Unit 2 comparison
Text A Say Yes
Text B Arrangement in Black and White
The main topic of Unit2 is the problem between black and white, both texts concentrate on this point. And through attentive reading, I find the language skills in two articles are similar to each other. They both descript the dialog between people as vividly as the real life circumstances. And though this live conversation, the character is unfolded before the reader’s eyes, and helps us to understand the article better. But there are also differences between the two, for example, the writing angle and the general position adopted by the characters.
As for the writing angle, Text A happens between a couple’s normal talking, though the article introduces the different opinions the couple take towards the problem that should black and white get into marriage, the real contradiction is “will you still marry me if I were black”. In this perspective, the black problem lead this couple to gaze at their relationship but not really be discussed. Text B happens on a party where a woman wants to be introduced to a colored singer, and then they have a conversation concerns about black.
For the second difference, the woman in Text A doesn’t care about the color problem, she thinks lots of thing above racism such as true love, while the man thinks the because of the culture difference and the background, the two can’t understand each other. While the woman in Text B pretends to be kind and open-minded with niggers, she despises and be afraid of them.
