    Kayla King English 1102 I want a wife When reading the story‚ I want a wife by Judy Brady‚ I really got me thinking.

    “The Loving Story” directed by Nancy Buirski‚ aired on HBO as a documentary on Valentine’s Day 2012. It is unique in its style as a documentary as it neither endeavors to change its viewers opinion on the matter of miscegenation‚ nor does it attempt to elicit a response for further change. “The Loving Story” has only two objectives‚ the first is to preserve history‚ and the second is to educate viewers on another element of the long struggle for integration and equality for African American’s in

    The Good Wife Guide The “Good Wife Guide” is an advisory text from the 1950’s telling typical 1950’s women on how to accomplish their role as a “good wife”. The mood set throughout the entire text is completely imperative based (e.g. “Clear away clutter” and “Be happy to see him”). This creates a rather stern and overpowering tone‚ connoting that women in the 1950’s were being ‘told’ what to do. Other parts of the text seem to suggest that women had no right to make any individual decisions and

The repetition of “I want a wife who will…” is used effectively to emphasis the husband’s selfishness. Brady is right when she lays out a list of what most women are expected do after
