The families in the short stories “A Brief Moment in the life of Angus Bethune” and “The Secret of Life according to Aunt Gladys,” by Chris Crutcher and Bruce Coville have many differences and very few similarities.
When it comes to similarities, Angus and Gladys’ families have almost none, but, they do share a few. Both families share something “abnormal” as Angus has four parents, and “there ain’t a hetero among ‘em.”. While Gladys, is “an elegant-looking woman”. An elegant-looking transgender woman, that is. And while that is the main similarity between them, they also both have a young person in the family that is getting to know someone that they never thought they would, on a personal level.
However, there are many more differences
