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
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."

"On Being Crazy", 2004.

1,053 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 36.95

Click here to show/hide summary
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 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
This paper takes a look at African American art. The paper analyzes Richard Wright's text "Joe Louis Uncovers Dynamite" and John Stewart Curry's painting "Mississippi".
From the Paper
"As the Great Depression took its toll on numerous Americans on a daily basis, something also very critical was taking place within the society; the construction of new identities. A number of artists and writers saw this movement and felt their desire to portray the reality into their works including articles and paintings. Their perspectives on the African Americans - an ethnic group which has been constantly oppressed and discriminated against - in the 1930s was focused on the process of African Americans' works on establishing their own new identity; identity that is strong enough to protect their rights and pride against the prejudiced and discriminating society. For example, texts such as "Joe Louis Uncovers Dynamite" by Richard Wright and John Stewart Curry's painting "Mississippi" reflect the reality of circumstances and conflicts African Americans were faced with and the process of overcoming them throughout the 1930s."

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? "

How is the Yellow Wall Paper Crazy?, 2002.
Comparing and contrasting Charlotte Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" and Bobbie Ann Mason's "Shiloh".
1,331 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 0 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

"A Rose for Emily", 2005.
This paper discusses the main character of William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" in terms of her crazy mental state.
1,470 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in his short story "A Rose for Emily", William Faulkner portrays the unsettling realities which lurk beneath the seemingly complacent facades of provincial southern society by showing the reader the dark secret of Emily's homicidal impulses. The author argues that Emily is crazy, even if in the story the townspeople want to defend her from this accusation; even though there is a
certain amount of gossip among the townspeople, they are consistently on her side, as is shown by their support of her relationship with Horace. The paper relates that, in terms of the townspeople and relational mental states, Faulkner seemed to be using the collective town as a sort of narrator.
From the Paper
"Before we know of her crime, Emily is described by Faulkner as being "dear, inescapable, impervious, tranquil, and perverse." A close reading of the story can reveal the characteristics of Emily as she is
seen by the author as well as other critics in each of these categorizations, and according to her mental state. "Generations of Faulkner devotees are familiar with the tale of the reclusive spinster who, by means of murder and necrophilia, wages a battle to the death
with time and change in the town of Jefferson. Scholars and critics have long agreed that the story unfolds through episodes that reflect the thematic contrast between past and present. By being stuck in the past too much, Emily's mental state is compromised."

Film: Alison Anders' "Mi Vida Loca", 2005.
An analysis of the themes of gender and sexuality in Alison Anders' 1993 film "Mi Vida Loca" ("My Crazy Life") from a critical feminist perspective.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains, in detail, the gender and sexuality themes in Alison Anders' "Mi Vida Loca" ("My Crazy Life"), which realistically describes the lives of young Mexican-American women in Los Angeles who are involved in gangs, drugs and sexual activities. The writer believes that, Anders' own feminist agenda and ideology, such as non-normative gender roles, which challenge the traditional confinement of women to domesticity, seem to standout more than her stated goal to humanize people who don't get represented in film. The paper cites many feminist critics and relates their ideas to the film and concludes that Anders' feminism is not adequate. The paper uses MLA style footnotes rather than a works cited page.
From the Paper
"Anders' film fails to break from this patriarchal, phallocentric logic. Only by adopting masculinized gender roles and possessing the phallus (carrying guns) can the Locas construct their agency. Anders doesn't allow for alternate sources of female strength, only for women to act as male substitutes. After Giggles leaves Sleepy's place, the night she affirms her independence and strength, her style of dress does a one-eighty. While previously she tended to wear skirts and dresses, when she organizes the Locas she is wearing pants and a wife-beater."

Standing Up For What is Right with Silver Rights, 2008.
This paper looks at the story of 'Silver Rights' by Constance Curry.
920 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the story of 'Silver Rights', the story of Carters of Mississippi, is a story of seemingly unshakable faith and courage. The writer notes that the Carters were sharecroppers, individuals who were virtually one step above slavery, tied to the land in an unfair system where they could never make enough money to own their land and to escape the grip of white land owners. They lived and labored on a cotton plantation, almost like slaves. The writer explains that the state government of Mississippi was controlled by whites, and blacks had little voice or political support within the community. Even poor whites, looking for someone to demonize because of the terrible circumstances of their own condition, looked down upon African-Americans in their midst.
From the Paper
" As a result of their actions, the family was threatened with violence, and their children were harassed in school. They lost their jobs and their homes on the cotton plantation where blacks had worked for generations. The father, Matthew Carter, was denied a job anywhere else, and their home was riddled with gunfire. Even the children were treated like pariahs, as the teachers mocked the young Carters for their appearance, their hygiene, and even rotated seating partners, so that white children would not have to sit next to black children. The book is honest about the emotional trauma and abuse experienced by the children. The Carter children were subject to bullying and intimidation that would result, today, in lawsuits, even if the words wielded by the teacher were not racially charged--which they were. The children had to assume an emotional responsibility far beyond their years, and they knew that no one in authority at the school, not the principal, teachers, or administrators, wanted them there or would protect them. They only had their faith and their family. Even the youngest Carter children enrolled in school, age six, had a sense of what the family was sacrificing, for the children to attend school."

Moral Education as a Function of Fiction as Viewed through the Medium of Cinema, 2000.
This paper examines the concept of learning morality through film or fiction by drawing comparisons between the two theories of Noel Currie and Gregory Carroll.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses moral understanding, using the theories of Currie and Carroll. The paper is broken down into three parts in which moral understanding is defined, personal morality is determined and imagination and morality are argued as one and the same, thereby concluding that imagination leads to moral decision making which leads to a potential for novel moral understanding.
From the Paper
"Fundamentally, cinema bears a rather foreboding problem for the individual that may be seeking something more than entertainment. That is to say, attempting to learn from fiction inherently carries the portentous weight of potential error, depending on what one attempts to learn and exactly what method that individual intends to implement to learn those things. One thing that seems to be an established agreement amongst many of the thinkers in this field is that, in order to garner factual information from fiction, one must already have a clear understanding and basis for what is fact in the real world. In bringing that preconceived judgment to fictional cinema, one can, hopefully, differentiate and regulate the information that he receives and considers as fact. Morality, however, presents a fundamentally alternate approach, as what can be considered moral, for all intents and purposes, differs from one individual to the next. Thusly, drawing moral education from fiction relies far more heavily on the learner's personal stances and experiences rather than on his background knowledge of reality."
