Each morning I awake, I watch the morning news to get some information about what's going on in the world. Whether it's a report about a house burning down and killing the entire family trapped inside or hijacked airplanes crashing into buildings killing thousands of innocent people, there is usually that one headline that makes you feel sad as a result of seeing it. As you watch various Television Shows, Movies, and even Commercials, you discover that writers and producers try to create a scenario or plot that will leave you with the same effect as that news report.
Sadness is a simple, general term, ranging in implication from a mild, momentary unhappiness to a feeling of intense grief. Watching the news report about the fire or the hijacked airplanes might leave you with this emotion. Writers use this to their advantage when writing scripts to help make their shows leave a longer effect on the audience.
The TV show "Cowboy Bebop" is an animated series on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The series consist of twenty-nine episodes. During these episodes, you are introduced to a character named Spike who is running away from his past. However his past is catching up to him. The show is written so that you get to put yourself in Spike's shoes and so, you don't want anything to happen to him. He has some adventures that he survives but in the final episode he gets killed seeking revenge for Julia "his girlfriend" who was killed by the villain in the story. As a result, you end up feeling sadness and sometimes sympathy for him.
The movie "The Sixth Sense" was a box office hit when it was in theatres. This movie is about a boy who is haunted by ghosts that he alone is able to see and the psychologist who decide to try to help him. This movie left me feeling sad because the boy considers himself a freak and becomes an outcast due to the fact that he doesn't understand why it is happening to him.
