Riley Inside Out

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

From start to finish, the audience watches Riley grow from a newborn baby into a blossoming twelve year old girl. One of the first developmental processes that appears is the aspect of easy temperament (256). Riley is a joyous little girl who promotes an excited and positive attitude quite constantly. The first portrayal of anger comes at the dinner table, but it is quickly deterred by a quick airplane technique that grasp the attention of the young toddler. The positive outlook and generally cheerful attitude is a slight but insightful indicator of an easy temperament child (256). Her entire disposition throughout the entire film stays majoritily positive. As we will later see in the upcoming paragraphs, proper parenting and emotional responses help lead to the easy and positive temperament of Riley.

At age eleven, Riley’s life is uprooted by a family move from their Minnesotan hometown to a drab apartment building in San Francisco – prompting her emotions to work overtime to alleviate the situation. While governing – then quarreling over – a disastrous episode on the first day of school, Joy and Sadness are accidentally transported to the outer regions of Riley’s long-term memory, forcing the duo to attempt a perilous journey across the expanses of her mazelike mind in order to return to the command center before the other emotions lead the dispirited girl permanently astray.

What is the definition of mixed emotions? When you see your mother-in-law backing off a cliff in your new car. Emotions are a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. The main areas involved with emotions are structures that interconnect intensively but none of them are solely responsible for any individual emotional state. The amygdala and hippocampus are two structures responsible for the control of affective activities such as friendship, love, affection, fear, rage, and aggression. When prompted it signal a reaction to fear and anxiety, making the brain get ready for flight or fight. The Hippocampus is known for the configuration of long-term memory, but when the destroyed the retention of memory is inadequate. Riley’s has five of the six primary emotions, sadness which is responsible for connection, for example when we see someone sad we may begin to feel empathetic and want to show some compassion. Disgust keeps Riley safe from being “poisoned” which includes consuming things she does not like such as broccoli. Fear keeps her safe by conceptualizing the worst case scenarios in every possible outcome. Anger protects her from others and thus allowing her to become a better hockey player, Happiness (Joy) ensures that Riley is happy.

In 2015, Disney Pixar released Pete Docter’s movie, Inside Out. The initial release of the movie was a hit in the box office and made a lot of young children and even their parents, thrilled to see. I went to see this movie with my family and I was actually excited about it because the previews were very entertaining. I am not one that typically wastes money to go see an animated film in the movie theater, but this one the one exception. The movie is about an 11-year-old girl, Riley, who moves to San Francisco with her parents from Minnesota, due to her father’s job. The main characters of the movie, however, are not Riley and her parents, but Riley’s primary emotions – Happiness (Joy), Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. These emotions give us a glimpse into the mindset of a young adolescent girl who is having trouble adjusting to her new surroundings and faking her happiness for her parents. This movie appealed to me because it was so relatable and it had such a deeper messages that takes knowledge and life experience to understand. The emotions that Riley is feeling throughout the movie really made the audience feel connected to her character. The movie exceeded my expectations and made it completely worth going to see. The emotions in the movie were more than just characters; they were a part of the person watching. This movie had the potential to make viewers think about their actions and reactions towards situations in their everyday life. Riley’s

Constant glee is often viewed as manic or a mental illness of sorts, so why do we expect children to be well behaved and cheery all the time? This could be because society cannot handle sadness. Is sadness really such a shameless emotion? In a way, Riley’s head is almost a microcosm of society, because in both scenarios Sadness is being pushed into the background or in a circle of sadness. Despite Riley’s distressing life change, Riley must “stay [her parent’s] happy little girl, ” regardless of the pain she goes through.

In today’s world most of our influence comes from pop culture such as music and movies, while these sources tend to give off negative influences there are a few gems here and there that do the opposite. A recent film that was released in late 2015 changed the game for child’s entertainment; this movie is called “Inside Out”. The thing that makes this movie so special is the unique concept that the writers created, telling a story about human emotions and how they effect our everyday decisions. In this animation the emotions are of those of an 11-year-old girl named Riley, up until this age Riley had lived a life filled with joy until her family chose to move across the country. Everything in her life began to go wrong, being overtaken by sadness.

Joy is the engine that gets the rest of the emotions happy. Also, she always knows what to do when Riley is upset. Since Joy is the main emotion and always knows what to do, she is seen as the leader throughout the movie. Furthermore, since her main emotion is Joy that is a majority of Riley’s personality. The other emotions have key roles too, but nothing as big as Joy’s. Joy also takes the blame whenever Riley is upset and tries to figure out what she can do to help make her happy. Everyone has a different personality in this world and it just depends what emotions they let control their lives. If they let anger dictate a lot of their life they are going to be an angry person a majority of the time and their personality will have to deal with anger. If they are sad and let sadness dictate themselves as a person and they are always crying over things that make them sad, their personality is going to revolve around being sad. Also, if someone is always happy and brings joy to everything they do. That person is going to have a joyful personality. Everyone is different in their own way. The results of these personalities and what emotion is seen the most regularly deals with the people they put yourself around and the ones that raised them. In The Achievement Habit, Roth explains, “we are influenced by our teachers and parents” (196). He is saying that we are influenced a lot by the people we surround ourselves with and never try to be

Riley was born in Minnesota. Since she was born in Minnesota, she was used to the snow and she loves to play hockey. Riley has five emotions which live in her brain. Headquarters or what we would know as Riley's conscious mind is where all of the emotions live at. The emotions were Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. These emotions control or influence Riley's actions and memories by operating on a control console. Riley's new memories are stored on a wall; however all the new memories are sent a bigger storage compartment right before Riley goes to sleep. The most important memories are also called "core" memories. These "core" memories are stored in headquarters. Riley's "core" memories power five "islands" in her mind. All these islands reflect different aspects in Riley's personality and her life. Joy is the dominant emotion within all the five emotions. This is important because people tend to be happy all the time rather than any other emotions. Riley has to maintain in a happy state. Joy and the other emotions did not understand why Sadness is even an important emotion because at the beginning of the movie all the emotions believe Sadness just ruins everything and they believe Sadness's only purpose is to make Riley
