Slan- Avatar

My avatars are three different characters. They are Ice Cube (rapper), Baloo from the jungle book, and the Incredible Hulk. These three Avatars each represent different aspects of my personality.

Ice Cube is one of the founders of the gangster rap group NWA. He is one of the founders of gangster rap, an actor, and a mogul. Ice Cube is the part of me that is cool, real, and laid back. In his films, he either plays a hardcore badass or a family man. I feel like sometimes you have to be a badass and others times the family man. When I was young, I wanted to be a rapper and make people fall in love with my music. Ice Cube has put out many hits and films that people have fell in love with them. He is my first choice of Avatar because by looking at him I know what hard work and success can give you.

Baloo is the most memorable character in the Jungle Book. The Bare Necessities is the funniest song in the film. Baloo is the type of character who gives great advice but is also laid back about life. Sometimes we forget about how bare and naked we used to be and get wrapped up in the glamour of today. I would love to be Baloo to get back to the bare necessities and let go. It would be a privilege to get away from Facebook, E-Mails, and cell phones to be in the jungle enjoying myself. Baloo is the definition of Hakuna Mata (No Worried for the Rest of Your Days). In this digital age we need to remember to be free and let go of worries.

My third Avatar is the Incredible Hulk. The Incredible Hulk is the manifestation of rage that arises out of Bruce Banner. Sometimes we all are passive people and suppress our emotions. Then there are those times when we just want to let it all out. We want smash and break things. But the only thing we want the most is to live in peace and harmony. The Incredible Hulk to be is the result of when we cannot have that peace and harmony. I feel like the struggle of Bruce Banner to control the Hulk is a representation of man trying to control himself from doing wrong. The Hulk would be a fun Avatar because of his abilities. I could leap miles, possess amazing strength, and have a healing factor. Only downside would be having no actual control of my rage.
