Uneased
Emotions are part of us no matter how much we try to escape them. We have the power to choose between them and have a choice to hold them within or released them. To bottle emotions whiting us is like, an overcharge generator ready to explode at any time, and can contribute to our uncoordinated output of our moods and actions. Releasing emotions can bring a soothing calmness and relief, and one will be able to be to manage their emotions by expressing them without ease. Carelessly we repress our emotions to agree with societies view of us. Some Are shape into soldiers to feel anything but inner manliness, but in the end, emotions are what makes us human and sane.
In the story “The Red Convertible” by the protagonist brother, henry was unease and uncontrolled when he came back from war. Henrys actions signify that he was suffering from a mood cause by suppressing emotions (135).
In the psychological essay, “Tyranny of Gloom” by Robert A.
Jonson’s goes into more depth of the concept of a mood. The writer calls the mood a gloom, to describe that a mood is a “dark state of mind” that disconnects a man from coming into senses in his life. The gloom of a man is brought upon a man’s “uprush emotion” that emerges from the rejection of getting in touch with his emotional side that is portrait as “feminine” (Jonson’s 125). A suppress emotion comes with all sort of moods that Robert describe an “overwhelming” force that impairs a man reasoning. A man that neglects to find a reason or come into connection with his emotion is prone to a have a mood uprising which takes control of his life. The upraise mood can be forecast into his everyday life, for example, one can be crossing his arms with a grumpy face, react with rage and uncontrolled sadness for the littlest of things, would want to be left alone on all times, will tremble when sitting down or standing up. Robert signifies women as the number one victim of a man projected negative energy because “she is more at home with the feeling, irrational dimension of life” (127). The woman is more attached to their emotions so a man will look for that because he wouldn’t project those emotions himself to protect the manly figure, however, the man is prone to convey those emotions due to the woman figure in his life but repressing those feelings to a
mood.
Henry the protagonist brother from “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdritch, presented the mood concept that Roberts A. Jonson’s implemented in his essay. At the beginning of the story henry was intact with his “feminine” part of himself. In one of the scenes he carried Susy, a girl they met with long hair, and henry spanned her around on his shoulder saying “I always wondered how it felt to have long hair “(erdritch 136). Henry showed that he’s connected and can show off his emotions by spinning her around and being goofy towards her hair, however once he came back from the war henry change. When henry was home, Lyman notices that something was very different about him. He explains that Hendry was “never comfortable sitting still anywhere but always up and moving around” and people left him alone because he was “jumpy and mean” (erdritch 137). Never sitting still portraits what Robert A Jonson describe as “overwhelming” in henry. The unstill characterizes henry as suffering from an “uprush emotion” as said in Robert essay. Henry was overpowered by these suppress emotions and became overwhelm that he couldn’t sit still in one place. What the mood upraises from the lock emotions was him being mean and jumpy toward people.
Being in the gloom is overwhelming, however, Johnson disclosed that a gloom can be conquered by one.

As explain in “tyranny of gloom” henry get in control of his emotions and starts improving little by little by working on the red convertible.
