an essay that uses three sources to help a friend who has asked you for advice, the sources you can use are BOLD AND UNDERLINE next to the question. Two of the resources can be what you find in the Corinna book or links that are provided. One source needs to be new– you find it on your own. By ‘source’ here, I mean the website of an organization, relevant data one could use to make decisions, and support networks that are useful. Basically, something that a person can use as a resource for themselves.
Here are your options. Choose one. Make it your own. Fill in whatever details you need to make your essay cohesive. That is, you can make up the details that make the sources you use more relevant.
You have a friend who is 8-weeks pregnant and does not want to give birth. They live at home with parents that whom they don’t want to share this information. What kinds of resources would you get to assist this person? CHAPTER 12-13
You have a friend who is in an abusive relationship. The person feels stuck and the abuse has recently gotten physical. What kinds of resources would you offer? CHAPTER 11 AND YOU CAN USE ONE OR TWO OF THESE:
