Kate Chopin

"The story of an Hour"

I liked this story because it was like this women wanted to be free from her husband. Once she found out he died she was happy, but once she came back she was devastated and dead. I think this story does a good job at classifying freedom because at the end she was finally free. I didnt think the story would end like this, I actually thought she was going to get a chance at life. Instead Mrs. Mallard was forced to be with him, I guess she would rather die than be with him.

"The Blind Man"

This was my least favorite story because it made me feel sorry for the blind man. Everyone in the story treated him wrong, no one helped him, and no one talked to him. When the rich man got killed the people made it more important to attend to him and not the man that was blind. This story makes rich people out to be better than poor and disabled people. I didnt like reading this because it made me want to jump in the story and take the blind man home with me.

"Desiree's Baby"

This was my favorite story out of all the Kate Chopin stories we read. I really liked this story because I liked the fact that Armand got a taste of his own medicine. He always thought that since his baby looked black that Desiree was the one that was half black. In all actually Armand was the one that had the black blood in him. When the ending came I didnt suspect it, I thought he was going to find something out like Desiree cheated on him. When he found that letter it was a big shocker. This story explains how racist it was back then towards black people, i just dont understand why they were treated wrong.
