    Season Three (Book Three: Fire) of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated television series on Nickelodeon, first aired its 21 episodes from September 21, 2007 to July 19, 2008. The season was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and starred Zach Tyler Eisen, Mae Whitman, Jack DeSena, Jessie Flower, Dante Basco, Dee Bradley Baker, Grey DeLisle, and Mark Hamill as character voices.

    This third and final season focuses on Aang's quest to defeat the tyrannical Fire Lord. In the season's beginning, protagonist Aang and his friends Sokka, Katara, and Toph are traveling through the Fire Nation, conjuring a plan for invading the Fire Nation and looking for a teacher to teach Aang Firebending. Midway through the season, Aang gathers friends he met in previous episodes and leads a failed invasion into the Fire Nation. Former antagonist and anti-hero Zuko changes sides and joins Aang, serving as his Firebending teacher until the four-part series finale when Aang finally defeats the Fire Lord and ends the one hundred-year war in a surprising way: he uses a new ability to take away Ozai's firebending abilities to avoid violating selfless Air Nomad teachings.

    The Beach (film)

    The Beach is a 2000 adventure drama film directed by Danny Boyle and based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Alex Garland, which was adapted for the film by John Hodge. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Virginie Ledoyen, Guillaume Canet, Robert Carlyle, Tilda Swinton, and Paterson Joseph. It was filmed on the Thai island Koh Phi Phi.

    Plot

    Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), a geeky twenty four year old American man with a love of world travel, arrives in Bangkok, Thailand in search of freedom and adventure. At his guesthouse he briefly meets Daffy (Robert Carlyle), a mentally disturbed British traveler who tells him of a pristine island in the Gulf of Thailand, uninhabited and forbidden, on which there lies a beautiful hidden beach and lagoon - walled in by cliffs and untouched by the tourist industry. He explains in vague terms that he settled there in secret with a group of others, but that difficulties arose and he chose to leave. Later, Richard finds a hand-drawn map showing the island's location left for him; he then enters Daffy's room to find him dead by suicide.

    The Beach

    by: All Time Low

    Well, you're a long walk from my street
    And I'm dying in this summer heat
    I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting
    Everybody's living like they're crazy in love
    I'm a dizzy mess, and everything is so above me
    From the floor of any life I lead today
    Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
    But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
    It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week
    They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
    If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
    It was the very last, time then we said goodbye to the beach
    (Showing off, showing off our teeth)
    So make one last call back home
    Cause tonight we go in alone
    And I hope that you know I'm waiting, waiting...
    (Summer do you feel me?)
    Everybody's singing like we're crazy in love
    We made a dizzy mess of everything but it was enough
    So bring all the boys and all the girls together
    Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
    But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
    It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week
    They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
    If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
    It was the very last time then we said goodbye to the beach
    (Showing off, showing off our teeth)
    (Summer do you feel me
    Listen can you hear it?
    Cave in and believe me
    Open up and scream it)
    You're going out in style
    And I'm getting tired of all your lying
    Stop pretending
    Stop, the answer's in the smile
    And I'm coming clean
    Just give me something
    Stop pretending
    Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
    But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
    It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week
    They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
    If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
    It was the very last time then we said goodbye to the beach
