1. I do think that the thesis is explicity implied in the essay. She is trying to tell the readers all of the reasons that society has sort of made what wives are supposed to do in their marriages.
2. The effect of this repetition is that the readers get the feel of how needy some people are in their marriages. By saying "I want a wife" over again throughout the essay it lets people know all of the reasons that society thinks wives should be doing on a dailty basis.
3. I do not think that she really wants this type of wife, she is just explaining what society thinks would be the ideal wife. I don't even think a wife like this exists because they are basically completely catering for the husband and doing everything for him. I do think that some of the things she said are true, but not all of them. She probbaly wrote this essay so that people can see what society is making of wives at that time.
4. Brady defines what it's like to be a wife by stating a bunch of things that would make the perfect wife.
ex) I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a
wife's duties. But I want a wife who will listen to me when I feel the
need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my course
studies. And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I have
written them.
I don't think that wives are really like this, I think she just wanted her readers to react at what society was making of wives at that time.
5. Dear Brady,
I think your essay does a good job at making a visualization of what people think their wife should be like. I think that it shows the great differences between men and women and that sometimes people just automatically think that women will do everything in the house. I like that you wrote this essay because maybe it will open people's eyes about how we need to make men and women more equal.
