Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors.

In this metaphor she compares Mrs. Dursley to a bird called a crane, the bird is strong and graceful.

What is the sequel to message in a bottle?

The sequel to "Message in a Bottle" is "Safe Haven," although it is not a direct continuation of the original story. Instead, "Safe Haven," which is also a novel by Nicholas Sparks, explores a different narrative centered around themes of love, redemption, and healing. If you're specifically referring to a sequel featuring the same characters, there isn't an official follow-up to "Message in a Bottle."


In the book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe why were the children sent to stay with the professor?

During World War II, London was a dangerous place. The city was subject to a period of sustained bombing from the German Luftwaffe (air force) and so thousands of city children were sent to stay out in the country, where it was believed they would be safe. Country people opened up their homes to these children, taking them in for months at a time to provide a safe haven for them.


What are reasons of good cause for voluntary termination of parental rights?

Women must actually carry the child to term and give birth to it. That is why only mothers have the universal right to voluntarily give their parental rights AND financial responsibilities for their child(ren).The Safe Haven Laws were specifically enacted to help prevent "prom night dumpster babies." Rather than throw the child in the trash or drown it in the toilet, she can give up her child, giving up all rights and responsibilities for said child (NO QUESTIONS ASKED) at any Hospital ER.Women and girls who give up their babies under the Safe Haven Laws almost invariably do so because neither her family nor the baby's father want the child and will not help her care for it. It is practically unheard of for a woman to give up her child under the Safe Haven Laws when the father is present and willing to care for the child. Women give up their children under Safe Haven because they have no other option.While the father can run off, never to be seen again, the woman cannot do the same since the child is growing inside her body. That is why Safe Haven Laws exist for women, but similar laws do not exist for men.Another PerspectiveA very good reason for the voluntary termination of parental rights is to allow the child to be adopted by an adult who wants the responsibilities and benefits of being the child's legal parent. It is commonly done when a step-parent wants to adopt their spouse's child legally. The custodial parent must consent and generally, the parent who is to relinquish their rights cannot be the petitioner.
