i am a senior in high school and i am currently working on a research paper that is dealing with french/american relations. thank you to both pat and karen for posting your opinions on your own countries. it was very interesting and helpful to read.

one thing i wanted to add, pat, in your first post you asked what french music and movies we know of, my favorites are amelie, the triplets of belleville, and yann tiersen. i am not sure if you know of these, but i like them a lot. :)
