Riley In Inside Out
In the movie Inside Out the audience was given a look inside the mind of 11 year old Riley. We are shown that inside the minds there are five emotions that are in control of Riley and her feelings. Riley was described as a very happy and optimistic child. In a parental sense the “perfect child”. However, after her father gets a new job in San Francisco, California and they move from their beloved home in Minnesota Riley’s cheerful demeanor falters. All the while behind her feelings we have Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear and Anger. Joy has basically been in control of Riley’s life up until the big move.

Joy tries to keep everything together by using imagination and positivity. After everyone goes away to sleep (I guess emotions sleep too) Joy goes to one of Riley’s core memories and does what most usually do with a peaceful happy memory and she reminisces. With all the confusion and excitement Sadness repeatedly tries to move in and make an appearance, Joy wouldn’t allow it. It’s literally Joy’s job to keep Riley as happy as she can be. As Joy kept suppressing Sadness she ended up being expressed at the wrong moment. Joy sends Sadness to her own little “circle of sadness” to make sure she didn’t get in any trouble and upset Riley. Sadness still messes up anyway and somehow Joy, Sadness and the core memories end up in Long Term Memory. Their journey back to Headquarters was supposed to be quick and easy but if you leave Anger, Fear, and Disgust in charge of an 11 year old girl, bad things will follow. …show more content…
Or it will leave you crying like a newborn baby due to its extremely sweet but corny life lesson. I’ll admit when I first saw the film it hit close to home like extremely close. The only differences between me and Riley were; I love softball instead of hockey, I was 13, and Joy never seemed to come back to Headquarters for

Once she felt he wasn’t figuring it out and her guidance wasn’t enough anymore her decision to send him to military school was the right…

    The Other Wes Moore Essay

    Joy was his support, and when he tried to run away from military school she was there to remind him that he can’t keep running. Joy being a great support system for her son is one thing I believe helped her son be the successful man he is to this day. Wes I had family that would push him ahead, while Wes II had family that would bring him down. I believe that family is key to our success. If you don’t have someone there to guide you and teach you the good, how are you going to learn? Wes I’s grandfather was a great role model for Wes because he was a hardworking man, very respectful, and had family morals. Wes I whether knowingly or not knowingly was learning from his grandfather just by being around…

    Gender Stereotypes In Inside Out

    Inside Out is a children's movie but it has a lot more depth to it than is found at first glance. It was praised for being the first children's movie about a main character who has depression. The movie is about an 11-year-old girl, Riley, who moves from Minnesota to San Francisco at the beginning of the movie, and the audience sees how she processes the move through tiny people inside of her head that represent each emotion. The emotions live in a space in her head known as "Headquarters," and they operate a control panel that changes how Riley reacts to and feels about situations. There are three females (Joy, Sadness, and Disgust), and two males (Anger and Fear). Sadness is a soft-spoken female who is always wearing a sweater and glasses. Riley's depression can be seen as "Sadness' increasing autonomy is starting to affect the hue of Riley's memories and reactions" (Leslie, 2016, p.11). Sadness acting out is reacted to by Joy who is gentle about saying what she thinks whereas Fear and Anger, the two male emotions, have no difficulty expressing their…

    As John Bradshaw states in his book, all wounded children carry their wounds with them into adulthood. If a child is still struggling and not healing from their childhood, they will produce those actions and emotions throughout their life until they have gone through the healing process. The more we know about our childhood and wonder where our creativity and imagination went to, they more we do our best as adults to get it all back. There are ways to prevent our wounded inner child from tagging along in our adulthood, as well as, into our own families and to our children.…

    Movie the Bucket List

    You should always live your life as if you are going to die tomorrow. Not in the sense that you should be miserable thinking your never going to be able to see the next day, but you should make your life the best it can be. This is what I have learned from The Bucket List, that you need to live each moment like it is your last. Some people never get the chance to find out when they will die and they do not always get to accomplish things in their life that they would like to do. However, some people would not like to know the date that they will no longer be around. Dieing is scary, and when you know when your going to, some people take it hard and instead of making the best of it, they get depressed and do nothing else with their life. This movie in a sense shows you need to make the best of it. Making a bucket list would be a good idea, so you know what you would like to get accomplished…
