The Curious Case Of Benjiman Button Chapter 8-the end

Explain what this story says about these issues
-Family
-Age
-Beauty

Family
In this story Benjiman's family was dysfunctional. This story says that family doesn't always help you and except you the way you are. Sometimes your family wants you be the way they want you to be. But you are different. The Button family wanted Benjiman to stop getting younger, but he couldn't, so his family didn't really except him.
Age
In this story age is something people really pay attention to. If someone were to be born old people think your a freak and you would be embarrassing to be around. If you looked 15 and wanted to go to the war at this time you would be kicked to the curb and sent home. So age was really taken serious.
Beauty
Beauty was something important too. Benjiman's dad died benjiman's hair, and put him in young people clothes when he looked 70 years old. Beauty was most likely a thing that showed in how much money you had or the clothes that you wear. Beauty was defined in how you look and if you were fancy.
