A response to wives

1. I believe that the implied thesis of this essay is that wives are to care for all needs of the family, and expect nothing in return.
2.  The effect of restating "I want a wife" in this essay is to strengthen the point, to make people think to themselves "I want a wife like that,"
3.  Brady does not actually want a wife like this. The purpose of this essay would be to satirize the culture of the time, in which wives were expected to be like this. I do not believe that a spouse of that nature nature exist.
4.  In this essay, Brady defines being a wife as "one who takes care of all needs of the family, and selflessly considers the husband's needs at all times." I do not believe that a wife should have all of these responsibilities, and that the jobs should be shared in caring for a family. I do believe that this is the intended reaction Brady wanted for her essay.
5. Dear Ms. Brady,
     In your essay, "I want a wife," I find that you make a strong message to the reader about what is "expected fo a wife." It is pursuasive in the fact that it shows that the wife is put up to rediculous expectations, ones which are impractical, if not impossible to fulfill. I admire your use of the jobs and point of view to show the need for the wife to be essentially, a robot whose sole responsibility is to fulfill the needs of the family and have no needs of her own. I admire the strength of your essay, and commend your ability to put out such a resounding message to the reader.
