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

Explain what this story says about each of these issues:

-FAMILY
-AGE
-BEAUTY

Use examples from the story to support your explanations for each.

HOMEWORK FOR THIS WEEKEND:

The mother is rarely mentioned in the story, so we do not know much about how she feels about what happens throughout Benjamin's life. Your job this weekend is to rewrite this story through the mother's eyes. Pretend you are Benjamin's mother from his birth to your death. We do not know exactly when Mr. and Mrs. Button die, but it must be sometime after Mr. Button hands the family business over to Benjamin. Use your discretion on when you want his mother's death to be. Think about all that she has witnessed in her son's life and retell the story through her eyes.

Good luck!
