Describe the connection between the pros-and-cons list and the decision to move. (Moving Home by Heidi Stemple) !!

The pros-and-cons list was drawn because the children were doubtful of whether the decision to move was the right one. If the pros outweighed the cons, that would convince the children that the decision to move was the right one.

Explanation:

In this text by Heidi Stemple, we learn of how her father became ill with cancer and it became necessary for the family to move from their home in Myrtle Beach, Carolina. Being the only daughter of her parents, Heidi had to move with her husband and children. The children were unwilling to move and that prompted drawing the pros and cons list.

The cons were mainly suggested by the children. But in the end, they were all converted to pros when they reasoned on them with their mother.
