Benjamin could talk when he was born but didn't know anything about the world. As the story progressed Benjamin her younger instead of older. He tried living life but people wouldn't accept him into schools or anything like that since he was a grown man. Benjamin ended up getting a family but the wife continued to grow old as he continued to grow younger. They had a kid and the kid at one point was older than his dad since he was still getting younger. The story was a great one to read and see this mans life even though it was not a real story. The story ended with Benjamin dying as an infant who was basically just born because he couldn't talk or walk anymore.

Benjamin Button
Benjamin Button was a well thought out story. It was neat how the story started off with Benjamin being born and ended with the day he died. I was Benjamin's entire life in a short story. There was no cliffhanger at the end that left you wondering what happened to Benjamin. The story started with Benjamin being born an old man in his seventies. The dad was shocked and did not like what had happened with his son.

So Mr. Smith, let's take a look at the plot of the story, which you did and parallel that plot with the style of the writing. How does Fitzgerald present this "neat" story and why does he present it in this manner. Also think of the plot and what it says about life and death and how that could relate to Modernism?
