JOY - Riley Matthews
Riley Matthews is the main character of the show; Girl Meets World. She has a very bubbly personality, oftentimes happy and excited about life in general and the experiences she undergoes during her life. However, Riley is quick to feel defeated and can carry a very pessimistic attitude. I tend to be pessimistic at times as well and am quick to lose my happy nature when something goes wrong. Like Riley, I am capable of feeling immense feelings of happiness, however there are always fleeting moments of pessimism. Seeing as Riley displays a wide scale regarding her happiness and is a generally happy character, but not overly optimistic, she becomes a perfect candidate to represent my “Joy”.
SADNESS - Squidward
Squidward is a character in the Spongebob series. He is commonly associated with being miserable, depressed, and genuinely unhappy. He doesn’t take part in the frivolous and often times stupid fun activities alongside Patrick and Spongebob and instead takes on a very serious demeanor. Squidward enjoys higher qualities in life such as classical music, literature, and art and tends to hold childish activities in a low regard. Seeing as Squidward doesn’t enjoy similar things as the other characters and the majority of them don’t appreciate Squidward’s values, he is isolated and lonely, overall creating a miserably sad character. In regards to myself, I also don’t share common interests with lots of my peers and get upset if there is a lack of mutual understanding and appreciation between friends. While both Squidward and I are not primarily sad characters, we both become sad when experiencing similar situations. Due to our shared reactions and tendencies, I believe Squidward is an accurate representation of my “Sadness”.
FEAR - Arnold Perlstein
Arnold Perlstein is a character in the Magic School Bus series, most commonly known for his timid and anxious nature. In every episode or movie, the class accompanied by their teacher, Ms. Frizzle, travel on adventurous journeys to explore different aspects of science. While his peers are thrilled with the opportunities provided by the magical bus, Arnold is oftentimes hesitant and reluctant to participate as he is afraid. He lets his irrational fears of all the “what if’s” determine his behavior and completely alter his experiences negatively. In reference to my personal experiences with fear, I too tend to overthink and allow my feelings of fear to prohibit me from having an enjoyable experience or sometimes stop me from engaging in events all together. Seeing as Arnold and I share these similar tendencies, I believe that he would be a very accurate representation of my fear and be able to fully express my fear if he were to be cast as my “Fear”.
ANGER - Cersei Lannister
Cersei Lannister was a powerful Queen in the show; Game of Thrones. She is noted to be very cold at times, often known as ruthless. She is devoted to her family and maintaining their royal stature. Those who in danger her family or cross her are not met with impulsive and unbecoming angry reactions. Instead, Cersei carries out her revenge with methodical plans. She is rarely not composed and only becomes truly angry when met with serious events. I also don’t get angry easily and usually don’t lose composure and instead choose a more thought out plan of action, making Cersei a fitting candidate for my “Anger”.
DISGUST - Dwight Schrute
Dwight Schrute is a popular character in The Office series. Dwight is characterized as rude, egotistical, and judgmental; however, it is important to note that all of these traits stem from his superiority complex. Dwight struggles with validation and must be considered superior over other coworkers. He constantly strives to be in control or on top as well, especially in reference to his long term goal of becoming a regional manager. Therefore, Dwight then holds himself to a higher standard and expects his coworkers to also maintain a rigorous, hard working attitude at work as well. Any person or action that is not up to his high expectations, is immediately met with Dwight’s judgment and disgust. Seeing as I also hold very high expectations of myself in order to obtain success, I too can quickly become frustrated or judgmental of others who lack certain qualities or don’t behave in an appropriate manner. Dwight’s judgmental character and high standards, therefore make him a perfect candidate to represent my “Disgust”.
