Avatar in English

Today in English 101 we had a discussion about how to not be specialists in just one field. We should enjoy learning other skills from different people and expand our horizons. My teacher used this example to reiterate his point:
      "Have you guys seen Nickelodeon's Avatar Series?...well this can be like when Iroh learned to redirect lightning. (teacher poses in an Avatar stance) Who do you think taught him how? Waterbenders, that's who! So even though your major is, for example Math Education, you can still take a Social Dance class just to try new things!"

Iroh bending lightning

Lightning Redirection is a specialized technique within Firebending that allows a Firebender to absorb lightning into their body as energy, then release it in a more desirable direction. The technique was developed by Iroh after he studied master Waterbenders, who redirect an opponent's energy rather than oppose it head-on.^[1] Lightning redirection works equally well for natural and generated lightning.^[2]* *www.avatar.wikia.com


Of course we all related to his reference to the Greatest Nickelodeon Series of All Time. We also couldn't get over the fact that he had correlated Avatar to English. What more can I say?
