Why I Want A Wife: Is She Attacking Marriage?
So, recently, my AP Language class and I have read and discussed "Why I Want A Wife" by Judy Brady, and let me just say it was by far one of the best discussions we have had yet! I do indeed hope to have more like them. After reading this text, I will not fib, I was enraged. Now, in the text, she talks about (sarcasticly) what a man whats. I, honestly, agreed with most of the things she was saying, although, I have to admit some of them were unethical. One of the things I agreed with that was stated in the text said, " When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife's duties." I cannot begin to tell you how offensive this text is to "a woman's duties", and the things a man wants, but back to the question. Is she attacking marriage itself? In my opinion, of course, but then again, she is being "sarcastic". Regaurdless, I think her personal opinon is that marriage may be a burden, because of what she thinks a man may want....or need. My teacher also wanted us to answer the following question: Is marraige right or wrong for you now or at any time? I know for a fact I'm not ready to get married (Don't get me wrong, I love my significant other dearly), because I have to actually get prepared for the outside world before I jump into that. So, yes, I do indeed, without a doubt, look forward to marriage, even after reading this text loaded with bologna. I believe a man and woman should share the same duties, whether it's house work, taking care of children, and to bringing in the money for the house hold. It is not just a woman's job to do these things. All I have to say is welcome to the 21st century.

Chic-fil-a Controversy Against Gay Marriage?
In my opinion, I will not lie to you, I am infuriated about this. It's not his place to say whether same sexes cannot get married. As it is proven, I highly support support gays becuase they are still people. I have interviewed people about the controversy from both sides. Here's what interviewee #1 had to say. "My opinion on gay marriageis that it's religiously wrong. However, as beings, we were born with free will and in a free country. If a gay couple chooses to burn in the lake of fire in passion with said his/her partner, then that's their business." I cannot believe he is siding with Dan Cathy, Chic-fil-a Pres. & C.O.O and man who started this entire controversy. Being able to see pass people who are prejudice against gays ignorance, I interviewed another person who had something to say about same sex marriage. "I support gay marriage because they have just as much of a right to get married without being judged by ANYONE." After watching the video, even though I made my opinon well before watching it, my personal opinon is descriminating against gay marriage bullying, and I will not stand for it. I make friends with anyone regaurdless of sexual orientation. How do people sleep at night knowing your hurting someone? It's just not logical and ignorant, becuase anti-gays refuse to look at the other side from a gay's view.
