What you can learn from reading this story is that life at the end will seem like it went by in such a rush, and also show that you won’t remember any of the small details that are important to you now. It makes us look at our present and our future, while showing that there are bigger things in life and to examine where in life are we headed. 

What can you learn
The universal issue that the short story addresses is that it challenges the judgements based on age and gender. It also addresses that even family will judge their own, because society puts the pressure on what everyone else thinks. 
The important issue in this short story is that it reveals an identity crisis and shows that people in their society judge people on who they are because your age is very relevant information and shows how age dictates your identity. 
This story is about Benjamin Button who was born at the oldest age and had all the knowledge in the world, and as his life went on, he got younger and lost the knowledge that he had. When he was born, he was actually born as a very old man and not a newborn baby, where his family despised him and was quickly embarrassed by the thought and look of him in society’s world. As he gets younger, he marries, divorces because he loses interest as he got younger, finally attending college, going onto prep school, and lastly entering kindergarten, where he had gotten too young to remember any of his life beforehand.
