In literature, a character is a verbal representation of a person as presented by an author through depiction of actions, conversations, descriptions, reactions, thoughts and reflections. In daily life things ‘just happen’ but in literature nothing is accidental. All that appears in a creative work is deliberate, included by the author for a reason, to advance the plot or to develop character. Use “I stand her ironing” by Tillie Olsen and compose an essay that explores the development of a character in the story. Some questions to ask yourself that you may find helpful are: who is the main character or characters? What do you learn about the character from his or her own words and actions? From the words or actions of others? How else do you learn about the character? Does the setting provide any information? Who or what is in opposition to the character? What do you learn about the protagonist from other characters?

Use quotes to support your response and reasons. Type in size 12 font, times new roman, MLA format.

your paper accordingly).

1. Aggregate Demand- Aggregate Supply and Fiscal Policy
• Briefly describe the AD-AS model. Then using the AD-AS framework, explain and illustrate the effect of two of the following events on the short run and the long run equilibrium quantity and price level of the economy. Will this create an inflationary or recessionary gap? What type of fiscal policy(ies) would you recommend to help move the economy back to potential output? Draw a graph (properly labelled) to help illustrate your answer. Be sure to provide the intuition behind what is happening as well as discuss how your recommended policy solution will work in this scenario.
a. A stock market boom increases the value of stocks held by households
b. Firms come to believe that a recession in the near future is likely
c. Anticipating the possibility of war, the government increases its purchases of military equipment.
d. The quantity of money in the economy declines and interest rates increase.

2. Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply and the Government Deficit
• What are some of the potential economic consequences of a growing/persistent budget deficit? How is this related to government debt?
• Some economists want to decrease government spending to reduce government budget deficits. Other economists want to reduce the size of the deficit by raising taxes. Compare these two points of view using aggregate supply and aggregate demand analysis. Illustrate the impacts of each program on the macroeconomy using a correctly labeled AD/AS graph. Does it make a difference if the economy is currently experiencing a recession at the time of the policy’s implementation? Explain.
• Summarize the economic consequences of a balanced budget rule for the federal government and your recommendation on whether or not it should be implemented.

3. Macroeconomic Policy and the Loanable Funds Market
• Assume the government is running a balanced budget when the economy enters a recession. First, define and describe fiscal and monetary policy and outline an expansionary policy response for each. Be sure to explain why your solution would be appropriate to use.
• Use a graph to demonstrate the impact of both fiscal and monetary policy responses on the loanable funds market. Be sure to properly label everything and provide the intuition behind what is happening. What are the potential economic consequences of each response that policy makers should consider when making their decision? Should policy makers be concerned about the crowding out effect in either case? Why/why not?

Choose the theme you want to work with (a certain era like elizabethan or victorian, imagery, symbol, etc.,)

2. Identify the poems that you want to work with. (minimum 4 required…all need to be appropriate for your theme)

3. Give a description of your theme and background to the times when these poets were writing or the poets themselves. I don’t need biographical information, just about their work.

Select a concept that you care about and that you may want to do your final research paper on- and perhaps you even want to work on this issue in your future career! Now, find two dependent variables (DV) that are attempts to measure that concept. One must be interval and one must be ordinal. One must be interval and one must be ordinal (got it?). Remember the first day when you identified the big problems facing the world? Hopefully, there are some questions in the ANES survey that connect to your areas of interest. It is time for you to be the scholar! This assignment will help you for your final paper. If you do your final paper well, this will be evidence that you can conduct independent research, conduct data analysis, and work with SPSS. Good luck.
Name the two variables, how they are coded, and describe their dispersion. Describe how these variables are good measures of the concept you care about.
(Example: Concept: Equality, Measure:

2. Think critically about what independent variables may affect your dependent variables and why. Conduct a brief literature review. What do other scholars argue affects your dependent variable?
List TWO academic journal articles that conduct quantitative analysis on the concept of your interest using standard APA citation guidelines.
How do they measure it?
Where do they collect their data?
What is their research method?

3. YOUR TURN! HYPOTHESIS
Craft two hypotheses on your DVs of interest. Then, select potential intervening variables that may affect your relationship between your IV and DV. YOU CANNOT HAVE AN INTERVAL VARIABLE AS AN INTERVENING VRIABLE
Revise and write down the two hypotheses and indicate: the independent variable, the intervening variable, and the dependent variable in each one.

4. Presenting data well is key to good research. Thus, often you need to recode variables in order to make the information digestible. Also, this helps you refine your research. SPECIFY the relationships you want to investigate. For example, if you think age affects attitudes towards illegal immigrants, can you refine your hypothesis so that it is not all AGES but rather a specific Age that you think is critical for your hypothesis? Such as those over and under 50? Simplify and specify!!!! Most independent and intervening variables should have no more than 4 categories, preferably 3 or less. You want to test a SPECIFIC relationship. So, narrow it down!
Recode your variables into new variables that are more specific.

5. DATA: ORDINAL DEPENDENT VARIABLE HYPOTHESIS: Run a cross tabs analysis for your hypothesis with ordinal dependent variable. One time with the intervening variable, one time without. Be sure to place your independent and dependent variables on the correct axis and to include appropriate percentages.

6. TEST FOR SIGNIFICANCE. Run at least three tests that measure association between the independent and dependent variable (Lambda, Chi-Square, Kendall’s tau-b, Kendall’s tau-c, and/or Somer’s D depending on your variables).
What do you find? Is the relationship significant? Interpret your results.

Extra Credit: Run the tests with an intervening variable and interpret the relationship.

7. INTERVAL DEPENDENT VARIABLE HYPOTHESIS: Run a compare means analysis for your dependent variable that is interval, including your intervening variable. For the dependent interval variable, create a LINE GRAPH to demonstrate a relationship with the independent and intervening variable represented.

8. TEST FOR SIGNIFICANCE. Run a independent sample T-Test.
What do you find? Is the relationship significant? Interpret your results.

9. ANALYSIS: What do your cross-tabs and compare means tests results suggest? Interpret your findings in connection to your hypothesis. WHY do you think this relationship is (or is not significant)? What does this tell us about the general US population? What are other potential measures of your concept? What are other potential explanatory variables?

10. Conclusion: So what?

Alice in Wonderland is a fantastical story full of very colorful characters, but are they sane? Do some research (try http://users.ipfw.edu/abbott/120/PsychDisorders.html) on psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, sociopaths, anxiety, etc. and “diagnose” four of the characters in the story and explain why and how they fit the disorder. Use at least five quotations from the text and/or outside research to support your claims. The essay should be in MLA format. See syllabus for due date.

Please use the following format:

For each example, first diagnose the character with his or her disorder in the topic sentence. Then, define what the disorder is and its symptoms; cite your source. Lastly, argue why the character has this disorder by using examples and quotations from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; cite your quotations.

Imagine a situation where you are paired up with a coworker to complete a very important project for your company. The coworker does not share the same work ethic that you do, and you are concerned about working together toward successful completion of the project. It is not a job that you can handle on your own as there are a lot of specialty areas that this person knows well and you know nothing about. Discuss at least three things you can do to improve your working relationship with this person so that you do not dread going to work every day and that will improve the work you produce as a team.

Explain the cellular processes that lead to this condition.
Is it possible to treat aneuploidies in utero? Why or why not?
In your opinion, if aneuploidies could be treated in utero, should it be done? Why or why not?

Compare St. Anselm’s and St. Thomas Aquinas’ proofs for the existence of God, a comparison of ontological and cosmological proof. State the arguments (proofs); indicate how each proof functions argumentatively, and how they differ in their approaches; conclude with reasons for their respective success or not as proofs for God’s existence. Note: as concerns St. Thomas Aquinas’ cosmological proofs, choose as an example only one of his “five ways.”
