I forgot just how sad this story is. Gahh, lies and deception ruined the lives of those who were in the dark about the truth. It's funny how the truth about lies makes all the truth you thought you knew seem like lies too. One lie, one secret, one deception...can cause a lifetime of pain, suffering, resentment, and grief. Color. It's the biggest division among the human race. We give it so much power, so much so that we don't know how to be ourselves in the danger of color. We crumble and surrender who we are to what 'color' wants us to be. They say complicated things are never "black and white", but contradictory the most complicated things in the world today are simply...BLACK AND WHITE. I forgot just how sad this story is.

What do You think about El Hijo De Désirée (2000)?
Although short, this story definitely makes an impact on the reader. I especially love Chopin's use of irony in this story as it really adds to the overall feeling. My only comment would be on the ending. Although it is not blatantly said that the woman dies, it can be assumed that she does, which seems to be the typical ending. The woman always seems to be punished in the end and/or die. But overall the story was great.

"Desiree's Baby" , it is a short story by Kate Chopin who wrote it before the American civil war. The plot reveals the discrimination against Afro-Americans, and how they suffer from the bad treatment because of their black skin. I really like what Kate Chopin writes. I remember that I read "the story of an hour" in the last year , and this is the second work that I've read for this creative writer.

Great concept, but squashed into a story that was too short
