In literature, through many novels, they have dreamed to live forever or be young through many ages.

Nadia https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/316558722 No, because his life looks pretty hard and he doesn't seem happy at all, besides, the fact that he doesn't look the age that he is, gives him a lot of problems.]]> 2018-12-23 14:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/316558722 2. Nadia https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/316559139 The society seems to judge quite a lot the appearances of the people. Benjamin is considered strange.

Carol https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318069279 In society, in many things, age matters.
Everyone is based on the ages of people, to be able to maintain a relationship, be friends or other things.
In my opinion, the age is just a number.

Carol https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318079796 Sorry, I can't remember any examples.
I think that humans become more obsessed with age and they care more and more to be able to keep something serious or do different things]]> 2019-01-07 20:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318079796 6. Marta https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318081520 I remember one film where the most important character is young for all of his life. Twilight. Is a film where the characters are vampires and inmortals. It's the only example that I can found. ]]> 2019-01-07 20:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318081520 1. María G https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318383040 No, I wouldn´t like to have a life like Benjamin´s one because it is very hard. You need care when you are young but then, when your family need  yours you can´t give it because you are becoming a child.
2.  The film reflects an old society that don´t accept different people. Although they try to hide their feelings people don´t like Benjain´s appearence and they think that it´s unnatural. I think that nowadays it would happen the same.
3. Most of the book is tragic but it has funny moments like when benjamin´s father goes to the shop to buy baby clothes.
4. I would be lying if I said that for me the age is not important. Maybe not in all the aspects but yes in most of them. Fashion changes easily but changing people mentality is very complicated.
5. In the film the father doesn´t go to the cafe and listens a conversation between a man and his wife and he doesn´t go to the clothes shop neither, for example.
6. I don´t know any example of this but in my opinion, yes. Eternal life is human´s obsession, we can see it at religions, for example. Most of them show a second life after dying and they use it to persuade their believers.]]> 2019-01-08 16:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318383040 Lucia https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318421383 1. No, I wouldn't like the life of Benjamin's Button, because is very boryng. All people will age but Benjamin no.
2. The people reflects in the 60s, when didn't accept de people different for here, except her adoptive mother. Benjamin never was well considered. In actually anybody have one case similar.
3. The book is both, because in the differents parts of the book the two styles.
4. Normaly the age is not important, but in some cases, yes. The history reflect the life turned around. 
5. For example, in the book, the family of Benjamin Button her father helps him sometimes. But in the film, the fathers of Benjamin, they gave in adoption.
6. I don't know one example for this. In my opinion it's realy this question, I don't have why, but is realy this evaluation.]]> 2019-01-08 17:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318421383 Carmen https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318530644 1)No, because he have problems with the other people like the friends or the family (sons, wife...). In my opinion I think that Benjamin have a difficult life. 2)The society is reflected very unfair with Benjamin becausethe people "mock" of him. Now I think that the people are more tolerant with the others so If I could be like him I don't have a lot of problems. 3) The book is tragic but with funny moments like the father of Benjamin is more goodness with him. 4) In my point of view I think no because your attitude is about your personal experience and no from your age. But all people look how years old you have. 5) One differece is for example, in the film Benjamin born with small size (size of baby) and old aspect in his face and in the book Benjamin born with body of old man and he know how speak. 6)In the film 'The Chronicles of Narnia' the time is very slow than in the real life and the people don't grow. Other exaple is the film 'Twilight' in this film the vampires don't grow too and they have the same age forever but they are in the same reality than the normal people.]]> 2019-01-08 19:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318530644 Ainhoa https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318572374 1.) No, because his life is the opposite of everyone and he can’t make a normal life.  Also, for his family and he is very difficult.
2.) The society don’t accept Benjamin because he is different.
Benjamin is a very good person, but people judge him before they meet him.
3.)The book is tragic but there are fun times especially at the beginning.
4.)In my point of view,  the age doesn’t matter in some situations for example in relationships but in some it is important, for example at work.
5.)For example, in the film, Benjamin when he was born,he was a baby and in the book an old man who measures 1.70 m
6.) I don’t know any example of this. I think people don’t want to die because life goes very fast and they want to enjoy it forever.

2-Society judges its case without thinking about Benjamin's feelings. Benjamin is considered different and that makes people treat him differently and that doesn’t help him feel like others. I think that at present people are more open-minded and they would accept it.
3- Both because sometimes the strange situations can be funny but actually it isn’t, nobody want to have his hard life.
4- Age is important in some aspects because an older person can’t do the same things as a teenager because the abilities aren’t the same. The story represents how people change their behavior when they talk to an older person or a teenager.
5- In the movie Benjamin was adopted and in the book no. Also in the book scenes appear as when his father went to buy clothes appropriate to his body and in the film is given little importance his birth. Also the person telling the story is not the same.
6-I remember a movie that always repeated her fifteenth anniversary and at the end it wasn’t a special day. I think that although we have all said that we would like to be eternal, but there will come a time when we will not want.]]> 2019-01-09 13:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318762988 Miguel https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318921494 1-No, I Would like to have the life of benjamin because you would see your family and friends and people would see you rare
2- Society judges according to appearance, not because it is old, Benjamin would be less marginalized but also very little 
3-  It's sad because he has no lucky in the life.
4- I think that age is important, to be a novel a hundred years ago it reflects society well enough
5- For example in the book his father does not leave him, in the movie he abandons him,in the book as a child he wants to speak with older people and in the movie he is in reverse
6-I remember some examples of movies like tenebrous shadows, or twilight in which they are immortal, humanity is obsessed in getting a formula of immortality]]> 2019-01-09 18:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318921494 Irene https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318961307 1. No, because he don't enjoy with his life and have problems with people who don't know him .
2. The society didn't accept the problem of Benjamin and he was considered strange but i think that in the actually Benjamin would be accept because people think the other form and the problems of people are more accepted but always are people that don't accept other people with problems.
3. The book is tragic because shows how people with problems like Benjamin is judged by the appareance.
4. Is important for some things but for others not, but in the society people pay more attention at appareances or age than other things that are more importants.
5. One of the differences is that in the film Benjamin is adopted and in the book not or when he was born he was in a cot in the book and in the film not.
6. I don't know any example or I can't remember but the eternal life is a obesesion for people 
that is why there are religions, so they think that when they die in this life, they will have another one that will always be eternal.]]> 2019-01-09 19:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/318961307 Guillermo cbarrachinabernabeu https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/351914019 2019-04-16 09:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/351914019 cbarrachinabernabeu https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029111 2020-09-14 06:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029111 cbarrachinabernabeu https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029161 2020-09-14 06:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029161 cbarrachinabernabeu https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029200 2020-09-14 06:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029200 cbarrachinabernabeu https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029219 2020-09-14 06:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029219 cbarrachinabernabeu https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029233 2020-09-14 06:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cbarrachinabernabeu/xddj9ory0rb4/wish/743029233
