1. I believe that the thesis is implied, I think this because she is using sarcasim to show how the stereotype of wives and women are obserd and not realistic. She doesnt come out and fully say she doesnt like the stereo type. Instead she is making fun of the idea.
2. She keeps on saying, "I want a wife" to show how important and wonderful it would be to have that kind of wife for a man. Who wouldn't want a wife? Is what she is getting at.
3. Brady doesnt actually want a wife at all. She is poking fun at the idea of men treating women like a business instead of a person. If this ideal spouse does exist then that marrage is not based off of love of feelings at all. I think Brady wrote this essay in frustration of how women were beinb treated.
4. Brady defines a wife for all the things she does for her husban and his kids. Its all the things she needs to do to make sure his life runs smoothly and he doesnt have to do anything besides work and schooling. I think it is complete bull the way a wife is described. A relationship should have two EQUAL parts, not just the husband feeding off the wife and the wife gets nothing in return. I think she wants her readers to realize how degrating this is for a women. She also wants them to see it the other way around what it a husband who has to do all that for a women.
5. I believe that in your piece "I want a Wife" you could have been much more sarcastic to get your point across. I understand what you are going for in making fun of the idea and making it seem like, who wouldnt want a wife like that? But at some points i could see men reading your piece and agreeing with everything you said and thinking it was okay to think those things because a woman is saying it too. Over all I think it is bold to speak out on such a big stereo-type at the time and I applaud you for standing up for what you think is not right and voicing your opinion.
