response to wives

1 The thesis was implied and I believe it is that the wives are expected to do a lot and get nothing out of it.

2 The repetitions create a stronger point for her.

3 She doesn't want a wife like that and the ideal wife she describes doesn't actually exsist.

4 She defines a wife by describing the life of one but exagerated. She organizes the services from less common activities to more common in years past. Her characterization of a wife is long winded but it shows what people want but that it is immpossible for a wife to do that. She wants her readers to relize that this woman doesn't exsist a wife may have some of these characteristics but not all, and they should give wives more credit then they get.

5 I want a wife was a some what eye opening read for me because it let me see all the things that wives have expected of them and what they try to do. To be a wife is a hard task to handle proved by your writing. It was a very pressuasive read for me and changed my thoughts on wives. The way that women are thought to do all of the things expected is not what it should be it should be that the women and the men share these duties. This is an ever changing soceity so men need to expect less and help more.
