1) Yes I do. His thesis is that he wants a wife who is going to take care of all his needs!
2) to show what he wants in a wife.
3) yes , i really do think this because it is what she wants. But, no i dont thiink that person exists because no one is that perfect.i think she wrote this to express what kind of wife she wanted in life.
4) because she describes the things a wife should have or do. she organizes them from the most important to the least important. i think her standards are very good but they are too high and thats why i think this person will be hard to find. i think she wants them to respond in shock and a little humorous, because some things she says can make you giggle a little. i also think she wants them to understand her though.
5) Dear Brady,
As I read your essay I was thinking like wow this is the perfect wife. She is basically taking care of everything and anything that needs to be done. Yes, having a wife like that would be amazing. I'd be the happiest husband alive, but I don't like the idea of the wife doing everything. It takes two to have a wonderful marriage, and if the wife is doing everything then she obviously doesn't need a man in her life. In this day and age the women is more independent now, and there are less stay at home moms now. If a wife did everything you said in your essay then she would be miserable, hands down. She has no time to herself in this sistuation she always pleasing other people and not herself. Your essay is persuading to want a women like that, but it's also a turn off to me because I can't imagaine someone being treated like that. The husband is obvioulsy a bum and doesn't care about her feelings
Jay, I'm glad that even though this would be an easy way for a man to go through life, that you are NOT in favor of such a situation. Judy Brady, the woman who satirically wrote this, would agree with you; she makes it evident in this piece just how UNFAIR such a life would be if all these expectations were on the woman
