Sadness and Joy should be treated as equals. This concept is portrayed in Disney Pixar’s Inside Out, when the protagonist Riley struggles to come to terms with her sentiments on moving from a small town to San Francisco. As she attempts to grasp her emotions, she refuses to acknowledge that her dejection is substantially the reason for her frustration. Pixar reveals that experiences are not appointed to one single emotion, but that each contributes to emotional comprehension, by assigning human characteristics to the different emotions and illuminating comparisons between society and the characters. Pixar uncovers the reality that each emotion has a purpose in the understanding of feelings by administering human attributes in order to shine a light on the unawareness of society. The audience gets a view inside Riley’s mind and the emotions: Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness each …show more content…
The character Joy always wants to be in authority over Riley’s emotional experiences; she refuses to acknowledge Sadness’ role in helping Riley grow up. Joy finds ways to keep Sadness in a corner and away from the control center of Riley’s mind, just as society tends to treat depression and sorrow with contempt. Instead of accepting that other emotions are equally as important in experiences, society and Joy just want to recognize the jovial moments in life. Similarly, when Riley and her family first move into the new home in San Francisco, her mom explains to her to ignore her father’s stress and just “put a smile on her face”. Instead of encouraging Riley come to terms with her unhappiness, her mom advices her that she will get through it by bottling up her feelings, as society leans toward praising happiness and suppressing “negative” emotions. The connections to reality, assists the audience in accepting the
George Orwell was a master of including real examples of historical propaganda to show how easily people can be manipulated. He used animals to symbolize how primitive most people’s thoughts processes are. Most of the examples of propaganda in Animal Farm were created to show how Stalin, a Russian leader in 1920’s, controlled large groups of people. Examples of propaganda such as, glittering generalities bandwagoning, and ethos, used by the animals in Animal Farm are still widely used today and can be found in health products, advertisements and political campaigns and debates. The three main types of propaganda are pathos, logos and ethos. Each of these forms affect a person in a different way, for example pathos occurs when information
The world seems to be a dark and unforgiving place, but happiness is hidden within. It is found in a beautiful view, an uplifting song, or a compliment from a friend. According to the Ted Talk video, The Habits of Happiness, Matthieu Ricard claims that everyone “has a deep, profound desire for well-being or happiness”(Ricard 2:39). Ricard uses the three techniques of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to captivate and move his audience. With the use of metaphors, personal experiences, and even graphs Matthieu explained to his audience the full force and perception of the bendable word that is happiness. This Ted Talk dove into philosophical meaning on just how to achieve well-being, without having everything in the world.
O’Connor designed the character of Joy to encompass the isolation of the Modernist movement.To distinguish and remove herself from the people around her, Joy seeks a PhD in Philosophy thus creating an educational barrier between her mother, Mrs. Freeman, Glynese, Carramae, and herself.
Life is full of emotions, whether it be happy or sad. It is what keeps everyone going.
We are also introduced to the one of the Main characters Joy. Although her name could be referred to as rejoice, gladness, and happiness, she is the exact opposite. This irony begins from the beginning of the story. Every morning Joy would “get up, lumber into the bathroom and slam the door”(O’Conner 261) before she even spoke to anybody. We learn that she took the academic root and received a PhD in Philosophy, which made her a nihilist and indifferent to other people and to the world. We also find out that she changes her name from Joy to Hulga once she turns twenty one, which has an uglier connotation to it when compared to her previous name. Joy-Hulga creates this fantasy of herself that she is better than other people and more sophisticated because of her age and her degree, but despite this, she acts like a child. She would wear a six-year-old skirt and a yellow sweatshirt with a faded cowboy on a horse embossed on it
Joy is a complex character because she is determined to not become her mother or like the people of her community, especially Mrs. Freeman. Earning her doctorate was a way for Joy to distinguish herself from her home. Joy desired freedom yet due to her poor health condition she
Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react
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.
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
In Brave New World, the author suggests that we should seek something else in life other than our happiness by using characters that believe they are happy, and characters who do not. Some characters are happy because they rule over others with dominance and authority. While other characters struggle with internal and external happiness because they are put in a life not suited for natural human functionability. Happiness is defined by the leaders and model citizens of World State by crossing a terror with a false happiness. For example, Mustapha Mond states that “You all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford’s:
“It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace. (- Chuck Palahniuk) There are times in which people feel ecstatic or overjoyed for some reason. We may ask them why but their answer would probably be “because I’m happy”. People might not think about it but we might ask ourselves, what does it mean to be happy. In Macbeth his happiness was to have the throne of his cousin while in Federigo’s Falcon it was to have the woman he loved by his side. In the video, The Science of Happiness, gratitude is what makes us as humans truly happy.
Joy is the emotion that keeps Riley happy. The happier riley is the healthier her life will be. Joy is the key to keeping all of the emotions and islands in order.
For one climatic hour of Louise’s life, she truly tastes joy. For one hour of emotion, she does
Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.
