Journal Entry

Blog Entry#1: Like most definition essays, “I Want a Wife” (pp. 520-523) uses

several patterns of development. Which ones does it use? Which of these do

you consider most important for supporting Brady’s thesis? Why?


The story "I want A Wife," it uses a lot of exemplification. She gives many examples to explain how she wants a wife, and what a wife should be like according to her.


*I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a wife's duties. (521)

*I want a wife to take care of the baby sitting arrangements. (521)

*I want a wife who will keep my house clean. (521)


Judy Brady also uses description.


*I want a wife who will work and send me to school

*I want a wife who will who will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended.

*I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs (521)


I think exemplification is the most important for supporting Brady's thesis. Exemplification will explain different behaviorism; One that she may like and dislike.
