Annotated Bibliography
Chopin, Kate. Complete Novels and Stories. New York: Library of America, 2002. Print. Chopin's short story collections 'A Night in Acadie' and 'Bayou
Folk', found with other writings here, reflect the Acadian and Creole

I will use the content of the film to illuminate the cultural gap between the upper-class white Creole society into which Edna Pontellier has married and the poor and working class Creoles she visits throughout the novel.

this article to fortify the definitions of creole and creolization I put
