STYLE
In Kate Chopins short story, Desirees Baby, she demonstrates how racism played a major part in peoples lives in the 1800s. Kate Chopin is extremely successful in getting her readers to feel disturbed by the events in the story. Through words and images, the reader feels touched by the story, either by relating to it at some points or when confronted with things we frequently decide to ignore in the world: the evil some human beings are capable of possessing.

Chopin introduces the story with pleasant images and events; she enchants the reader with fairy tales. A woman who cannot have children is blessed with the most beautiful and gentle, affectionate and sincere (31) of all girls, whom she believes had been sent to her by a beneficent Providence to be the child of her affection (31). A real Cinderella story becomes true when a girl who holds the burden of not knowing where she came from is now the object of desire of the handsome and wealthy Armand Aubigny, a man whos so in love that ignores the fact of her obscure origin. According to Armand, what did it matter about a name when he could give her one of the oldest and proudest in Louisiana? (31). Armands lo ve is such that he orders the corbeille from Paris, and impatiently waits on it to marry the woman he desires. Chopin goes on with the fantasy in her successful attempt to soften the readers hearts.

SETTING
At the time of publication of Bayou Folk, which reprinted "Dsire's Baby," Chopin was primarily seen as a local colorist. This designation was partially due to the fact that Chopin wrote about the Cajuns and Creoles of Louisiana. This world, members of which had distinct cultural traits, was relatively unknown to northerners and even other southerners. The Cajuns were descendants of French settlers in Acadia, Canada. They had been driven from Canada in the 1600s, and came to settle in Louisiana, where their nameAcadianswas mangled into the name they are still known by today Cajuns. Creoles are white people descended from early French and Spanish settlers, or people of mixed French or Spanish and Black descent

POINT OF VIEW
This story has the third point of view that shows the writer didnt involved in the story. he didnt used any representation of the word I in the story.

MORAL VALUES
We should be a strong women eventhough we are alone women in the step to prepare if we are be left alone. We must love and care our own baby because they are need us to give them support in the step of them to become a successful man soon. As a husband and a wife, we should obey to the instruction that are had been ordered to us.
