Prince Zuko of Avatar: The Last Airbender - A PTSD Case Study For this assignment, I chose to analyze Prince Zuko, a character from one of my favorite shows as a teenager, Avatar: The Last Airbender. After examining his personal history, contributing factors, and any symptoms presented during the course of the series, a diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) best fits his situation. Furthermore, although this person obviously does not exist, identifying potential treatment options assists

As Stephen Mitchell stated, “(Gilgamesh is) the oldest story in the world, a thousand years older than the Iliad or the Bible” (Mitchell, 1). Gilgamesh is the oldest text we have from the B.C./B.C.E times. Majority of scholars believe that the main theme of the book is Immortality. Therefore, it is arguable that other themes are much more important. Gilgamesh is by far the oldest known text in today’s age. Through analyzation, we know one of the main themes of the story is immortality; however, that

Not only does this offer some character development but the audience has a chance to see, learn, and sympathize with the “villain”.

music, style and dance moves set teenagers apart from their parents. In later years, characters from TV shows and movies began to mimic Elvis’ look and style. For instance, in the popular musical, Grease, main character, Danny Zuko, shares a resemblance to the legend. Zuko wears tight blue jeans, a leather jacket, and had a slicked back do. Many people also remember Uncle Jesse from Full House as sporting a similar style. Not only was Elvis Presley an important part of transforming music, but he

For my film project, I will explore the 1978 film Grease directed by Randal Kleiser and produced by Allan Carr. The movie depicts the love story of an American teenage couple who unexpectedly reunite at high school after falling in love over the summer. Sandy, the female protagonist, is a new exchange student who must adapt to the social hierarchy of the public-school system. Throughout the film, the couple navigates the social rules of high school romances, friendships, and experiences while trying
Orson Scott Card once said, “I am especially grateful, however, to have known the fifties, before we began to poison our own civilization. People who experienced the 1950s thought it was the most fabulous years of a person’s life. It was different from previous years because of America’s adaptation of ideas. The 1950s were a time for change. Popular culture was significantly influenced by the people’s change of ideals at the time. Although some may disagree, popular culture in the 1950s experienced
. Ferris Bueller Ferris Bueller's Day Off, while dated, is an essential high school movie. It details the convoluted scheme of Ferris Bueller to get out of school, resulting in a number of hijinks. Even with its innaccurate portrayal of what happens when you skip school, it's still a relatable adventure. 2. Project X Released in 2012, and a bit more modern, Project X details an 'epic' party thrown by Thomas (Thomas Mann), Costa (Oliver Cooper), and JB (Jonathan Daniel Brown). Intending to make
Drive-in theatres, fixing up cars, and rock n’ roll were the only things that mattered to teenagers in the 1950’s. It is hard to find a drive-in theatre today but in the 50’s they were the place to go. It was where you went on a date especially if the boy had a car. Rock n’ roll is still considered the music that teenagers listen to during their rebellious stage, though the sound has changed drastically. From a time that gave the world movie theaters, colour television, and records from artists like
In 2006, the classic television show Sesame Street decided to change one of their fan favorite character’s, the Cookie Monster. During this time childhood obesity was a hot topic. The creators of Sesame Street spoke strongly against obesity and saw it as their duty to promote fighting against it by slowly morphing Cookie Monster in to a Veggie Monster. The decision was met with immediate outrage and many felt that changing a beloved American cultural icon was sacrilegious. In 1967, three monsters
explains the stereotypes given to teenagers. The first real insight in Sandy Olsson’s need to change who she is, is during the song “summer loving”, during this number there are two very different portrayals as to how the summer went between Danny Zuko and Sandy, in Danny’s mind the big selling feature was that “she got friendly in the sand” where as in Sandy’s explanation of the summer she was happy when “he got friendly, holding [her] hand”. In Danny’s story it was not good enough for him and
and carefree, the effect a dose of pure movie magic. It just doesn't get much better than this. For those who have been living under a rock for the last quarter of a century, here's a refresher: high school heartthrob/big man on campus Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Australian goody-goody Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) spend the summer frolicking on the beach to the wafting sounds of "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing." Once school is back in session at Rydell High, Danny, thinking he will never
There are countless television shows out there that connect to people on different levels, most of them being live action. Viewers of these shows will tell others it had to do with anything from realism to relatable traits found in various characters. One common thread that will most likely be shared between all of the choice is that being the show is not animated. However, I would argue that animated shows are just as good and even better than live action ones. One of the animated television shows
