Benjamin was very optimistic throughout his life, which probably led him to his great life. He found a few loves. He married one. He was on a tugboat also. Also he was a soldier in WWII.
Throughout it all he had his optimistic hope which helped him greatly. His mother died when she gave birth to him. His father left him on some steps to a retirement home, tracked him down a few years later and was scarcely in his life, but made an attempt to be in his life.
The story reminded me of my life. The fact that Benjamin was so optimistic throughout his life kept him going. Through all obstacles he had he just kept going. He never let anything get him down. He always was having fun in his life with whatever he had. He persevered confidently throughout life backwards in age only.
