"I Want a Wife" Response Questions

1. I think this essay has a thesis. “As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife.”
2. I think Brady repeats the words “I want a wife” to give the reader the full effect of why she would want a wife. Each time she repeats these words she goes into detail of what a good wife is expected to do.
3. Brady never uses the personal pronouns he or she, because she is defining what kind of wife she would want and to let the reader fill in that “blank” whether it be a he or she.
4. I think she kept the first and last paragraph short so that the reader could follow along right into why Brady wrote about wanting a wife. This essay gets right to the point and that is why she keeps the first and last paragraphs brief.
5. I think everyone would want to have the ideal spouse that Brady describes, but life and people are not perfect. I think that Brady would want the wife she describes, but I think she knows that the ideal spouse doesn’t really exist. I think she wrote this essay to sort of vent to her readers and show the kind of spouse she would want to have and possibly be.
