Throughout the film there were many cultural and parenting style differences between the children and their development. All of the families were geosensitive (coming from different parts of the world).

Although he didn’t stick out as much, there were some qualities that I liked about him. I liked that he was an animal lover and that he was very independent. For example, he was always roaming around the farm (or fields) by
