I want a wife

1. I think that the thesis statement isn't stated directly, but you can definitely tell what she's trying to get across to her readers. She's trying to tell her readers that the life of a wife is difficult and taken for granted. She wants to show how many things a wife takes care of, without complaint, and without recognition.

2. The effect of the repetition is to show how important a wife is to society and that if everyone had a wife to do everything, then your life would be so much easier.

3. I don' think that she really wants a wife, I think she's just trying to get the point across that wives are taken for granted. I don't think that this ideal spouse exists completely because everyone has a bit of defiance or rebellion in them. No one is perfect enough to not get in an argument every now and then. She wrote this essay to show how and why everyone has it so easy when they have a wife or mother. She wants wives and mothers to get some recognition for all the things they do for their family's.

4. Brady defines a wife as someone who doesn't complain, does everything she is asked, and takes care of everything. In the essay, Brady divides the services of a wife into seperate pargraphs, and in those paragraphs the sentences have relevance to one another or are talking about the same subject. I don't think that the characterization of  a wife to her is exactly how I would look at it, however, I do think  that all of the responsibilities are spot on. I think she wants her readers to realize all that a mother and wife does, and I think that she wants the mothers and wives to realize all that they do, and not put up with so much of it.

Dear Mrs. Judy Brady,
I really admire you for having the courrage to show people how it really is.  People don't seem to understand all that a mother and wife really does for the family. I know that if I didn't have my mom, my family would be in shambles.  I think that your essay will effectively show people how important a mother and wife is to a family.  I also think that it will pursuade wives and mothers to stand up for themselves and ask for something in return for a change. Husbands need to realize all that they put their wives through, and to reward them for putting up with all their crap. Kids need to realize all that their mother does for them and start helping around the house a little more. I think this essay acurately describes how most mothers and wives feel, and if everyone were to read this essay then they might be able to appreciate them more.
