Last week's assignment:
  • do exercise on parallel structure (handout)
  • Summarize the essay "I Want a Wife" by writing a long sentence (or two) that lists the qualities that Brady is looking for. Use parallel structure (EX: Judy Brady wants a wife who will take care of the children, clean the house, ....)
  • Write your own "I Want a ________" You can write a satirical piece like Brady, you can write a contemporary version of the essay (reflecting how wive's roles have changed)or you can create a new topic. You should use parallel elements in your essay.
