Inside Out Analysis Riley

Riley describes her victim’s reaction, “She was destroyed. I was one of her best friends and I crushed her.” She did not feel any satisfaction. Riley did not feel stronger putting others down. She was ashamed and knew what she did was wrong but she says, “The thing is that I already hated myself. I hated myself for being bullied in past and I hated myself for being pathetic. I was so insecure and weak that I couldn't hate myself more in order to stop.” Riley would have done anything to be popular, and she was disgusted by this. However, she concedes that she was too scared to give up the yearn for superiority she held since the first time she

through the use of Logos. At the end of the film, Joy looks back on one of Riley’s “core memories” of an important hockey game in which Riley misses a goal, and then immediately realizes that the sadness Riley felt was not just sadness but through that sadness Riley also felt compassion from her loved ones.

One of the first conflict styles Joy uses in the beginning of the movie is competing. This occurs when one person completes their goals and the other does not. Adler and Proctor stated (2011), "This win-lose approach to conflict involves high concern for self and low concern for others... competition seeks to resolve conflicts "my way" (page 386). In the movie when Joy comes in contact with a conflict she tends to react the way she sees fit. When sadness tries to touch one of Riley's core memories Joy immediately pushes her away and makes her turn her attention to something else so that she won't be in the way. By being pushed away this causes Sadness to be the losing party because she is not able to achieve her goal of having more input in Riley's

I'm not just adding things so I can get five sentences! How dare you think of me that way. I'm appalled. Anyway, she was talking about her body and what she liked about it and what she didn't. Then the story moves the Riley at a party.

Joy provides happiness for the young girl. Sadness provides Riley moments of comfort from her parents and emotional bonding between Riley and her parents. Fear keeps her from hurting herself by prompting a cautionary response. Likewise, Disgust and Anger fulfill their intended, beneficial roles, thereby fulfilling their manifest functions. At the end of the day, Joy congratulates her counterparts, telling them, “Nice job, everybody. Another perfect day.”

Throughout the duration of the movie Joy believes Sadness is irrelevant, and questions why Riley needs Sadness. In the beginning of the movie, Joy is the main user of the control panel, making, Joy, Riley's main emotion. When Sadness and Joy disappear everything comes to a halt.

Following her mother’s lead and compensating for what she seems to have lost with the absence of her brothers Denver begins to care greatly for Beloved instantly showing a sisterly bond. Denver protects Beloved in a one sided way as Beloved feeds off of the attention given to her.

In conclusion, Riley’s reactions to her experiences led her to be generally downtrodden with no attempt to raise her attitude. Instead of taking positive outlooks on the events in her life, Riley had the most pessimistic thought process on each incident.
