Abstract
This paper analyzes the satire in the 1990 film "Crazy People" directed by Tony Bill. The paper explains that the satire focuses on the field of advertising and the institutionalization of the film's main character for telling the truth in ads.

From the Paper
"The film "Crazy People" satirizes the field of advertising, the work pressures of the executive world and the usual course of personal relationships. Specifically, the film satirizes the ways people lie to each other in these three areas by pointing out how absurd it is that people who care about other people are considered crazy while people who care only about money are considered sane and successful. "Crazy People" begins by introducing advertising executive Emory Leeson who is frustrated with his life..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the Native-American historian and anthropologist Joseph Marshall III is the author of many previous books on Lakota culture. But the warrior Crazy Horse is more than an important part of Lakota history in Marshall's estimation. Crazy Horse was also Marshall's boyhood hero. The writer discusses that with the value of adult wisdom and respect, Marshall attempts to craft a biography of Crazy Horse that presents the life of the proud Lakota warrior and leader that transcends the myths Crazy Horse's life spawned in both the tales of Native Americans and white historians. The writer notes that Marshall admits his subjectivity, and states that it is impossible to gain a full portrait of Crazy Horse in an objective fashion, given that the symbol of Crazy Horse has transcended the man who walked the earth. The writer points out that Marshall, instead, offers clarifications about the facts pertaining to Crazy Horse's most famous victory and muses upon what Crazy Horse means to whites and to native peoples today. The writer maintains that this is, given the imperfect nature of history, as clear a portrait as one can access of Crazy Horse.

From the Paper
"Marshall attempts to provide a historical context to the battle, to Crazy Horse's entire life and military career. He persuasively demonstrates that Little Big Horn was not an anomaly, or simply the result of a desire for violence or a violation of the rules of combat. For example, another of this warrior's great feats was winning Battle of the Rosebud also near Buffalo, Wyoming, in which Crazy Horse and his men fought General George Crook only eight days prior to the glorious days of Little Bighorn. There, Crazy Horse established a critical advantage over the federal forces by preventing Crook's men from joining Custer.
"Despite his skill in battle, however, Crazy Horse was not crazy. In fact, no one could be 'crazy' and show the calculated, tactical success he did in the field. Crazy Horse put his people before his own needs. He later surrendered rather at Fort Robinson because he wanted to ensure survival of his Lakota people. But this did not besmirch his reputation in Native American history."

Abstract
The writer of this paper explores the journey of the main character in Joseph M. Marshall's biography "The Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota Story" as one of immense conflict and personal change. This paper compares the main character of Crazy Horse to Jesus Christ. The paper discusses how Jesus was betrayed by those who were close to him just as Crazy Horse was.

From the Paper
"The final scene shows Crazy Horse putting up one last fight against those who have been out to get him for so long. They are trying one last time to get him to surrender himself, but he refuses. Surrendering to the white men would be a rejection of all the morals that he upheld throughout his life. This would mean that he would not die as a hero but as an anti-hero. He would be giving up all that he stood for and would forsake those who followed him."

Abstract
This paper explains how "On Being Crazy" is Du Bois's reminiscence of his experiences with the "crazy" whites, mindlessly fanatic against the ideals of social equality. It points out that, with a tinge of satire, Du Bios brings out the irrationality of racism, juxtaposing it against the rationality of seeing things with reference to their immediate significance, convincing a rational mind of the craziness of racism.

From the Paper
""On Being Crazy" is Du Bois' satirical stab at the white chauvinism. The genius of Du Bois comprehends the power of satire in addressing issues that would otherwise be very difficult to address. "On Being Crazy" starts with Du Bois seating himself among whites in a restaurant to satiate his hunger, when his table companions ask: "do you wish to force your company on those who do not want you?" an outrageous remark to an un-provocative companion to which his wittingly-straight rational reply is "No" I wish to eat.? To the "crazy" whites' suggestion that his actions meant social equality he says humorously: " Nothing of the sort, sir, it is hunger". Later at the theatre when the lady frowns at him that he was "not wanted" there, his reason rubs against the white intolerance again as he replies "I certainly want the music, and I like to think the music wants me to listen to it" implying that to be the only and necessary reason of him being there."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Crazy Horse was a private man, in some ways corresponding to the media stereotype of the "strong, silent Indian." The paper posits that he would have been hard to get to know at the time, however, what is clear is that Crazy Horse fought gallantly, bravely, and intelligently for a losing cause.

From the Paper
"Crazy Horse, war chief of the Oglala Lakota nation of American Indians (more popularly known as the Sioux) was born about 1840 in what is now the state of South Dakota. Sources vary as to the exact date of Crazy Horse's birth. His father, however, said that he was killed (September 5, 1877) just before his 37th birthday (Sandoz 1). Names among the American Indians at the time were indefinite, and could change in during the bearer's lifetime. Nicknames were also used. Crazy..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Amulya Malladi's "Serving Crazy with Curry" is about the lives of four women and their perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses they exhibit based on their own and others' ideas of their gender roles. The author points out that each woman's life represents a myth of who they are and how others see them. The paper relates that the work of the individual characters in the novel is to come to terms with the truth and their own hidden feelings and to reconcile this truth with how they perceive other people view them and their cultural and institutional gender identities, which will lead to their healing.

From the Paper
"The work details the life of a family in cultural transition as they navigate through difficult times and then individually and collectively run head long into gender role identity. The novel describes the lives of three generations of Indian women through the eyes of four emotionally challenged women and two emotionally challenged men. The family endures the tragedies that befall it through attempts at expressions of love that often end in misunderstandings but eventually through almost forced togetherness through tragedy each one comes to terms with the other to form a tight bond of love and friendship, despite continued and even accepted gender expectations."

Abstract
This paper describes "Crazy" Eddie Anatar's case from the sociological perspective of white-collar crime.

Abstract
The paper studies Sigmund Freud and his many theories about sexuality. It details his early childhood and how his theories are used today. It also describes his way of dividing life into five stages: the Oral stage, the Anal stage, the Phallic Stage, the Latency stage, and finally the Genital stage. It concludes by examining the question of Freud's sanity, was he crazy or just a genius?

From the Paper
"Sigmund Freud is best known for his theories about sexuality and how an individual develops from it. In his eyes, sexual development is the main focus of psychopathology. Even though his theories were very controversial they were the most influential in his time and even today are still held very highly in some societies. So, who was this "rebellious" man? What are his theories? Are his theories really valuable today? "

Abstract
This paper discusses the struggle between reason and passion in the depiction of love in the play "Othello," by Shakespeare, and the poems "Laustic" and "Lanval," by Marie de France. The writer first explains how, in the beginning of Shakespeare's play, Othello trusts Desdemona and even when Iago arouses jealousy in him by playing on his emotions, and still wants proof of Desdemona's infidelity before he doubts her. The tragedy takes place because although Othello's sense of reason is strong at first, his powerful emotions gradually take over. The writer then shows how Marie de France's "Laustic" represents self control and reason while "Lanval" represents the madness of love. After analyzing the poems, the paper concludes that, because acting reasonably when it comes to love often causes more heartache, the madness of love and its feelings and passion usually triumphs.

From the Paper
"Many people tend to make choices based on what they think and know instead of on how they feel. For example, in Shakespeare's Othello there is a major struggle for Othello between what he is being told and what he is seeing, and what he feels for Desdemona. Othello starts out with a pure relationship with Desdemona. He loves her and he trusts her because she has given him no reason not to. Iago becomes very angry at Othello because he chose Michael Cassio for lieutenant instead of Iago. In a ploy to get even, Iago begins to plant seeds of jealousy in Othello's heart. He starts by suggesting that an innocent conversation between Desdemona and Cassio is not so innocent. Iago does not come right out and say that Desdemona is being unfaithful but he does not deny the question either. By refusing to give a straight answer, Iago causes Othello to suspect the two even more."

Abstract
This paper compares these two works and goes through the mental states of the characters. The writer shows how Bobbie Ann Mason?s "Shiloh" is the definition of a normal short story, with its easy to follow plot as well as clear beginning and end. However, Charlotte Perkins Gilman?s "The Yellow Wallpaper", makes little to no sense on the first reading. What contributes to making "The Yellow Wallpaper" so difficult to clearly understand at first is the unorthodox storyline and complex language used by the narrator.

From the Paper
"The simplicity of Shiloh is clearly evident after reading the very first paragraph of the story. An example from the first page of the text is, "Leroy is a truck driver. He injured his leg in a highway accident four months ago" Nothing spells mundane more than those lines from this text. The name Leroy in addition to his truck driving career equates to normality in the reader's mind. People can identify with such a common name, and his average profession. Leroy has a wife Norma Jean, and a mother-in-law who annoys both of them. Leroy is rehabilitating from the aforementioned injury he obtained while on a long drive in his truck at which time he was under the influence of the drug Speed. People get in automobile accidents, and people often take drugs to make their lives appear better than they really are. Leroy is like a lot like these people, who work less than spectacular jobs, and want to take drugs as a way to lessen the feeling that they are wasting away their lives."
