Desiree's baby
This story was very good. It had alot of detail about racism. They had slaves. Their owners sometimes abused them like the owner in this story. But in this story it kindaof says that love could change a person. It was very breif but it told you that love could change a person. But then back then race could also change a person. Back then african americans were property so if a white person had a child by a black person then that would be bad and the child will become a slave.

The Story of an Hour
This story was very dull to me. It didnt say much about freedom. She might have thought she was free, but does that really count as being free? The story just didnt really catch my attention. They say her husband dies. Then Mrs. Mallard goes to her room and thinks. She says that since her husband is dead, she is free. But after an hour of thinking she was free of her husband, he walks in the house as alive as could be. Then she dies because she was shocked to death.

The Blind Man
I liked this story alot. It told us about how people treat the disabled. It also told us about how people use the classes, between the rich and the poor. This blind poor guy is walking around trying to sell pencils. No body wnts the man around them. They ignore him and try to stay away. The children even are being mean to him. Just when you thought the police were good, The police in this story grabs this blind guy by the collar and jerks him around. Then this poor man walks across the street. But this rich man runs across the street and gets hit. Even though the blind man couldnt see if a car was coming he didnt get hit. The rich guy didnt even bother to look across the street even though god blessed him to see. When this guy got hit every one came to see what happened. But no one helped the blind man across the street, or help him to some shade, or told him to take his coat of because it was hot. I really like this story.
