    I think that was a good book and the story I like the most was ´´A short trip home'' because it was interesting and I liked the plot. I think this stories described a violent and conservative society.

    My favorite story was The curious Case of Benjamin Button because of the time of Benjamin, his life, was going back because he was born as an old man and he got young as time went by. First he was going to the university, then to highschool and finally to kindergarden.
    The history take place after the first ww, when all the world are in a state of "close-mind" for all the things that can be a suprise and you can see that when nobody believed that Benjamin was born as an old man.

    the best history for me is the curious case of benjamin button because show a interesting story never told before and I think old die young being born is one of the rarest and sad deaths that may exist. The society described in the book are very conservative and this rare cases are treated as a secret.

    My favorite story is "The cut-glass bowl", because is interesting besides is a story wich contains a lot suspense in the way of telling the story.
    and fate the history.
    Is a society completely out of the ordinary with a lot of mistery in wich is this part of the book.
    and in many cases, characters are victims.

    My favorite story is "The cut-glass bowl" because the bowl is curious and there is more than one secret involving the bowl, in addition the woman had hidden secrets and had a curious relationship with the bowl.

    I do not like society that describes the book because there are very bad people who don't think about others and only think about them.

    my favorite story of this book is "the cut-glass bowl", because i think it´s like "the monkey´s paw", with a lot of drama and tragedy (specialy when julie cut her finger with the bowl, after that, she lose her hand & when Donald died). i like "Bernice bobs her hair" too, ´cause i feel that this tale it´s very realistic and entertaining, and i loved the end, because finally Bernice took revenge.
    The American society is described as biased, ´cause it´s just a part of the society, high society, well-off, i think that it´s a bit utopic, even though the story was set in the 30´s.

    My favorite story was The curious Case of Benjamin Button because since I find curious is born as an old man and see how going to college, the school and finally to child education. society in this book is conservative because each case they try to say like a secret.

    I like the story of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", because is an uncommon story and it shows a society that discriminates against people because of age and appearance and I also like the story of the life Benjamin, born old , grows becoming a young, assists to war and die as a baby.

    My favorite story from "The curious case of Benjamin Button" was The cut-glass bowl, because in that story we can see a little of the real life represented in the book, with a mix of love, heartbreak, treachery,drop a bricks, fight and bad luck, there were many moments in the same story that make you feel uncertainty and don't know what should happen in the end of the story.

    I think that this story show us the chauvinism in the century, because the woman be subjet for the men, they couldn't choose their "man" and what they wanted in their lives, men decided everything and that is all.

    The story I liked most was that of Benjamin Button because it is a very strange story and very different from those we are used to read (I mean we could say that out of the ordinary and become very curious.
    The society that the book shows is very old but daily, this means that, women were housewives and men works (a society with many rules).

    my favorite story is Bernice Bobs Her Hair, because is a story that takes a case which is similar to life real that make mention to the ussual reality because we, girls are always more jealous in different ways and i don´t know i think it is interesting.
    the society that the book shows us is really varied because we can find different situations in which the cases known to us that life in such societies is showing us something old or classic due to time and is more a life the high class, besides all this story show us a part of the life the others people in that times.

    Benjamin Button is a story that relate about the man was born old and dead as a child. My opinion about the story in that it is full of fantasy and intrigue. The atmosphere weas tense and unrest.
    I think that fot the war gave brirth to abnormal children.
    The first story the curious case of benjamin button tells me that the people were closed minded and they couldn't think.

    My favourite story is the curious case of benjamin button, because I never see in any story a child who born like an old man and when he grew up he became young, then like a child and finally he died like a baby.
    The society where the story happens is really discriminatory and closed, you can see that like when benjamin born, the hospital did not want to take care about him because he was old or when he want to study on the university and they did not accept him because he was like an old man.

    The story that I liked was the curious case of Benjamin Button, because it showed that he was born as an old, over time rejuvenates every time, increased age every year becomes younger, began to go to college that ends in small school yard as child. The society they showed was widely criticized for his social position as the youngest life was very different to the other had to be more discreet, because it could discriminate .

    I think the best story is about Benjamin Button, because it is entertaining and has a bit of mystery, it is also known for his film and it's interesting. The society of the book is normal, is almost equal to that of us, so the history of Benjamin is so rare.

    My favourite story is the curious case of benjamin button, because is a really rare case and is my first time than I heard something like a person born like a old man and died like a baby.
    I like it because is something really new and creative and the society in the story I imagine than is egoist and think only in his objetives and finish and never for the other people.
