The Curious Case If Benjamin Button, Chapters 8-The End

Family- In the story of Benjamin Button the way they describe family is a total different way than we think of the meaning Family. In the way we learn about what the word Family means we learn that it is a group of people that stick together and have unconditional love for each other but in the story that is not what the word Family even means at all. In the story Benjamin's father is so wrong he is so worried because his son is not young, and dose not appear attractive because he is an old man so they feel that they can't love him. His Father is not like most he would be kind of ashamed of Benjamin because he care so much about what other people think about him and he should not care, so by him taking it to an extreme level he doesn't consider Benjamin his son, He doesn't show him the love of a father which is wrong. Also Benjamin is such a nice person he tries to please his father by doing everything that his father tells him, Benjamin was just born as this type of person and he loves his father and he wants for his father to love him the way that he loves his father and that is why he tries so hard.

Age- This story takes a big twist because of how Benjamin ages he is born an old man but he seems to go through the aging process but backwards. Age is like the most important thing in this story because that is what his father Roger mostly focuses on when he meets Benjamin for the first time he is so shocked and dose not want to admit that Benjamin is really his son, so Roger is in denial by everything that had happened in the time that he meet Benjamin.It is kind of funny because it take so long for him to learn to love his son and it dose not happen until his son is aging, with most people they love their kids not matter what even if they are not the same be cause everyday that someone is born they are different no one id the same.

Beauty- This is a big part too because they consider people to be beautyful in the book and these are the people who have alot of attention they tend to be what they call normal, but since Benjamin has this sickness he dose not have beuty really what old person with out surgery dose so this plays an important part in the story because their really is no one who wants to be around old people especially when they are suppose to be a new born baby that is something that is just unnatural.
