I Want a Wife, by Judy Brady was written with the purpose of
divulging, in abundance, what the roles of a wife and mother are, compared to
the husbands contribution - or lack of.
She stresses the theme that a wife and mother's duties are unending and taken
for granted. Brady uses "I want a
wife" multiple times, in almost every paragraph, pounding home the presumptiveness
of a house wife's job description.
Men - It's Their Nature
by Christina Sommers makes the
point, based on scientific studies and research, that society cannot change male
/ boy characteristics. And that the
attempt to use "gender reformers" to "free boys from male
stereotypes" is against nature. The author presents a personal experience
with her own son, that backs her opinion. Sommer agrees that society should continue to
use the "proven"... "traditional approach" through "character
education" that creates well rounded, "conscientious" young
adult males. (Sommers, page 367, paragraph 13)
I've decided to write my analysis essay on I Want a Wife because it really struck a chord with me. I've observed my own mother during this generation, circa 1970's, and I have my own experiences as a stay at home wife and mom. I'm now, also, observing and conversing with my daughters and their relationship dynamics. I'm curious about Brady's choice to use sarcasm and anger to get her point across. It's very interesting!

Very good blog! You explain thigs well. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I like that you noted Brady's repetitive us of "I want a wife" to further the ideas in her article. I think your reasons for why you're choosing Brady's article are interesting as well. I hope you learn something new from your analysis!
ReplyDeleteWow! outstanding job. The way you write has a certain special glimmer to it. Keep writing, I would love to see your future work.
ReplyDeleteSpot on with your summaries. Although a summary is in your own words, I think with your second overview of the second article, doing so by using paraphrasing, makes it as strong. I am interested in your interpretation of her sarcasm, so I look forward to reading your essay and seeing your view point!
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job on on your summaries, I thought they got the points of the two articles across rather well. I also think your reasons for choosing Brady's piece are pretty intriguing.
