Complete 6 pages APA formatted article: The Rewards and Challenges of Sharing a Life Together in Marriage in Ten Little Indians by Sherman Alexie. The writer does not tire from giving his readers exclusive snippets of the life of Sharon and David including the not so good ones. Ultimately their shared life comes to an abrupt halt after almost fifty years of companionship when Sharon ‘lay on her deathbed’ (pp. 168). Even in death, their love is still evident in the four children that they had sired together: they cried and hugged her and left them alone (pp. 168). This article is a continuation of this love story and analyzes the rewards and challenges of sharing a life together in marriage.

Mental health and happiness are perhaps one of the best-portrayed advantages of marriage in the short story. Though no direct linkage is drawn to show that David or Sharon’s good mental state was achieved through the sharing of their life, it is evident that they ended up being happy by being together. The writer writes that ‘her joy was always rowdy, rude and pervasive’ (pp. 152). The benefits of companionship in relation to good mental health and happiness are varied in nature and cannot be exhausted in writing. When he did not see Sharon for one month, David ‘assumed that Sharon had left him forever’ (pp. 158). This was a clear sign that he was in distress. Most importantly, a person’s attitude towards life is clearly enhanced giving one a positivist approach in life. Ever since the time of their meeting, David and Sharon did little things together that made their life full of happiness. Actually, even when they faced the largest threat to their marriage – when Sharon was unfaithful – they still resolved the issue to ensure their continued happiness. Clearly, were it not for the earlier strong foundation that the two had built at the beginning of their dating life, their marriage would have crumbled at that point. David confesses that they ‘were inseparable’ and ‘ate their meals together and fed each other’ (pp. 151).

Complete 3 pages APA formatted article: Analysis of Economic Fluctuations in the United States. The correlograms of all the variables except the government non-wage income become zero from the third-order ones. This shows that all the variables except the government’s non-wage income describe fluctuating trends in the period of analysis. The government’s non-wage income show a steady rising trend in the period of analysis. The correlogram of this variable is not gradually declining and remains the same. The scatter plots show that there is a significant positive correlation between income and consumption. Though a positive correlation can be seen in income and investment, it is not so significant compared to the previous one.

The OLS estimation for consumption shows the perfect model fit. The coefficients for wage income and profit income are positive and significant. One percent rise in wage income leads to a significant rise of 19 percent consumption while a one percent rise in wage income leads to a significant rise of 79 percent in consumption. The actual and fitted values of Consumption show perfect fit, as shown from the graphs in appendix 2. The 2SLS estimation shows that only wage income is significant in determining consumption. Here the coefficient for wage income has increased to 81.6 percent compared to the OLS estimation. At the same time, profit income lost its significance here. The actual and fitted values show a perfect fit in this case also.

For the estimation of investment with OLS, current, and lagged values of profit income are positive and significant while the lagged value of the capital stock is significant and negative in determining investment. One percent rise in current and lagged&nbsp.values of profit income leads to a significant rise of 47.9 and 33.3 percent in investment while a one percent rise in lagged capital stock value leads to a significant decline of 11.2 percent in the investment.
