To start off her essay, Brady tells the reader very briefly about her situation; she is a wife and a mother. A friend of hers had recently divorced and is now looking for a new wife. And in talking to her friend, she contends that she too would like to have a wife. A wife that will financially support her and those who depend on her. So, she would like a wife who will not only support her, but her children as well. In everyway. Her wife should pay for everything, keep track of appointments, and take care of the children’s needs and wants as well. I think Brady made a good point in the beginning of this essay. I don’t think Brady is being serious when saying this. You sort of have to think of it backwards to know what she means. She points out, using sarcasm, that it is ridiculous to expe

ct all of this of a wife. She is asking, “Why can’t I have a person to do this for me?”

Brady vies that a wife take care of various social gatherings that the husband may plan. The wife should make sure that the children are well fed and put to bed before any guest arrive so no one is bothered. She should make a “special” meal and serve the meal to the guests without in any way disturbing their conversation. Brady also argues that the wife should take care of each guest and replenish their needs, such as wine glasses, coffee cups, or perhaps another plate of food. I thought this was an excellent example. It’s ridiculous that the wife is supposed to take care of her husband and his guests! I think from this point on, Brady gets slightly more serious about the issue she addresses: The severity of the examples increases.
