Introduction to Piece Three

The piece that I wrote analytically was my definition paper, So Many Reasons to be Mad, which defines the many meanings of the simple word “mad.” A part where I analyzed well was when I found the history for some of the meanings. For example, to describe insanity as be “as mad as a hatter” came from hat manufacturers getting brain damage and going insane from the contact of mercury while making felt hats. I really wanted to have fun with this word so I also included a quote from the Mad Hatter in Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland.”
