Inside out is a disney cartoon film directed by Pete Docter. It follows the story of a preteen girl named Riley and her emotions that are represented as characters in the film, with an angle of “meeting the little voices inside your head”. Representing the five major emotions are the characters Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear, who take us on a journey through the brightly coloured, amazing, exhilarating wonderland of Riley’s mind, conquering many troubles along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and found that although aimed at a younger audience I think it touches on very relevant topics that are essential for life, such as individuality and acceptance of others, that are both resourceful and important for everyone of all ages to know and learn about making it an appealing and enjoyable film for all.
The film Inside Out tells the story of a young girl named Riley and her changing emotions after she is forced to move from her home town in Minnesota to San Fransico for her father’s job. The story is told from the perspective of her five emotions. Riley’s emotions are led by Joy, who attempts to guide her through the stressful event. Although Joy puts forth great effort, Sadness takes over. When trying to protect Riley’s core memories from Sadness, Joy is swept from headquarters through the dump tube and Sadness follows. With Joy and Sadness gone, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are the only emotions left in headquarters; therefore, Riley cannot be happy or sad. Because Joy and Sadness are absent, Riley’s personality islands diminish one by one. Riley fights with her family, pushes away from her friends back home, and loses interest in hockey. As Joy and Sadness navigate through Riley’s brain in search of a way back to headquarters, they encounter many obsticles. Back in headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust place the idea of running away into Riley’s head. Joy witnesses the transformation of a sad memory into a happy memory, and finally realizes the importance of all emotions, including Sadness. With the help of Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, Joy and Sadness find their way back to headquarters and are able to stop Riley from running away. An update in headquarters takes place, and more personality islands develop. Joy learns to accept the
There are many ways to determine the meaning of happiness, the most important being the presence of sadness. Over the course of time, sadness has gotten a bad reputation in a sense that if someone if feeling sad, they must be weak or depressed. Truly understanding people have learned that when life gets difficult, one must handle their mental state in a healthy way and seek help or an outlet. The people who are unaware of this, may later become obsessed with a happier past time, and live the present in wistful manner. The movie Inside Out, by Disney Pixar Animation, deals with an 11-year-old girl named Riley, and her five emotions, during a rough change in her life. Through the character of Riley, and her emotion in command, Joy, we see how
According to Adler and Proctor (2011), it talks about responding to transgressions and some examples to that would be coming to an acceptance, rejection and discussion. In the movie “Inside out” we discover how all the emotions try to steer the way to control the little girl “Riley” mind but one specific character by the name of “Joy” is basically the one in charge of them all and tries to take on more of the responsibility in situations. Throughout the movie something happens to Riley and her emotions
Jennifer Brown’s novel, Hate List, explores the issues surrounding bullying, school shootings, and recovering after trauma. It tells the stogy of Valerie, a high school girl who is horribly bullied at school, and her boyfriend Nick who experiences similar abuse.

Throughout the beginning of the novel, Frankenstein’s monster has been defined by his ugly appearance. When Frankenstein’s monster encounters people, he is immediately driven away because of his ugliness, as seen by when Frankenstein’s monster conveys how ”children shrieked, and one of the women fainted” when he tried to enter a cottage, and how he was “grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons” once the villagers saw his ugliness(106). People assume that Frankenstein’s monster is evil solely because of his appearance, before the monster has shown any intent to harm others.This effect even occurs with Frankenstein himself, where he claims that the mere glimpse of the monster, which was “more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly
Whether you’re five or fifty, you will always have innocence somewhere inside of you. Everyone is innocent in some respect, whether it be from lack of experience or just not knowing something. The main character in my book displays his innocence rarely and randomly. He is often too worried about everyone else to notice his own innocence. In the book, “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, the main character Holden displays rare instances of innocence such as worrying about his growing body, running away, and petty fights.
1. Katniss’s change during the course of the novel has been influenced by the Capitol and the arena during the Hunger Games. In the beginning she volunteered for her love for Prim and did not think she would win, but during the games she actually believes she has a chance. And throughout the games she found herself hating the Capitol more and more, for example when she said “I want to do something, right here, right now, to shame them, to make them accountable, to show the Capitol that whatever they do or force us to do there is a part of every tribute they can’t own. That Rue was more than a piece in their Games.
A countless amount of people spread rumors or false accusations about someone who has done nothing. In the book Hate List, many accusations and rumors were spread about the protagonist named Valerie. Valerie’s life has changed tremendously over time because of what people have been saying about her, and the lies that have been going around in her school. “All of this never really affected me. To be honest, I didn't care about what other people thought about me as I had Nick, who was always there for me. Things have changed” (Brown, 33). Before everything took place, Valerie never got affected by these rumours that would be going on as she had her boyfriend to hold tight while she was going through tough times. Nick would always be there for
The sin of revenge is worse than the sin of adultery. Revenge is an action that one takes to deliberately affect someone else negatively, whether through violence, words, etc. On the other hand, adultery may be simply caused by dissatisfaction with someone else, and it is not always a tactic to hurt the original person being betrayed. Therefore, revenge causes more harm in a relationship and life in general. In the novel, though Hester and Arthur committed adultery, Hawthorne may actually agree that revenge is worse. Hawthorne gave Roger devil-like qualities when Roger was planning revenge. The “old man's soul was on fire, and kept on smoldering duskily within his breast.” (116)

The theme of the book is to not be influenced or influential in a negative way about our image. For instance, many of the main characters are extremely positive about being signified as the ugliest person in their class.”And while she is certainly isn’t happy about it, ugly is something people say about each other, and say about themselves,without even thinking the word is so generic it’s almost meaningless”(chapter 2). Danielle is amongst those remaining positive about being placed on an opinionated list deciding whether they are the prettiest or the ugliest of their class.Danielle and other students named the ugliest are providing and approaching attitude towards the readers.
Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.
