Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin Pdf

Desiree's Baby BY Kate Chopin is about the daughter of Monsieur and Madame Valmond�, who are wealthy French Creoles in antebellum Louisiana. Abandoned as a baby, Desiree was found by Monsieur Valmond� lying in the shadow of a stone pillar near the Valmond� gateway. She is courted by the son of another wealthy, well-known and respected French Creole family, Armand. They marry and have a child. People who see the baby have the sense it is different. Eventually they realize that the baby's skin is the same color as a quadroon (one-quarter African)-the baby has African ancestry. At the time of the story, this would have been considered a problem for a person believed to be white.

Bayou Folk by Kate Chopin Pdf

A pretty book of tales drawn from life among the Creoles and Acadians of Louisiana. They represent with fidelity and spirit characters and customs unfamiliar to most readers ; they are admirably told, with just enough dialect for local color; and they can hardly fail to be very popular. Some of these stories are little more than croquis — just a brief incident of idea sketched in with a few rapid strokes and left to the imagination of the reader to be materialized, if we may so speak. Others are longer and more finished, but all are full of that subtle, alien quality which holds the Creole apart from the Anglo-Saxon — a quality we do not quite understand and can never reproduce, but which is full of fascination to us from the very fact that it is so unlike ourselves.

Study Guide to Seven Short Stories by Kate Chopin by Ray Moore Pdf

Ray Moore's Study Guides aim to provide readers with insights into important texts so that the reader can develop their own thoughts and opinions about the text.The Seven Stories are "At The 'Cadain Ball", "Desiree's Baby", "A Gentleman of Bayou St. John", "A Respectable Woman", "The Story of an Hour", "A Pair of Silk Stockings" and "The Storm". In these deceptively simple narratives, Chopin deals with the struggle of individuals to establish their independence in the face of racial, class and gender stereotyping.The guide offers the reader insight into Chopin's ability to tell stories in which both setting (of both place and time) is vitally important while dealing with themes of universal significance. Includes for each story: - An introduction; - Guiding questions and post-reading activities that suggest topics for further discussion and thought; - A detailed analysis of characters, genre, narrative voice, setting and themes; - A graphic organizer that allows the reader to make notes on plot; - A glossary of relevant literary terms; - A literary terms activity; - Suggestions for group discussion and activities.These seven short stories make the perfect introduction to a study of Chopin's greatest work The Awakening (1899).

The Story of a Farm Girl by Guy de Mauspassant Pdf

This early work by Guy de Maupassant was originally published in the 1880's. Guy de Maupassant was born in 1850 at the Château de Miromesnil, near Dieppe, France. He came from a prosperous family, but when Maupassant was eleven, his mother risked social disgrace by trying to secure a legal separation from her husband. After the split, Maupassant lived with his mother till he was thirteen, and inherited her love of classical literature. In 1880, Maupassant published his first – and, according to many, his best – short story, entitled 'Boule de Suif' ('Ball of Fat'). It was an instant success. He went on to be extremely prolific during the 1880s, working methodically to produce up to four volumes of short fiction every year. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.
