A BYU professor is helping make philosophy more accessible through a chapter he wrote exploring redemption, identity and determination in the TV series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender.'

Zuko's aspiration leads him to make some major life changes in season two, but he also finds himself reverting to past behaviors, acting in a way he isn't proud of. Frustrated that he has not become the person he wanted to be and realizing the person he is feels wrong still, Zuko is determined to reunite his fractured identity that is causing him turmoil.

Every misstep Zuko makes is an expression of part of his identity he embraced for a long time but is now trying to leave behind. Despite challenges, Zuko keeps working at it and persists until he becomes an honorable leader of his country who helps end the war. The mistakes we make are also part of who we are, he said. Acknowledging the things we don't like about ourselves and understanding what we would like to change allows for real growth, helping us to become who we really want to be.
