Most fish treat her normally when they first meet her, but only until they realize that she has a problem. In many cases when Dory approaches fish for help, they act civilly, but make no effort to assist her. Some of these cases can be attributed to the fish’s desire to stay neutral and not get involved in other creature’s lives, but others are just made uncomfortable when faced with Dory’s mental illness. When baby Dory is separated from her parents, there is a transitional montage of her looking for help from passersby, but not finding anyone to stop and help her. Some fish swim away before she can introduce herself, and others only listen and feign sympathy for her. Even Marlin, who eventually becomes Dory’s best friend, tries to avoid her after he realizes she is amnesic. “Something’s wrong with you, really. You’re wasting my time. I’ve got to find my son” (Stanton and Unkrich, 2003). On their second adventure together in Finding Dory, Marlin still unintentionally makes her feel inferior due to her illness. “You know what you can do, Dory? Go wait over there and forget. It’s what you do best” (Stanton and MacLane, 2016). It took time and patience for him to get to a point where he could treat Dory as an equal, but even after knowing and interacting with her for over a year, there are still days when he loses his

Dory is a Regal Blue Tang that lives in the ocean along with her friends Marlin and Nemo. She has a charming personality, and is a very happy and excited character. Dory would love to chat with you all day and tell you her whole life story...but she can’t. Dory is a very forgetful fish and can’t seem to remember things very well. She suffers from short term memory loss, and is unable to retain her memories. According to Dory’s bio on Disney.com, “Dory is the friendliest fish in the ocean. Although she suffers from short term memory loss, to Dory, the glass is always half full.” In the previous movie Finding Nemo, Dory offers to help Marlin on his journey to find his missing son, Nemo. When she starts traveling with Marlin, her memory can

In some plays the experience of an important character changes him or her. In others the experiences of an important character leaves him or her almost completely unchanged. In Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, Walter Lee Younger goes from being selfish to being the man his family needs.

If you have ever seen Finding Nemo you might remember when Marlin and Dory venture into the deep sea in their search for an address on a pair of goggles. As they dive into the deep they are entranced by a bright light in the darkness. Unfortunately, though, this light was attached to a hungry angler fish. Like most deep sea creatures the angler fish looks scary and strange, especially when compared to the animals that we are used to. Deep sea creatures may seem odd, but their appearances are there for a reason. The way these creatures look, along with other adaptations help them to live in their extreme underwater environments.

Marlin finds the mask that has the location where his son was taken. Motivated to find it, Marlin meets with a large school of clever silver fish that enjoys making images with their mass.

Marlin and Dory are rescued by sea turtles when shocked unconscious by poisonous jellyfish. When entering the Sydney harbor Nigel, the pelican, assists them scooping them up in his bill to take them to specific area where Nemo is being held hostage, while avoiding the wild seagulls that say nothing but "mine". Also Nigel helps Nemo by keeping him up with information about his father trying to rescue him. Lastly, there are Nemo's tank mates and specifically the mysterious Gill. Gill is the respected fish in the tank that has a mysterious past. He is a tough, yet a strong, altruistic character who personally rescued Nemo while risking his own life.

We all know the popular family movie “Finding Nemo” a kid’s movie that tells a journey of Marlin, a father clown fish, who crosses the vast ocean to find his son Nemo. During Marlin’s journey he comes across many new and scary things, but like any good children’s movie Marlin does eventually find his son Nemo and they go back home and live happily ever after. This all sounds good right? Wrong! Looking at this movie from a psychologist point of view, or in my case a psychology students’ point of view you slowly begin to realize from the moment the movie starts each and every one of the characters in this lovely kids movie is kind of messed up in their own special way.

This is where the hero must get through different obstacles before the transformation. They may cross a hardship along the way. After the fifth stage, Marlin and Dory are spit up by the whale and thrown directly towards the dentist office where they knew Nemo was being held by different clues along their journey.

The purpose of this essay is to watch the movie and try to view the main character from three personality theorists’ perspectives. In the movie Finding Nemo, Marlin was a clown fish who lost his son, Nemo, in the vast ocean. Along his journey to find his son, he ran into Dory, a blue tang fish who suffered from short term memory loss. Dory provided moral support and comfort in this search that Marlin has been missing for years. This essay will analyze Dory in the movie Finding Nemo through Carl Rogers self-actualization theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, and Friedman and Rosenman’s personality behavior type.

In the novel The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway, there is a fish that the old man finally catches after 84 days, but is consumed by Mako shark’s in the process of reeling it in. Santiago, the old man, had a strong connection with the marlin even though he only saw him for a short period of time. They taught each other many things through a tug and war type of play. Catching a marlin fish was a goal of Santiago that he had been attempting to fulfill for a decent period of time, and after being persistent and patient, slowly but surely he was able to succeed. Many symbols in Hemingway’s novel have their own counterparts in my own life, which include a goal, hope, and idolization.

Finally, The old man also saw a Mako shark during his journey which was the first shark he encountered after catching the giant Marlin. “When the Old man saw him coming, he knew that this was a shark that had no fear at all and would do exactly what he wished.”The shark comes with celerity to eat the dead marlin, but ends up being killed by the Old Man. The shark is the only sea creature the old man knows that is not apprehensive. The shark does anything he wants without looking at the consequences even if it means death. The shark has a never giving up attitude. The shark is like a thief that tried to steal the Old Man’s marlin without looking at the risks.

The local people think that the fish its self are also trying to wipe themselves out. This might seem weird, but the truth is that these fish are cannibals. All the older fish, eat the young fish which wipes out an entire generation of fish.
