Jillian Rayfield writes to the Salon on December 9th about a new increase in percentage of Americans who support same-sex marriage. She begins the article by telling the reader a new poll was made by the George Washington University which resulted in a higher percentage than those against or indifferent about the cause. Rayfield continues the article by giving more information about the remaining percentages: 30% support civil union but not marriage while 24% don't agree with neither. The author presents a quote from the Politico with more percentage stastistics and more information on how the poll occurred.
Rayfield's purpose with the article was to inform the reader. Her diction is simple yet effective, she remains impartial on the subject and doesn't try to persuade the reader in any way. She uses stastistics and facts to prove her credibility and to inform the reader with precise and accurate news.
