"I want a wife" by Judy Brady. Brady describes the everyday duties and expectations of a mother and wife. She expresses that their wants and needs are often unimportant and that they are not appreciated for the dedication and hard work they provide for their family. Brady explains she wants a wife as well, one that will take care of everything and never expect anything in return. I believe Brady’s purpose of the article is to make people aware of all the time they put into having a family and all of the personal sacrifices they make as well.
"Men-It's in Their Nature" by Christina Hoff Sommers. Sommers describes the expectations of gender roles between boys and girls. Boys are considered greater risk takers and girls are more nurturing."Boys like action,competitive roughhousing, and inanimate objects, and they are the one group of Americans who do not spend a lot of time talking about feelings." Gender reformers are set in place to re socialize boys, freeing them from male stereotypes. (Sommers 366) Masculine traits are thought to be hard wired in males.
I will be writing about "I want a wife" by Judy Brady for my analysis essay. I find this article to be very interesting. I like how she uses sarcasm in her article, I can relate to a lot of the duties of being a mother and wife. But, I can say my hard work is always noticed and appreciated around here.
I think you put more effort into analyzing these artciles rather than simply summarizing them, and your punctuation is often confusing, but otherwise, good job!
ReplyDeleteDecent summaries on both and nice reflections of purpose of each article. Reminder, though, with summaries, we don't use anything directly cited from the texts itself, as a summary should be entirely in your own words. Always review your posts prior to posting them to ensure you are double checking minute details of grammar and spelling errors.
