they will invest in a lot of money. But does the world need another fast food we are going to kill the people off before we do to the world. In Avatar when the military tares apart the trees and the environment Mother Nature stepped in and started a war. At the end all the people stood together and defended what they believed in. We need to make a stand and by Change.Org we can.
Also for another example how the movie is related to real life. Is when they cut the trees down to get this thing that is worth a lot of money. Our problem in the world right now is the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. People from the oil company drilled through the pipe and the oil is now in the oceans and might come to the nearest ocean by you. This is affecting everyone it is killing our animal that live in the ocean, and ruining our beautiful ocean. All this for money? If I was able to ask the people that did this mess a question it would be ”Was it worth it? ”
It is very nice to have a voice in this world. Mainly they only listen to the people that are wealthy or of age to vote and don’t listen to the rest of the worlds voice. With Change.Org I feel like the world is equal and don’t have to depend on the adults to make the right choice. I plan to use my voice to change the world and make it a better place. Even though I am only sixteen with a little voice. There are many sixteen year olds that think the same as me. With their small voices it could make the biggest voice in the world.
