The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Chapters 8- the end

Explain what this story says about each of these issues. Use examples from the story to support your explanations.

Family- Family is being one and helping each other out until the end. But in this case of the story of the curious case of Benjamin the family is not about being one and helping each other out in better or worse. In this story Benjamin's family is breaking up because of his problem that he was born old and he was getting younger. At first the story says that Benjamin's father didn't like him and when he came back out of war his wife resided to Italy and he just went with his son Roscoe.

Age- In this story the age matter in alot of ways. At first he was born as a seventy year old man and getting younger and younger until to a baby and die. His age was going backwards and when the problem is when he's going to love somebody he's going to get younger. He can't love because his age is going backwards and it's a problem so the age here in the story is really different and affected lots of things.

Beauty- Beauty here matters alot. At first he was an old ugly man and changed into a cute adorable baby. In the story it says that Haldegarde likes a 5o year old man that will take care of her than a young man that she will take care of. And she started not liking him because he looks younger and younger instead of getting old. So beauty in this case reall matters.
