3. Joy is an optimistic character and
Riley's first character. Joy always
tries to make Riley feel happy.
Riley's feelings are dominated by
Joy, the memory of joy that
dominates Joy's feelings forms a
core memory which then forms
Riley's personality, which is
called personality island.
4. Sadness is a character who raises
Riley in his sad times, Sadness
just like Joy wants to make Riley
feel happy. But none of the other
four characters can understand
Sadness, they just think that
Sadness can only make Riley feel
sad. Sadness would feel even sadder
and then apologize to the other
feelings that she didn't mean to
upset Riley. But even so Sadness
was the one who could throw Riley's
idea of returning to his old
village, and back to his parents.
From this we can learn that sadness
is not always a bad thing. Sadness
can teach us about certain things
that will later bring happiness.
5. Disgust is a character who controls
Riley's tastes. Disgust is the most
honest feeling to sort out who
Riley can be friends with, not only
that but also about food and the
dangerous things that might happen.
So it was Disgust who decided which
group he should join. Disgust is
also one of the characters who
tries to maintain Riley's emotional
state in Joy's absence. However,
they failed and even further
distanced Riley from his parents.
6. Anger is a character who always
upholds justice and ensures that
Riley always gets justice in
everything. Anger is the one who
controls when Riley is angry or
emotional about something he
doesn't like. But behind all that
Anger also wants Riley to stay
happy, it can be seen when Joy
leaves the emotion control center,
Anger continues to wait for Joy's
arrival because he can't control
every angry feeling so he will
continue to get angry when he
doesn't get what he wants.
7. Fear is a character who can protect
Riley. When Riley feels
uncomfortable then Fear will
control Riley, like when Riley was
playing and almost got electrocuted
Fear tried to keep Riley from being
electrocuted. But Fear often feels
afraid and panicked in certain
conditions.
9. The character Joy is responsible for making all of Riley’s memories happy.
Sadness makes Riley cry and keeps her from suppressing stresses and negative
emotions that can start over. Disgust prevents access to objects/foods with
a foul odor, reducing their impact on expired or disease-causing items.
Anger helps Riley release her repressed emotions in the form of an explosion
of sadness or anger, but powerfully. Fear gives a sense of self-preservation
to protect her from life-threatening situations.
11. The most dominant feelings of Riley was Joy, because Riley's feelings are
dominated by Joy, the memory of joy that dominates Joy's feelings forms a
core memory which then forms Riley's personality, which is called
personality island.
12. Which characters
attempt to block
the expressions of
particular
feelings? How do
they do so? Do you
find yourself
blocking feelings
consistently?
13. Joy was the character who attempted to block the other feelings because she
wanted Riley to have only joyful memories and feelings. Yes, sometimes I
found myself blocking my feelings consistently when the time that I
pretended that I am not affected by the things that is happening around me.
