response of "DESIREE'S BABY" by: Kate Chopin


After read and find out about the story I can tell that story was based on the true story of the author. Desirees baby describes physical realism has many experienced by people during this era was the omission of slavery. This story tells about racism and slavery as opposed to the problems of love. That makes me wonder is why Armand would prefer to keep the his price than his love for children and his wife. On the other side of the story describes the time so dramatic for people because at the time they are free from the bondage of slavery where selum completely annihilated, over a period of time that many people were placed or seen as lower class society. Husband of Desire, Armand, was a wealthy nobleman, he had a large plantation in Louisiana at the time. He believes that he must protect his family's social status. More Armand also gave social theory in the story. Social theory is interpreted in the redirect through the thought process based on rationality and logic.

The story also brought the problems associated with racism. Racism is one of the points the problems occurred in the life of Armand. View Armand against slavery changed, as she is convinced that her son would be white. But it turns out his son's skinned Americans to African (not white, a little black), because it becomes so angry and he shut himself away from his family as a result of it. In my opinion the problem skin/racism should be relied upon for the barometer of honor, because basically the differences that make this life be beautiful and colorful. The story describes the essence of pride (proud to be a social status especially of race). Armand chose to protect his family's reputation also social status by making his wife and children to stay at home and do not mingle with outsiders when he found out that his son was born of African descent he considers that of African descent (black) is usually made into a slave/black people usually have a hard character and lead to acts of anarchy. Excessive pride will affect the values and morals. Because when we put forward the pride especially proud of a caste and the throne pertaining to race it at least can make us arrogant and reduce a sense of mutual respect and tolerance. As what was said by prof. A. Tafsir said that if we find more aesthetic than ethics then it could easily lowering moral and create chaos. We can analogize aesthetics as “race pride” and ethics we analogize as ”moral”.

The problem of racism is a problem that is so sensitive that divisions and unrest could occur and the resulting problem of racism primarily because of differences in skin color. But it will be good in the lead a life as a servant of the Lord, we should be able to coexist and receive the difference as a beautiful thing, because God never taught us to mutually hostile and hated because of differences, thus the existence of a difference we can learn many things, we can learn a lot through the most basic distinction, we can learn about the nature and the mutual respect and tolerance. From the differences also we can learn a lot of culture because it clear between the black race and the white race has its own culture and the cultures of each has its own uniqueness and uniqueness to the cir typical. Why i ' m more focus on learning and cultural differences, taken from because the secret of a nation that there are in culture as what has been said Ki Hadjar Dewantara “ destroy the culture and many people is easily to be destroyed .
