We’re the bran muffin of journalism.īut you know what? We change lives.

We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight.

This area of regret is also something I am interested in looking into because I want my own character to regret what she says.About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: She goes through a transformation in the film from being a free spirit who didn’t care to follow the rules and act out – to regretting how she treats her mother who only cares for her. Merida is also very expressive she will show when she doesn’t feel happy about something – in addition she is passionate about how she feels. She doesn’t acts against the role because she is being told to do something that isn’t who she is. She hated performing the tasks that she is made to do. At the start of the film Merida is very ‘stroppy’ in following the strict roles of a female royal princess. Merida from Pixar’s Brave is a good character to analyse for a ‘stroppy’ / expressive character. I wanted to look at a character in 3D animation to help me with my character performance. Aside from the many other references that I have found for the ‘stroppy’ character that I would like to create for my final animation (which you can find in the below posts).
