Desiree's Baby, Kate Chopin

This story is about a young lady who was adopted. Later she marries into a wealthy family and has a child, only to find out that the child is mixed. After a happy marriage and a healthy child she is thrown out by her husband because the baby is mixed. Desiree has been faced with hardship her whole life, but still she keeps her heard up high and takes whatever life throws her way! This story shows how racist our country can be, and how much people judge someone based on their heritage! Even though the baby is mixed due to Desiree's blood line, her husband didn't take the time to investigate! This story made me frustrated, but also inspired me to be more like Desiree.
