tried to talk to her dad about her marriage with Mark.Her father asked the same question as GaiTsmother.Dad:Why the haste?Who is this Mark?Whats his citizenship status?He just tries to stay in US by marrying you!Gail:But Dad,thats harsh!Dad:Then why the rush?Buy time,buy time.Gail:Mark has had problems with citizenship before and has always taken care of them himself.In fact,he made it clear whenwe were discussing marriage that if I had any doubts about anything,I should not hesitate to cancel our plan.Dad:Have you thought about the hardships your children would go through?Gail:Dad,are you a racist?Dad:No,of course not.But you have to be realistic.Gail:Maybe our children will have some problems,but whose children dont?But one thing theyH always have:our love anddevotioin.Dad:Thats idealistic.People can be very cruel toward children from mixed marriages.Gail:Dad,well worry about that when the time comes.If we had to resolve all doubt before we acted,very little would everget done.Dad:Remember,its never too late to change your mind.IL Global StudyI)The questions to the understanding of the text:1).For what two reasons did Gail and Mark live together?(Gail and Mark lived together for two years before they decided to marry.The following two reasons can best explain whythey did so.For one reason,they just wanted to get to know each other and have a better understanding of the weaknesses andstrengths of each others characters before their marriage.For another,they wanted to marry for the right reasons.Eventhough they were not sure what the future held for them,they wanted to avoid the mistake made by many other mixed couples.)2).How did Gairs father and mother react to the news about the wedding plans?(On hearing the news of their wedding plans,Gails mother,though all along supportive of her daughters relationship withthe black man,still showed her worry that Gail would marry Mark for the same wrong reasons that she had done with Gailsfather.In response to the matter,however,Gaifs father thought Mark might take advantage of this marriage to obtainAmerican citizenship.He used statistics on mixed marriages,his counseling experience and childrens problems to warn hisdaughter against rushing into marriage without thinking enough about it.)3).In what ways are Gails and her fathers views different?(In response to whether to marry right now or later on,Gail and her father held views contrary to each other.Gail argued theywould rather marry now and worry later.She believed if they had to clear up all uncertainty before they married,they couldhave little to get done.As a contrast,GaiFs father asked his strong-willed daughter to buy time and to be realistic about theirmarriage.He wanted to persuade her to change her mind by giving examples of mixed marriage and reminding her that it wasnever too late to change her mind.)II)SummaryGail and Mark decided to marry despite their racial and cultural differences after being together fbr two years and getting toknow each other better,but the plan met with opposition from the girls parentsIll)Text Analysis:Main idea and devices for developing itPart I(paras.1-4):Main Idea:Two years of living together,plus racial and cultural differences,enhanced the relationshipbetween Gail and Mark so much that they decided to marry even though they did not know what the future would hold for themas a mixed couple.Devices for developing it:Narration:The story is told in the first person.Through his narrative,the writer,a blackman,tells the reader his mixed marriage:Part II(paras.5-9):Main Idea:Gails mothers reaction to their wedding plan,she reaffirmed that Marks color was not theproblem.Her biggest worry was that Gail might be marrying Mark for the same wrong reasons as she had.Devices for developing it:ArgumentationTypical example of argumentation by rejecting the first idea and presenting some other idea.1.Present original ideas:(The mother presents her original opinion.)2.Reject the ideas:(The mother corrects her original opinion.)3.Present some other ideas:(The mother presents her opinion and gives an example to support it.)4.Present others,opinion:Yes,my friends talk.Some even express shock at what you are doing.(Para.7)5.Reject the opinion:But they live in a different world.So,color is not the problem.(Para.7)6.Present some other idea:My biggest worry is that you may be marrying Mark for the same wrong reasons that 1 marriedyour father.(Para.7)Part III(paras 10-21):Main Idea:GaiFs fathers reaction to their wedding
