Start from the beginning of the video and go to 3:18.

Question 1: I selected this clip because it was a good portrayal of a family from the 50's. I think that this does refelct the idea of the American Family in the country's past because it shows a family spending quality time together.

Question 2: The family in this video is dressed very nice for dinner because they feel it is expected to look good for dinner. The entire family is present, the mother, father, son, daughter, and the younger son. You cannot hear the characters speaking in the video, but you can tell they are very happy because they are going to have a nice meal with their family.

Question 3: The family is very proper. Family and school work is most important. For example, the son speaks on the phone, but hangs up quickly because he knows he has to get back to his studies. It seems as if the father is the one who goes out everyday and makes money. The mother seems to be a stay at home mom who takes care of the family. The kids seem to be very respectful and good students.

Question 1: I selected this clip because it showed how the family interacted with each other a little later in time, around the 1970's. I think that this video reflects the idea of the American Family because at times, they can be nice and loving, but at other times they can be hostile and get into arguments.

Question 2: The family is dressed in everyday clothes, like a button down shirt and pants. The mother, father, daughter, son-in-law, and neighbors. The characters are arguing about change that the father owes to the neighbor because the father cannot understand how to make change. They are mainly yelling because they are arguing.

Question 3: The family is made up of a father, mother, and a daughter. The father's role seems to be the head of the house who controls everything. The mother doesn't seem to play a big role because she didn't say much during the video and the son-in-law seems to be a large role because he is arguing with the father alot.

Question 1: I selected this clip because it shows how differently families react nowadays compared to back in the day. It also shows how greedy people today are because it shows how Peter wants the newwst thing that just came out on the T.V. Most people are greedy in that sense because they want the best or newest products.

Question 2: Peter and Lois are dressed much differently than that of a family from the 40's or 50's. They are in casual clothing, but if someone was to go out back in the day, they would be dressed much nicer than just a tee shirt and pants. The people involved in the clip are Louis and Peter, the mom and dad. They also have three kids, Chris, Meg, and Stewie. Lois wanted to know what Peter wanted for Christmas because that was the only time she was going shopping.

Question 3: Within the family, there are five members, Lois, Peter, Meg, Stewie, and Chris. The father is the one who runs the house and the mother is the one who keeps the kids in check. The children aren't respectful, they treat their parents poorly and do not get reprimanded for wrong doing.

Question 1: I selected this clip because it shows how differnet a family is today from a family 30 or 40 years ago. For example, in this clip, the one child talks back to his mother, when back in the day that would have never been tolerated.

Question 2: This clip portrayes a modern family quite well, They are wearing everyday clothes such as a tee shirt and shorts or pants. The people involved in the clip are the mother and her two children. The kids' names are Zach and Cody and the mother's name is Karen.

Question 3: In this family, there are only three members, the mother and her two sons. The mother is divorced. This is also a major difference from a family 40 years ago because back then divorces were not as common as they are today. The mother takes care for the kids, but works a lot to support her and her kids. The kids are somewhat well behaved, but also get into some trouble from the hotel manager, Mr. Mosby.
