The passage is generally organized according to time sequence, the first thing first and the second thing second. The whole text is divided into two parts. Part One ( Paras. 1-4 ) — This part introduces to us the love between Gail, a white woman and Mark, a black man. It serves as a general background for us to see what will happen for a mixed marriage in America through the example of Gail and Mark. Part Two （ Paras. 5-21） — This part can be further divided into two subparts, the opinions from Gail’s mother and the opinions from Gail’s father about Gail’s mixed marriage. Gail’s parents had their own reservations about their daughter’s mixed marriage and both of them tried to persuade Gail from marrying Mark.
