The word choice in the Forgotten Ship and Inside out & Back Again display desperation in the context.

No one's ideal day is to be locked in a cramped, hot, and hostile, deliberation room to decide the fate of the young eighteen year old boy who was accused of stabbing and killing his own father. In the 1957 film, 12 Angry Men, that is just how twelve men who were selected for a jury duty spent their day. All jurors have varying opinions for numerous reasons on whether the boy is innocent or not, but all men base their opinions off of logic, emotion, or just simply what everyone else is voting. Two men inparticular strongly used their inner connection and feelings to decide their vote on this boys trial.
“Tall elm trees made the park shadowy and dark, and it would have been a good hangout, but we preferred our vacant lot” (Hinton, 47) What will happen next? In The Outsiders, S.E.

In a novel such as The Outsiders, it is of major importance that the author establishes setting and mood for the novel’s plot to develop. This is where ambience marries mood in a story.
Sadness, Joy, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Five emotions felt by human beings on a regular basis. These five emotions are personified as characters in the movie “Inside Out”. The movie Inside Out is about an 11-year-old girl named Riley who is living a happy life until she moves with her family to San Francisco (Rivera, Docter, del Carmen, 2015). Cognitive, social and linguistic development are all essential parts that contribute to the development of a growing child, such as Riley. The movie displays these types of development in terms of memories, emotions, attention, humor and many other aspects. The purpose of this paper will be to explain why the movie Inside Out (2015) is appropriate for children ages 6 to 12 years of age in terms of their cognitive, social and linguistic development.

Inside Out is a Disney-Pixar film in which a girl, Riley Anderson has her entire world flipped upside down when her father’s job forces them to relocate from Minnesota to San Francisco. Disney worked with scientists to make this as realistic as possible, it is still readerly. There is no room for interpretation of the movie, even if someone noticed something new about it each time they watched, it would still be the same. Regardless of it’s readerly nature, I enjoyed this movie more compared to other Disney movies that are the run of the mill love story.
Emotions, emotional labour and regulation, and how we handle them, are an essential asset to caregiving. The film Savages, directed by Tamara Jenkins, is a visual representation of the struggles of eldercare, the gender roles present with caregivers, and the emotional regulation and labour one has to develop in order to be able to engage in this type of work. The film focuses on the Savage family and the Savage children’s obligation for having to take care of their sick abusive father Lenny Savage; after the death of his girlfriend and his diagnosis of dementia. Jon and Wendy after years of isolation and no relationship with their father, have become his primary caregivers, and must decide what is the best option for not only their father in this situation, but for themselves as well. This essay argues that emotions, specifically that the maladaptive approach to emotion focused strategies for coping within caregiver strain by Lazarus and Folkman’s work from 1984; and the issue of assumed gender roles and gender stereotyping in care work, are the two main themes portrayed in the film Savages, and is reinforced with the main characters Jon and Wendy.
What are emotions? I always pondered, why do humans ever feel emotions and what purpose does it bring? Back in 1884, the founder of American psychology William James, attempted to answer that question but to no avail. A century later, psychologists continued seeking for answers to that question, and came up with the conclusion that there are no specific definitions for emotions. Years later, emotion is being defined in two perspectives, the first one defined emotion as a sequence of response to stimulus such as neural arousal, impulses that trigger action and so forth (Plutchik, 1982). Yet, the other defined emotion as a function reaction to stimulus which proved to be universal according to Keltner and Shiota (2012). Now the next question arises, which researcher provides the correct definition to emotion? Both researchers definition however has something in common, which both agrees that emotions are naturally selected from evolution to serve a certain purpose (Shiota & Kalat, 2012).
Various types of theories have been established throughout history to help analyze social behavior in both animals and people. Psychologists use the six main perspectives to better rationalize human behavior and motivation: these perspectives are (but not limited to) the biological, social-cultural, cognitive, developmental, psychodynamic, and behavioral perspectives. These approaches helps psychologists and individuals further their understanding of social behavior and inner emotion.
The goal of the experiment conducted by Renner, Schwarz, Peters, and Huibers (2014) was to determine the effects of emotions in healthy individuals with a best possible self (BPS) writing and imagery exercise following a negative mood induction. The study included a total of 40 participants from Maastricht University, thirty-two women and 8 men. Initially, participants were assigned to either the experimental or control group. In the experimental group, subjects wrote about their best possible self for fifteen minutes and engaged in a mental imagery task for five minutes to reflect on what they had written in order to induce positive emotions. In the control group, subjects instead wrote about their typical day for the
