(End Result... The wants of life based on ideas of a wife)
 * Geoff Ferguson's I want a wife (responce... First draft)**

I Want A Wife Life is full of wants and needs. It is a daily actively for many of us to dream or gossip about what we want or need in our lives. It is very common for ones live to be I need, I need, I want. When really is that what life is all about? I know from personal experiences that there are many things that I will impulsively buy and down the road only use that item for a short time. When Brady talks about the needs and the wants of a wife I question her for is that all a wife is worth? What about having a wife because you have differences and that is what brings the two of you together. Is the want for a wife only there for someone to take care of you and to doctor you? As Brady would describe a wife to be the family doctor who is in charge of the important things so that one will not have to take any responsibility of their own actions. The want and need for a wife is much more than just the doctoring done by her, but the attraction of what makes her the one for you. As it is seen in many households the dad is the man of the house. He is expected to take car of his children and wife as they are his responsibility and it is his duty to care for them and keep a finically steady life style for the family. “ My wife //must// arrange to lose time at work and not the job”(Brady,277). Is it the wives responsibly and only her to los time at work to tend to the family? What happened to the man of the house being their for his kids. Although his work might be very important it is also important to have a family as first priority. Since when did it become the females job to tend to everything and every need of her that the family as a whole might require? I pose the question because it was often times my dad who would pick me up from the baby sitter and shuttle me to my practices. There were many times that my mother could not make it and although dad was busy too it was he who came to the rescue. A child does not understand how busy their parents may be at work nor do they care. What is important to them is that they get to the soccer field and play with their friends. By being organized and self dependent one will gain much more respect fro themselves from others. On the other end of the spectrum is the lazy person who’s life relays solely on those around him and what they do for him. “… a wife ho will take care of my physical needs”(Brady,177). Being to busy and exhausted is one thing but to rely solely on your wife to take care of you and your //physical// needs, you must gain more respect for yourselves. There is not one man that I know who can truly state he relies on his wife to wipe his ass. It is pitiful to think about a wife as a personal slave. You must take responsibility for your own actions and learn that time management will lead you to great success in life and with your relationship. It is diminishing to think of a women as a wife who must control your life, her children’s life, and her own. How much responsibility can you put on ones shoulders? Brady describes a wife as a family slave. One who is there to not only make sure the families life is all set and ordered yet to keep track of her own life. The amount of stress put on a wife with these standards would drive anyone to go insane. There is no way in my mind that I could ever depend on someone else for every single one of my own actions. It is not only disgusting and pitiful it is down right wrong. Not all women are made to be wives, but those who are will not be known as family slaves. It is very important that one is determined, organized, and independent. Any one who would want a wife based on these standards is not only lazy but insulting. I want a wife, a loving, caring, and independent wife.

Being a Man response #1/ Draft**
 * Whose Paper is this?????Stephen Tappings

One day my dad decides to sit down and have a talk with me. He told me something I wouldn’t forget for the rest of my life. He told me “to be your own person and don’t let anyone tell you different, and being masculine or a sports jock or a preppy kid isn’t what you should be ever concerned with.” This was a big effect on me and made me realize to be whomever I want to be and don’t let anyone get in front of that. I agree with some of what Paul says in __Being a Man__ but not all of it. When Paul talks about the disadvantages of being a man and how he hates it I totally disagree. Being a man has many advantages and disadvantages but that’s life. I feel that Paul was a very disturbed person in his life and didn’t have a loved one to be with. I know that he loved writing and back then he couldn’t be a writer because it wasn’t manly or anything and only women were mainly writers. I also thought it was odd that if you asked too many questions about sex at a younger age then you were sent to a boys camp “the nightmare”. When he was younger he had talked about how he thought sports were wasteful and humiliating and the idea of manliness was a bore. I think that not many younger students believed this and most of them either playing a sport or watching it. He wasn’t a normal child growing up he had to have some major problems with his school, family, or friends. He goes into a lot of detail about being a man. The ups and downs, how being manliness is a bore, it’s very hard to imagine any concept of manliness that doesn’t be little women. This all makes me feel that he was pushed to do a lot of things that he didn’t want to do growing up. He felt like he needed to go against whatever he was forced into doing. So later in life he did what he wanted to do not what other people wanted him to do. He also said that the quote “be a man” struck him as insulting and abusive. This again makes me feel that he hated being a man and he wanted nothing to do with it. I don’t know of many people back then that felt the same way he did about life in general. Most average men back then liked women liked sports and enjoyed what they did. He wasn’t a masculine person because if he was then he probably would feel a lot different about everything. For example sports and women he would have a different input on if he was more masculine. He is a very simple minded man he has his beliefs and his mind doesn’t change. Paul views being a man in lots of ways we don’t really look at it. His view on being a man is in some cases sexist. Paul’s examples of masculinity are very good in depth examples of the disadvantages. He doesn’t look at the advantages of being a man at all and that may anger some readers. When I first read this story I could understand where he’s coming from and how he views it. I thought of Paul as a lonely person who is angered simple as that. But in all realization he’s just someone who views being a man differently than others.
