The curious case of Benjamin Button, chapter 8- the end

explain what this story says about each of these issues. Use examples from the story to support your explinations.
Family

the family things that were here werent very good one. one thing was that when he was Benjamin was born his dad didnt like him because he was born and old man and that isnt right. when he was growin up his dad took 12 years to get along with him that is wrong because you have to like your family even if the way they look or how old they look. when he was like really old his son was embarrased about him and didnt want no one to know he was his dad and thats wrong because your sopposed to get along and not be embarrased of them expecially your parents they are the ones that raised you. at first his dad was ashamed of him because he looked to old and tried to dye his hair but it was really bad and that isnt what family does we have to like each other no matter what and also benjamins son was ashamed of him because he looked to young and he tried to make him look older and its the same thing he is embarrased of him and it is wrong.

Age
Age here is important to everyone because benjamin tried to go to yale but they didnt let him because of the age he looked and they just kicked him out. When he got married his wife thought he was 50 and that is why she even went out with hi because she said 20-40 is the work type and 60 is too old but 50 year old guys know how to treat a woman. most people look at people by the age.
beauty
beauty is counted alot here in this book. like benjamin he married a woman that he saw because of her beauty but when she grew older he didnt like her that much because i guess she looked different then before.
