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 eaxample 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. Writing Style: 本文采用了夹叙夹议的写作手法。在文中的一些议论部分，作者采用了先“破”后“立”的手法，即先提出一些意见和观点，然后通过例证或论证加以反驳，使之不能成立，在此基础上提出自己的论点和看法。这种写作手法比一开始就提出论点更具说服力。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detailed Study
