The Color of a Baby’s Skin
True love can be defined as many things put into one. In the story,”Desiree’s Baby”, many wonder whether Desiree and Armand were considered “true love”. Their love really wasn’t considered true love because if Armand truly love Desiree, he wouldn’t have easily given up on her and would’ve accepted the baby for what he was, they grew separate and their relationship tore apart, and neither Armand nor Desiree did much to reconstruct their relationship and they were just being selfish and not thinking about the baby.

That crack in between is always going to affect you one way or another. That’s one of the reasons why couples fall apart. Like Desiree and Armand never really did much to help each other out or keep their love alive. Once Armand got angry and just sought away with their problems, they just kept turning their backs on each other.

Little by little we all are coming together to become one nation. Yes there is still a lot of controversy between races and sexisms and racism but lately there has been no problems at least with interracial couples Referring back to Desiree’s Baby, even if Desiree and Armand tried to work things out, all the gossip with their neighbors and family would eventually bring them both down.
