FAMILY: I think that the story of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button teaches us about family a little. One thing it teaches us is that all family is not always supprtive and sometimes are ashamed of a family member. Family is soppose to not discriminate they're family but in the Button's family, when Benjamin was born his father disliked him and resented him and later even Benjamin's son was mad at him for being strange and weird. Another example is that Benjamin started to get tired of his old wife and didn't want her anymore.

AGE: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tought alot about age. People shouldn't be judged about their age and shouldn't be kept from doing something ether. In the story, Benjamin looked too old to go to collage but he was actually only 20 years old. Also that Benjamin wanted to club without his wife because he was too old and he felt young. I'm guessing younger people don't want to be around ya older people.

BEAUTY: Beauty does matter and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button teaches us a little bit about that. At first when Benjamin as born, the doctor and nurses were scared at him becuase he looked like a 70 year old man. Also when Benjamin first met his future wife she was beautiful and he still looked like a 50 year old man and people were critisizing him that he was too old. Beauty matters becuase people judge alot by their beauty.
