1. This essay has a very explicitly stated thesis.The thesis is stating the reasons why she would like to have a wife while poking fun at home much husbands expect their wife's to do.
2. When Brady repeats "I want a wife" in her essay, I really start to understand how women are treated by men in some marrages. I think the hypocracy shown in this essay is very true.
3. I don't think Brady would like a wife like this because Brady know's the way the wife would be treateed is unfair. I do think the ideal spouse exist somewhere in the world. I think Brady wrote this essay to mock the hyppocracy shown by men when trying to find the "perfect" wife.
4. Brady defines a "wife" as a slave by having them do whatever the husband tells them. Brady organizes all the services a wife provides in order of when they're needed by the husband. The the characterization of Brady's opinion of what a wife should be is spot on. I feel that men actually do expect all these things from their spouse. I think Brady wants the audience to respond in an appalled manner due to how much a wife does for their spouse.
5. Dear ms. Brady,
I really admire how you explained the unjust way wifes are treated. I think you did an amazing job describing and depicting every single little detail involved about the standards wifes have to live up to. You also do a good job at showing how quickly some men move on after they get tierd of their current wife. You made me feel like such a hypocrite just being a man, so I think you did an amazing job pursueding your audience.Thank you for exposing the hypocracy women face during marrage.

James thurber satire
My two favorite story's out of this selection were "The Bear" and "The Little Girl and The Wolf". The reason i liked these stories is because they both had a very surprising ending. Thurber's stories began sounding very similar to other stories i've heard, but ended up nothing like anything i've ever heard. I think James uses satire by showing what he thinks would really happen now in the present in those types of situations. For example, nobody i know would ever get tricked by a random wolf in the forest, and on top of that, everyone i know would shoot the wolf if they had a gun, which is exactly how that situation went down in Jame's story.

essay's
A Love Beyond Boundaries
I thought this essay was a beautifully written essay with amazing metaphors and good similies. This essay stood out because it talks about a topic not often spoke of, adoption. I thought the writer portrayed how amazing adoption really is and did it with style.
The Value of the Middle
I thought the essay was fantastic. i appreciate how the author spoke about the pressures of being in the middle of situation. She also did an amazing job at suggesting that you don't ever need to be one extremem or the other, being in the middle and having different points of view then others is a position thing.
To Be the Best Humans We Can Be
This was my favorite essay so far. The author did a great job at describing the scene and showing me (the audience) how he really felt and what he was going through. I thought that the essay gave out good standards for how to live out one's life.
Disrupting My Comfort Zone
This was an amazing article. I love how the article talked about facing challenges head on and to make the most out of the life we're given. The author described how he puts himself in hard situations so he can grow because he lives by the motto "if you're not growing, you're dying".

The artillery echoed throughout the valley after the attempt to assassinate the leader of the rebellion failed. Our army of faceless soldier's was no match for their brawny contraption which wiped out our entire force. the survivors had to endure excruciating torture encircling the vacuum that was our new lives. With a colossal bang, a bright luminance shined on us and we had been freed.

SLAP! My face hits the ground causing huge rubling sound like an earthquake. I am sudden to get up, ready to quarrel. Just then, I realize that my wife had just slapped me. like a lightining bolt, im shocked, surprised that the love of my life would do something of such nature.
"let me show you what im talking about when I talk about the mac attack" I tell my buddy as we stroll through the streets of downtown columbus. "Im going to get this girl's number right here, just watch" As the very beautiful girl walks closer and closer, i prepare to bust out the mac attack. With each step , i feel an added sense of urgancy flowing though my body like an electric shock! I start to make my move as I seductively wink at the girl walking past. "ewwwwwwwwwwww" says the girl. All of my dreams cruched, with one long and idiodic sounding word.

As I wake up one morning, I feel a sudden urge to ball so hard. So I get out of my Squishy and soft temperpidic bed and make an amazing seafood breakfast for me and my family. My mother, which i refer to as jay, walks down and suddenly yells "that shit cray", and I respond with a yell "aint it jay?!" The look on her faced turned from a morning morn to an excited expression. My mother was so excited about the breakfast that she decided to buy me a mouse! I was filled with an exuberant feeling that over powered me. I had always wanted a pet mouse! I forgot about the delicous breakfast that was sitting on the table and rushed outside to ball with my mouse. He balled so hard mutha fuckas wanna find me. Soon everyone heard of my amazing mouse and gave me offers of up to a million dollars to sell it. But i was already too attached. We were the best of friends until suddenly out of the sky an eagle came and snatched my mouse from me! I ran after the eagle, chasing it through backyards and roads but eventually he went out of sight. I looked around frantically as i realized i no longer knew where i was or how to get home. I walked into the nearest building which was a chase bank to ask for directions. After waiting in line it was finally my turn when there was a massive explosion followed by a man in a mask yelling " nobody move this is a robbery".

Get-get-down on the ground! everyone did just what he said and got down on the ground, that is everyone besides me!

I think he heard it because he walked over to me "put it in the bag" he said. I out my phone in the bag and he walked away.

senior comp, its a boy!
When I walked into that crowded entryway, I got some very weird looks and quite a few raised eyebrows.
As I struggled carrying the fake baby into the overpacked entryway, i got some scary stares that pierced my heart, making me feel akward.
My friends came over, and we all piled into the car.
My friends are all frantically jumping into the car, piling ontop of each other like little kids fighting for car space.
These people were giving me rude looks and forming judgments about me because they thought I was a teenage mom
These people are giving me piercing looks of hate with a mixture of dissapointments as I carry the plastic eyebrow raising doll. I recieve looks of judgement as if I just was committed of a horrible crime.
