15、rtners. However, such marriage tends to bring about problems. Even now, mixed couples may encounter many obstacles, even strong oppositions from both family members and friends.

24、ge: Before June 12 th, 1967, interracial marriage was illegal and individual states in the US had the right to separate and punish interracial couples. These punishments included imprisonment of up to10 years. Violations included marriage, sex, and living together. On June 12 th, 1967, interracial c

25、ouples became legal thanks to the US Supreme Court decision entitled Loving v. Virginia. III. Text Structure Analysis The passage is a first person narrative about the writers own experience of a mixed marriage in America. The passage is generally organized according to time sequence, the first thin

26、g first and the second thing second. The whole text is made up of two parts.Part One (Para 1-4): This part introduces to us the love between Gail, a white woman and Mark, a black man. Gail and Mark were preparing to get married as they were sure of their love for each other, knowing each others weak

27、nesses and strengths. Furthermore, it is mentioned that their differences only enhanced their relationship, that they were prepared for their forthcoming difficulties as a mixed couple in America, and that they were sure of avoiding the mistake of not truly knowing each other. This part serves as a

28、general background for us to see what will happen for a mixed marriage in America through the example of Gail and Mark.Part Two (Para 5-21): This part can be further divided into two subparts, the opinions from Gails mother and the opinions from Gails father about Gails mixed marriage. Both the fath

29、er and the mother had reservations about Gails mixed marriage and both of them tried to persuade Gail from marrying Mark. Therefore, these two subparts are compatible to each other in matching relationship as both of them held negative opinions on Gails mixed marriage. From Paragraph 5 to Paragraph

30、9, we can find the opinions from Gails mother. Gails mother tried to persuade Gail not to get married, while Gail was arguing for herself. Even though Gails mother argued that Marks color is not the problem, she clearly expressed her concern that Gail was making a wrong decision. She concluded that

31、Gail should wait and that there was no harm in waiting. From Paragraph 10 to Paragraph 21, we can find the opinions of Gails father. Gails father suspected Marks intention in marrying Gail was to obtain American citizenship. Then Gails father continued to quote statistics showing that mixed couples

32、had higher divorce rates than couples of the same race. He also mentioned the hardships for the children of mixed marriages as an evidence to support himself. This was also refuted by Gail. At last, he warned his daughter that it was never too late to change her mind. From here we can see that some

33、Americans look at mixed marriages in a negative way.IV. Structured Writing A Paragraph of Denial of Some Opinions Followed by Some Other OpinionsA common way to present opinions or arguments is first to reject or correct some opinions or arguments and then on the basis of that, give the opinions or

34、arguments that are intended to be conveyed. The writer uses this common way to present ones opinion. Here we can study an analysis of Paragraph 7 to show how the mother presents her opinion in this way. The structure can be described in the following chart.Presentation of some ideas, opinions or arg

35、uments of another person. Correction or rejection of the ideas, opinions or arguments mentioned. Presentation of some different or even opposing ideas, opinions or arguments. Facts, reasons, or examples to support the ideas, opinions or arguments presented. Please look at the following chart again!

36、The writer presented two different ideas: one about Gails mothers early idea and the other about others peoples idea. Then she goes on to reject both of them. The two ideas and the rejections are parallel to each other. In text structure analysis, we call them a Matching Relationship of compatibilit

37、y. In other words, the two parts compare with each other in their similarity. Both of the ideas are not correct and are followed by corrections. So, we can also call them parallel structure. The mothers original opinion: To start with I must admit that at first I harbored reservations about a mixed

38、marriage, prejudices you might even call them.The mother corrects her original opinion: But when I met Mark I found him a charming and intelligent young guy. Any mother would be proud to have him for a son-in-law. So, color has nothing to do with it. The mother presents others opinion: Yes, my frien

39、ds talk. Some even express shock at what youre doing. Then the mother rejects that opinion, too: But they live in a different world. So you see, Marks color is not the problem.Students can finish Exercise XII as an assignment. They can choose a topic and write a paragraph which starts with a correct

40、ion of one idea and goes on to present another idea. In this way, students can be familiar with the writing skill.V.
