In appearances the author uses fancy language to try to implicitly infect the reader with his point of view using complicated diction and specialized syntax that requires in depth thought and insight to understand. Wolfsan's structure, rather, is very organized and laid out. It is quite easy to determine from the reading the point of the passage and the idea being presented. He simply begins with a thesis that summarizes his thoughts and backs up his thesis and the rest of his argument with a wide variety of sources. he also chooses the focus of his argument quite well. He appeals to the audience with sources like a court case, which makes his point difficult to disagree with, and he avoids the more tentative issues which will encourage a reader to ignore the material being presented, regardless of its truth. As such, he does not bring up the controversial issue of gay marriage, choosing rather to present issues like all of the other issues that gay couples are being specifically denied.
