1. The thesis of the story is not clear in the story but I believe that it is that we all want a person in our lives that matches up to the things listed in the story but that person doesn't exsist.
2. The author uses repetition to emphisize that the common stereotype of a wife is all the things that is listed.
3.I think Brady does not want the spouse listed in the story because #1 that person deosnt exsist and #2 there would be no emotional relation to the other.
4. What Brady is trying to get through to the reader is that the spouse in the story doesn't exsist and to expect that from either side is a foolish request in itself.

Dear Brady,
I throughly enjoyed your satire of the common sterotype of a wife. The overal impossiblitity of what is asked from a wife is quite evident in your writings. A marriage should not be all about one party of the relationship but have a mutual respect for the wife and husband. Even though everyone knows that one person who is going to take care of every one of your needs is but a fantasy, it is a rather interesting and comical idea to play around with in your head. I really enojyed your satire on everyday life.
-sincerely,
Patrick Tate Greuling
Glad you saw the humor in her satire...she certainly makes me think about some things twice! Good letter
