Who Is The Overprotective Clownfish In Finding Nemo

o Page 49 “…the hooked fish, the female, made a wild, panic-stricken, despairing fight that soon exhausted her..”

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

Watched by many, the movie Finding Nemo is a good movie for explaining Vygotsky’s theories because there is a wide variety of characters adults, children and even teachers. The adult characters in the movie Finding Nemo portray the adolescence developmental stages, as explained by Vygotsky. Many more of Vygotsky’s theories are found in the movie. Some include the zone of proximal development, egocentric speech, scaffolding, and scientific and spontaneous concepts.

“I don't think I can swim it,” Nichelle said “ I'm not a good swimmer.” “Can you hold your breath for thirty seconds?” Jack asked. She looked at him “ I think so,” “Then you can do it. If you can swim, I'll carry you out.” Nichelle looked at him quizzically. “Why?” “We don't leave family behind” For a moment Nichelle was speechless. “Thank you”. (Evans 261)

Upon Stewart's arrival to the Galapagos Islands, his boat came across sixty feet of illegal fishing lines. Attached on the end of the lines were over one-hundred and sixty dead sharks. In the background the sound of a slow piano played, adding to the intense scene. Stewarts instinct was to spring into the water and offer immediate help to the sharks, he shifted through the dead animals trying to find one that might be alive to let it loose. “I feel like a part of my family is dying.” Stewart stated once he returned to his crew on the boat. This scene evokes emotion of sorrow and pity for Stewart since he has such a strong emotional connection for the lives he's lost. Robert stated that Hammerheads are “The most misunderstood species in the world.” As the hammerheads swam circling around him it was evident that they were keeping their distance from Stewart. If he slightly moved his arm or leg, the sharks would add more distance between them and him. Robert explained that Hammerhead sharks are extremely shy and can sense others feelings, if you're scared then they will be too. Once Stewart said this, the typical stereotype of a ruthless shark was gone. During the film Sharkwater there are several scenes where Stewart expresses his emotional connections to sharks,

away his ability to laugh. A second example is the scene in which McMurphy and his

It is noticeable in a couple scenes from the movie. The first is on Nemo’s first day of school after Nemo and Marlin are all ready to leave Marlin makes Nemo exit , enter then re-exit the sea anemone three times before Marlin deems it suitable for them to leave. Marlin even goes as far as saying they could do it a fourth time if they wanted to. Marlin believes that if he and Nemo do not do this every time they leave their house they could get seriously injured from someone who is waiting outside for both clown fish to leave.

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. But the area where Marlin and Nemo had to go was surrounded by swarms of birds, in which was very dangerous because birds eat fish. Marlin has no choice but to jump into one birds mouths that says will help them find Nemo at the dentist office. Here Marlin has to overcome his fears and trust that the bird will bring him to where he needs to

On his pursuit he meets a blue fish named Dori, who has a memory problem. She undoubtedly is annoying to Marlin and he gets very impatient with her when she continues to repeat herself. Against his better judgment he agrees to let her help him find his lost son. For the next few days, as the movie goes, they have several encounters with other marine wildlife that according to Marlin are dangerous. First they encounter three sharks which are known to be solely meat eaters but they join the sharks and spend some time with them that show them that not all sharks are that way but some feel that fish should be thought of as "friends, not food" as the sharks like to say. With this knowledge he begins to trust more of the other sea creatures that he did before.

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 beloved Disney movie Finding Nemo features both a colorful underwater landscape and a psychologically diverse cast of characters. From the obsessive Bubbles (a fish obsessed with bubbles) and Gurgle (the germophobic fish at the dentists office), to the shark trio that refuses to eat fish, and the confused Deb, who thinks her reflection is actually her twin sister, Flo, most of the characters in the movie seem to exhibit some sort of quirky condition. Nemo himself has a physical disability (his “lucky fin”) that he learns to overcome in order to develop self-confidence. Marlin also exhibits anxiety and trust issues, which he overcomes throughout the course of the movie. One of the main characters, Dory, has a specific disability that she must learn to adapt to in order to complete her journey: short-term memory loss.

Marlin and Dory accidentally run into a bloom of jellyfish that nearly stings them to death; they wake up to see Crush, a surfer turtle, which takes Dory and him on the East Australian Current. In the current, Marlin shares the details of his journey with a group of turtles and his story spreads rapidly across the ocean and eventually reaches Nemo in Sydney.
