Desirees Baby - A Short Story by Kate Chopin :: Kate Chopins Desirees Baby

Desirees Baby, is about a young lady who was nameless and abandoned as a barbarian. Desiree was a child whos future was uncertain until she was found by the Valmonde family. During this time of the Valmondes life, they had not been blessed with any children, therefore they took in Desiree and raised her as their own child. From the very commencement of the story, I knew that this would be something that I would enjoy. The Valmondes taking in this child as their own, is two blessing in one. Desiree gets the love and support that she needs from parents and the Valmondes get a child that they are now able to give love and support to. Growing up to become a a beautiful lady, she attracted the attention of Armand Aubigny Armand was a neighboring plantation owner and bearer of one of the finest names in Louisiana. If I were in Desirees shoies, I would have thought I was something by date one of the well-known plantation owners. By this time, Desirees father was reminding Armand that the y didnt know were heritage, but still he insisting on persuing her anyway. Which by the way, that sometimes happens when you find person that you really like. Regardless of what anyone has to say or tell you about that person you are going to still want to be with them. As time went on, Desiree and Ahmand became linked in holy matrimony. To their union a child was born. Now, the problem begins. It wasnt until there was a question about the babys race, the hardship on the plantation began. Only because her personal identity resembled that of a slave. While now, she would have to leave the plantation, only because of the outer appreance of the child. When all along, I feel that Ahmand knew that he was the cause of the child African decendency.
