Happy to. If I may, I have an analogy:

C feels a little like survival mode in Minecraft; you have a set of very simple abstractions, a relatively simple language, with which one can build the world (and in many cases, we have).

C++ feels like a complex city builder, with lots of tools, designs, and paradigms available, but also allows one to screw up in bigger ways.
