Comparing French Family And American Family

Similarities and Differences between French Family and American Family

My Father’s Glory and I Bought a Zoo are two movies that are both about family. My Father’s Glory is about a typical French family in the 20th century. I bought a zoo is about a single parent American family in the 21st century. The single father, Benjamin Mee, decides to start a new life after the death of his wife.
