Emotions within the characters
By investigating the scenario, the emotions of Steven were identified according to his reaction to Lucy’s relationship news. The emotions that were identified were anger and sadness. The emotions were identified by using Plutchick’s Emotion Wheel. Anger and Sadness are two primary emotions from the main 8 primary emotions on the wheel. The primary emotions are combined with less intensity emotions on the wheel, angry is combined to aggressiveness and sadness is combined to disapproval.

Over dinner one night, Lucy admits to Steven that she is having an affair. Steven shocks by what he his hearing from Lucy. Just to conform that, Steven asked Lucy, “Are you actually having an affair, since how long??? Lucy thought that Steven would go crazy at her but he didn’t, so she told him that she has being having affair since last 2 months. Steven’s facial expressions shows that his heart is broken. Steven controls his anger and simply replies, “Thanks for letting me know about your life and I hope you have a great life ahead you” After this Steven leaves the dining room and walks to his
Strong emotions towards another can cause one to act irrationally. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak Rudy, Liesel, and her foster father Hans develop strong emotions towards others that cause them to act rashly. Rudy’s, Liesel’s, and Hans’s actions illustrate the unreasonable actions caused by strong feelings towards another.
What is an emotion? William James and Jean-Paul Sartre present two different arguments regarding what constitutes an emotion. This paper will explore William James' analysis of emotion as set out in his 1884 essay . It will attempt to discover the main points of his view, and then present Sartre's rebuttal of this view taken from his essay on emotions . Concluding with an explanation regarding why Sartre's account is flawed and James's argument is the stronger of the two, it will use outside examples to demonstrate the various weaknesses and strengths within the two perspectives.
For example, on his first date with Lenina, Lenina states ”I’d rather be myself. Just as the Author finishes his elaboration of how despicable the World State successfully disclosed lovesickness, and everything that goes along with frustrated desire. John gives the reader the first glimpse into a character’s private thoughts. This character is one who is lovesick, jealous, and suggestively angry towards his sexual rivals. John subtly expresses his anger towards Henry Foster and Benito Hoover, whom are two characters from the novel that are very different from him.
The character’s demeanour changes the entire atmosphere of the movie due to experiencing serious trauma through bullying in childhood. The
With nobody but herself at home, Ann strongly desires to talk to someone, and that someone who arrives at her house is Steven. Ann who has been feeling anxious and helpless while isolated suddenly feels relief when Steven comes as shown, “-and suddenly at the assurance of his touch and voice the fear that had been gripping her gave way to an hysteria of relief.” Steven helps comfort Ann, while Ann is being cautious of herself. She knows that Steven is enticing, but will not give in to him despite how attractive she finds him. Steven is the complete opposite of John and Ann compares John to Steven multiple times, “Steven’s smile, and therefore difficult to reprove. It lit up his lean, still-boyish face with a peculiar kind of arrogance: features and smile that were different from John’s.” and even favours Steven more than her husband. Ann is used to seeing John’s features but not Steven’s. This excites Ann and prompts her to develop feelings that are of a high school girls’, “She didn’t understand, but she knew. The texture of the moment was satisfyingly dreamlike.” It takes Ann a moment to realize that her object of temptation is right in front of her, and it does not take long for her to take the opportunity to ease her boredom and isolation through her upcoming
Ann is justified in her decision to "sleeps" with Steven, John’s friend. John has not been paying much attention to Ann and he leaves her alone in their house with Steven. Ann also has prior feelings for Steven from when they where in school together. Ann felt that she is unimportant to John because he frequently leaves her alone; she states, "It isn't right to leave me here alone. Surely I'm as important as your father." Ann just wants to feel loved by John but because he doesn't make her feel loved. She sees Steven as the only person who can give her the love and affection she needs.
3.) sThe mood that exists in the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers is a depressing one. You are sharing emotions with Steve as he goes through a grueling court procedure. Thinking about all this, how bad it is to be in jail, the murder of an innocent man makes you feel depressed. I think Walter Dean Myers wanted to incorporate that mood for his readers into the story and thoroughly succeeded.
The other emotion highly present from the beginning is that of the attitude of Robert. We are introduced to what appears to be a quick witted and pleasant man, especially considering the recent death of his wi...
Emotions manifest themselves in people through various ways. Some individuals are very expressive of their emotions while others are highly impassive of their feelings, and most people are in-between these two polarities. The movie Napoleon Dynamite, illustrates the behaviour and emotions of individuals who are extremely impassive. Despite the immense lack of emotions in the film, there are still elements of emotion exemplified, such as psychological responses, subjective feelings, and expressive behaviour.
The Outsiders is a great novel for the topic emotions. Throughout the novel there are many signs of different emotions; Such as sad, happy, exciting,depressed,and nervous. There are many to choose from but, there are three major examples. The first major emotion was the happiest. There were several details in the book that expressed the happiest moments. One of the happiest moments was when Johnny and Ponyboy helped the children get out of the burning church. They had just got back from eating at Dairy Queen with Dally. As they were on their way home they drove passed the church where they were staying. When they saw that the church was on fire they jumped out out of the car and ran up to the church. There were people all around the church,
However, emotions are narrowed down to seven primary emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, contempt, and surprise. All of these emotions are universal and are expressed similarly around the world. Five out of the seven emotions are expressed during the film. We come to know joy (happiness), sadness, anger, disgust, and fear. Each emotion is assigned a color.

Reading it on a page, it is easy to envision the emotions his face would take and the body language he would use, however the interpretation of it while acting it out is appealing and extremely accurate. When lost in thought or overcome by feeling, his eyes tend to glaze over almost, as if his body is there but mind not so much. When he is overcome with emotion, his voice softens as though to be delicate and when angry his voice rises and the facial expressions mimic the internal feeling. When he is hysterical from learning the truths regarding his father’s death, his motions are scattered, his speech is detached. When he is said to be going through his phase of madness, his erratic behavior accentuates complete madness, his way of speech, his mannerisms.
Emotion has a major role that it plays in the learning environment (Cleveland-Innes & Campbell, 2012). Educational psychologists believe the motivation, achievements, and the overall educational performance has a direct correlation to the human emotion (Cleveland-Innes & Campbell, 2012). That statement alone reflects the significant role that emotion plays in education. There is a major need for human emotion to be displayed in the educational environment and it really does not matter whether it is a brick and mortar class or an online learning environment; emotion must and in fact does play a role.
Have you ever wondered why people have certain reactions? I chose chapter eight on emotions for my reflection paper because emotions are something that everyone has and feels, yet cannot always explain or react to in the way you would expect. Personally, I have never been great at responding to emotions in a way that I would not regret in the future. Thus, naturally being drawn to this chapter as a way to expand my knowledge on how to react to things more positively. I also wanted to learn why I feel a certain way after events that would not affect most people and be reassured about my feelings. Opposite to that, it is nice to see that, while not always productive, others have the same reaction habits. Overall, emotions are a complicated
