Wiki Trails: From The Last Airbender to Sea of Okhotsk

For the Wiki Trails this week, I decided to start out at the Avatar the Last Airbender article, since I needed to do some more research for my portfolio stories.  I learned a lot about the series that I actually didn't know before, especially about the inspiration for the cultures in the story.

The next article I read was Sireniki, which is one of the cultures that influenced the Water Tribe in teh series.  I had never heard of this before and really wanted to learn more.  This village is in the very north east corner of Russia.


After this one, I read the article on the Bowhead Whale.  This is a whale whose migration patterns take it around this village.  This is such a wonderful creature and I am so glad I learned about them.  I really love whales and I am excited to have a new one to study.

The last article I visited was the Sea of Okhotsk.  This is another place along the bowhead whales' migration patterns.  Apparently, the population of these whales here is endangered and very little is known about them.  I hope I come back to these pages to learn more about this awesome creature.

    Hi Caitlyn! I'm just doing some extra commenting and I came across your post on the blog stream. What really had me curious was the "The Last Airbender" part of your title because I knew it'd be about Avatar, and well, I used to love Avatar when I was little. Anyway, I think it's cool how to went from that to a sea where the Bowhead whales migrate to.

Hello!  I'm Caitlyn and I'm studying linguistics and minoring in Spanish.  Above is a picture of my boyfriend and I at Devil's Den in Arkansas.  He is my adventure buddy and we always find some really amazing places to go.  We both really love hiking and he introduced me to camping during spring break this last semester.  We have some more adventures planned for this semester and I will probably find a way to talk about them, so look for more posts about hiking and finding more beautiful sunsets. So, about my major...  I am fascinated by languages and everything about them.   If you are unfamiliar with linguistics, that’s totally fine.  Most people I encounter outside of my major don’t really know what it is either.  Linguistics is a sub-field of anthropology that focuses on language.  I really like the more technical aspects of my major. For example, I really love phonetics, a sub-field of linguistics.  This field focuses on the sounds of languages and how they ar

The Banishment

As Prince Zuko entered the grand hall of the palace, the celebrations over took him.  He noticed the relics from the Earth Kingdom that were on display in the center of the room.  Speaking with his uncle, Prince Zuko marveled at the delicate decorations on these artifacts.  He discussed with his uncle how it is almost tragic to take such beautiful pieces of history away from their people, even if taking them was a symbol of his own nation's power.   Prince Zuko's sister, Princess Azula, overheard this conversation and immediately decided to tell their father about what Zuko had said.  Princess Azula has always been incredibly jealous of her brother for no reason other than he was the first born, so he would inherit the title.  Princess Azula knew Zuko's words would cause their father to be angry and outraged at his own son's words.   After telling Firelord Ozai, Azula and Zuko's father, Princess Azula tried very hard to hide a smile from crossing her face.  Firelo
