Mulattoes Identity Crisis in Pre-American Civil War Slavery Based on Kate Chopin’s Desiree’s Baby

A mulatto is a term to refer to a person that born form parents with different race background, either one is white or black. A mulatto also refers to a person that born from mulatto parent or parents. Because of they have mixed ancestry, it is possible to a mulatto offspring to have the quality of both parents (ex: having natural curly blonde hair and white skin).

            In slavery pre-American civil war, master of slaves had rights “to do whatever they want” to their slaves. It was because of laws that abode, one example is Lousiana law, 1724:

“Louisiana, 1724 – "The slave who, having struck his master, his mistress, or the husband of his mistress, or their children, shall have produced a bruise, or the shedding of blood in the face, shall suffer capital punishment”

            So, according to that law, a slave did not have power to resist any order from their master. Even in Virginia, a slave could have been killed only by resisting their masters’ order. Because of those reason, a slave had to abide everything their master ordered, even for intercourse (for woman slaves). If a woman slave had a child from their master, the offspring was listed as slave as their mother was, also considered a “property” of their master. Because of this, a child slave could also be traded or sold (so as losing their name).

            A free slave often stood with family or person who freed them, either had no place to heading to or have to pay “debt”. A free slave also bear the name of person that free them (ex: Solomon Northup). A free slave also considered as family member.

Review setting the short story desiree baby

One of highlights of the short story desiree’s baby, is time and the circumstances that described the events of the story, one of them is Antebellum period.It was a periode in the history of the southern United states also well known for European history in the region began in the very earliest days of the exploration and colonization of North America,Spain,France, and England eventually explored and claimed parts of what is now the southern United states.From the late 18th century until start of American civil war in 1861 which ended slavery in the United states and destroyed much of the economic landscape of the south,marked by the economic growth of the south,based on slavery driven plantation farming.

  Take place in Louisiana and Louisiana Creole people are persons descended from the inhabitants of colonial Louisiana during the period of both French and Spanish rule.As in many other colonial societies around the world,Creole was a term used to mean those who were “native born”.It also can be applied to African-descenced slaves and Native Americans who were born in Louisiana.

  At the time in Louisiana is also the the age of miscegenation, where it is the attitude that rejects the discrimination race relations,including in the case of mixed marriages between difference races,this attitude is maintaining racial purity, and do everything possible in order not contaminate by interbreeding between races.The etymology of the word is tied up with political conflicts during the American Civil wars over the abolition of slavery and over the racial segregation of African-Americans.

  Monsier and madam valmonde a Wealthy French Creoles in Antebellum Louisiana had found baby girl latter named desiree which undefined whether she African ancestry or not.latter she had grown and married with Arman aubigny another son of wealthy French Creoles Famly.At the time they had child the shocking truth had revealed because their child had considered African ancestry which immedieatly assumes Desiree is part of black or African ancestry. At the age of miscegenation Armand cannot accept the truth he had been contaminate by inter breeding between race ,which latter cast out desiree and burn all related to her and his child.

As long as i read desiree's story it had a places that take an era  mention on it without any information further but it is okay because this story released back then in 1892 and people on that time seems understand what its related to. At first many people maybe thinking that the place where story begin is on Paris because of character names who mentioned first is a type of France people name, but its actually happens in america and it is explain why some of the text talks about "black" or "white" skin (racist). The main problem is how you tried to understand the storyline because at first time i misunderstanding with the story. Just like i said the story mention places that you need to learn about it and even Kate Chopin know specific places on her story just like she seemed experienced how slavery is. the biggest thing that really have a great effects is how racists and slavery explain the major problem with gimmick on the story is a "pride" of armand who reject desiree's when he knows that she or her baby is have a slave blood just because her baby is a boy that makes armand accept it because of a gender that his baby can continue family "name" or "bussiness".

Jules Verne

Complexity plot of "in the year 2889"

In the year 2889 is a short story by Jules Verne that bring us how is technology grow in a many year, although it just a short story but it feel likes full of context but also I feel like there is no main character but we are just bringing in to a dialogue of some character that explain their daily life and technology involved on it for example this is text from the story “The first thing that Mr. Smith does is to connect his phonotelephote, the wires of which communicate with his Paris mansion. The telephote! Here is another of the great triumphs of science in our time. The transmission of speech is an old story; the transmission of images by means of sensitive mirrors connected by wires is a thing but of yesterday”. The point is we can look what is the character talk about on a dialogue or narrative text.

Plot in the story required reader to think how or what the story in this case is a narrator try to tell to the audience. So many book have a plot like a flashback or foreshadowing in a different paragraph but on this book both of it can be joined in one paragraph, flashback to the past and then compare it to the year 2889 or before it.
