Answer:

Two or three months had gone by without any mention of my being a

prodigy again. And then one day my mother was watching The Ed Sullivan

Show6

on TV. The TV was old and the sound kept shorting out. Every time

my mother got halfway up from the sofa to adjust the set, the sound would go

back on and Ed would be talking. As soon as she sat down, Ed would go silent

again. She got up, the TV broke into loud piano music. She sat down. Silence.

Up and down, back and forth, quiet and loud. It was like a stiff, embraceless

dance between her and the TV set. Finally she stood by the set with her hand

on the sound dial.

a cousin of yours in SS2 is discovered to be pregnant and her father has threatened to send her out of the house. write a letter
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Letter to cousin's father to pacify him from acting harshly against her daughter who's gotten pregnant and also suggest some solutions to salvage the situation.

Explanation:

ABC Apartments

29 May 2005

My dear Uncle,

I am writing to you about cousin Lucy's news and hoping that you will at least give me the chance to make my point before you make any decision.

I know it was a shock to learn of Lucy's pregnancy, considering she's still so young and still in school. But what has happened is in the past and there is nothing that we can do that will change it. But what we can do is make sure that nothing wrong is done and we act in a rational and open-minded approach.

It is important that she feels safe and secure, comfortable in her home, surrounded by the people who love her, and not be critical of her. She must already be under a lot of stress and so, it is good to ensure that she suffers no more. If you, her own father, act against her, then who can she turn to? Moreover, if she can't get support from her family, then there will be no one to get help and feel safe with for her.

But if you are open about it and keep your grudges aside, she will feel safe. She will also learn firsthand how being a parent is hard work, which she can utilize in her relationship with her own child.

Threatening to throw her out of the house will lead to a broken family, a heartbreak for you and her, and also for the unborn child. The child will have no relation with you and the mother will feel abandoned by the very person she thinks is supposed to be there for her.

So, I urge you, Uncle, to think about it and make sound choices. I hope to get good news from you soon.

Take care of each other and hope to see you soon.

Love,

Betty.
