Here's a complete version of the question:

How does the revelation at the end of the story "Désirée's Baby" contribute to the story's theme?

The last line did not only reflect the racial theme of the short story, but also revealed the theme of a mother's love and how that love can instinctively affect the decisions you make later on in life.The racial themes are apparent first in the characters need to hide any kind of evidence that they have black blood. Even if people in the South knew you had a distant relative who was black, they would still view you as inferior to the white race. This is the reason the author suggests people didn't take to the beautiful Désirée. People didn't know her origins. The Valmondes found her as a baby, and although they did their best to put the rumors to rest, people still find it difficult to believe that she was purely white.

It is quite fascinating that Armand is not only bowled over by her but doesn't care about her origins. As the author states, “he was reminded that she was nameless. What did it matter about a name when he could give her one of the oldest and proudest in Louisiana?” Rather than follow his thoughts, he does what the author says all his family did and goes by his instincts.

Inessa [10]

At the start of the meeting, <em>where </em>breakfast was served.

It features as an adjective even though it is made up of a set of phrases instead of just one word. inside the case of an adjective clause, all the words paintings collectively to modify the noun or pronoun.

1. King lists a number of historical examples of civil disobedience. For each example there were hundreds, thousands, even milli
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Citizens choose to be silent about a law they may find unjust because they are afraid of what could happen to them if they disobey the just and unjust laws.  

According to King, unjust laws are not moral with the current law, as an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. He also says that the unjust law is not a law at all and that the unjust segregation law distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.

King also states that he will invite all the citizens to disobey the segregation laws because they are morally wrong.
