Respond to the following questions in correlation with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
1. Why does the author choose to start at this specific point?

2. Do we need to know anything about the characters or conflicts prior to these events? Are you left with more questions than answers because of the structure of the beginning of the story?

3. What are some craft choices that are apparent from the beginning? (i. e. What is apparent about the author's style in writing? Is it to the point? Is there a lot of detail? Is there a good bit of dialogue? Do you have to infer a lot?)

4. Describe the main character(s) (some books have multiple - if yours has multiple, choose 1). Then, identify a specific characteristic of this character that you predict will attribute to his/her influence on others within the story.
