How does bens mom explain her decision to marry larry , who she's known only for a few months ?

The decision to getting married is definitely a personal decision. Each one has the right to choose whatever each one considers good for their own life. However, when we talk about marriage, we are talking about choosing someone who is going to be with us for the rest of the life or that is how is supposed to be. Share our life with someone also involves all our relatives especially if we have children that is why is important that Bens Mom explains to him why she took the decision to marry Larry. She should say something like this: It is true that I know him only a few months ago but in that time I learned to know him and I know he is an excellent person, he supports me, he is responsible, worker, honest, he loves you and for me that is the most important thing and respects us as a family.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
