Understanding Through Shared Journeys

Adults seek to comprehend their parents and the histories that shaped them, often drawing parallels between personal experiences and broader narratives. The story of Aang in Avatar reflects the refugee immigrant experience, particularly resonating with those from the Vietnamese diaspora. Aang, as the last airbender, symbolizes the loss and separation faced by many who fled their homelands. The genocide committed by the Fire Nation serves as a metaphor for historical traumas, while Aang's journey encapsulates the sorrow of leaving one's family and homeland, mirroring the struggles of those who escape violence and war.
