Started off dreaming of a place like Pandora and flying freely around, Jake Sully, an ex- marine, was sent to continue his twin brother’s mission in the Avatar program, who passed away. He was introduced to Pandora and especially his Avatar. He was able to use his twin brother’s Avatar because they shared the same DNA as twins. The connection between the Avatar and a human is through DNA. The Avatar, is an exterior manifestation of the human brain into a body like the natives of Pandora, the Na’vi. The Avatar program was used by humans from Earth to study, experience, and understand Pandora. Pandora, being a foreign planet, was extremely dangerous because the animals and natives were much larger than humans. The Avatar program allowed the humans to live without fear of suffocation from the air that was toxic to humans and as a more appropriate size for the planet. Jake’s militant mission was to figure out where the rare element, unobtainiam, was found and persuade the Na’vi people to leave. During the process he went through a personal transformation while learning the ways of the Na’vi people and became a believer in the importance of preserving the trees in Pandora and also became a member of the tribe. He was the taught the ways of the Na’vi people and their spiritual value for nature. After Jake learned new values from the Na’vi people and becomes one of them, Jake finds himself battling the military he was once apart of to protect the Na’vi people and the planet of Pandora from destruction.
