...As part of his accounting business, Rick has private clients, corporations, and does some pro bono work. 4. A new job is likely to cause a person anxiety, but working extra hours is likely to make a good impression. Exercise 3 2. “Caught in” and “tied in”. King used two parallel verb phrases followed by an abstract idea. The parallelism creates a wise tone in the sentence which keeps them awake, alert, and listening. 4. “Collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action”. King uses parallel phrases that all relate back to a nonviolent campaign. His use of parallelism appeals to logos, as he provides the audience with a list of action. 6. “extremist for love”, “extremist for justice”, and “extremist for the Christian gospel: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus?" Was not Martin Luther an extremist”. King paralleled the phrase “extremist for…” followed by a cause and preceded by a famous example. He then used a quote to prove the point he was making. The parallel structures provides a lot of emphasis, which supports the point King was trying to make. The parallelism attributes to a great deal of logos as well. Exercise 5 2. “Alas, art is long and life is short” Type: Antithesis Effect:Franklin’s use of anaphora conveys to the audience the obvious length of time that are lives that is much longer than the human life by comparing the two unlike concepts. c. Sentence: The mother is upstairs...

...grammar, parallelism, also known as parallel structure or parallel construction, is a balance within one or more sentences of similar phrases or clauses that have the same grammatical structure.[1] The application of parallelism improves writing style and readability, and is thought to make sentences easier to process.[2] Parallelism is often achieved using antithesis, anaphora, asyndeton, climax, epistrophe, and symphonic.[3] : Lacking parallelism: She likes cooking, jogging, and to read. Lacking parallelism: "He likes to swim and running". Parallel: She likes cooking, jogging, and reading. Parallel: She likes to cook, jog, and read. Parallel: "He likes to swim and run." Parallel: "He likes swimming and running." In the above example, the first sentence has two gerunds and one infinitive. To make it parallel, the sentence can be rewritten with three gerunds or three infinitives. Lacking parallelism: The dog ran across the yard, jumped over the fence, and down the alley he sprinted. Parallel: The dog ran across the yard, jumped over the fence, and sprinted down the alley. Note that the first nonparallel example, while inelegantly worded, is grammatically correct: "cooking," "jogging," and "to read" are all grammatically valid conclusions to "She likes." The second nonparallel example is not grammatically correct: "down the alley he sprinted" is not a grammatically valid conclusion to "The dog."

...In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Charlotte Perkins Gilman shows the reader the troubled life of the narrator by showing parallelism through many aspects of her surroundings. The narrator is a woman who is mentally unstable and has been diagnosed with a nervous disorder and her husband, John, believes the way for her to begin getting well is by taking her to a colonial mansion and keeping her away from the public eye. He puts her in a room in the top of the house that is lined with yellow wallpaper and keeps her there until he finds her to be well again. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Gilman uses the description of the mansion, the room, and the wallpaper to give the readers an insight into the troubled life of the narrator. In the short story, the readers are first introduced to the narrator when she and her husband arrive at the mansion. When they arrive there, she describes the outside of the mansion as the” most beautiful place and as a colonial mansion”(542). In the story, she states that “It makes me think of English places that you read about, for there are hedges and walls and gates that lock, and lots of separate houses for the gardeners and people. There is a delicious garden!” (542). The author uses this to help show the reader the parallelism between the outward appearance of the mansion to the outward appearance of the narrator, and how they are both beautiful. This could also show the complexity of both the mansion and the narrator. She also states, “That...

...Artifact Rationale 1 In the poem Regret Today by Catherine Pulsifer, Rahim Khan offers Amir an opportunity for redemption by using parallelism, diction and metaphors, when he calls him on June 2001 to tell him to come to Pakistan. Firstly, he uses parallelism in the first stanza to portray the numerous amounts of times that Amir feels regret throughout the novel. Since Rahim Khan knew about Hassan’s rape “shortly after it happened”, he suspected that Amir was feeling sorrowful after it took place (Hosseini, 315). An instance of this was at Amir’s birthday party when he saw him leaning against a wall and told him that he “can tell [him] anything [he] want. Anytime” (106). This shows that he had doubts about Amir’s sorrow and regret before he moved to America. As a result, he uses parallelism to ask multiple questions that a person might ask while regretful. Similarly, he uses parallelism in the second stanza in...

...During his second term as President began, Abraham Lincoln faced a largely divided country because of the civil war. It was one of the bloodiest war in American history for either sides. As the war slowly halted to a stop, Abe Lincoln and his forces had slowly pushed the South into a corner. Lincoln’s aim was not to finish off the South, but instead wanted unity and balance between the Northern states and the Southern. Abe Lincoln knew that he needed to take hold of this war and the only way he even had hope to govern each of regions was to recombine them into one country. He reached out to the South as family, all the while condemning them for their actions through subtle statements and sentences that appealed to both sides. He uses parallelism...

...The use of parallelism as a literary device revolves around the repetition of words and sentences as a primary method of generating rhythm and meter. The poem "Learning to Love America" includes an extensive use of parallelism with the primary effect of juxtaposing ideas with contrasting meaning as a means of showing their differences or relationship. In some cases, the parallelism is created through grammatical construct which highlights an element of simplicity in this poem in its attempt to convey its message. The effective use of repetition and contrast in this poem set it as a distinct example in which parallelism stands out as the main literary device outlining the structure of the poem. The sentence "because the water of the ocean is...

...The contradictive topic of environmentalism leads to unproductive discussions. Edward O. Wilson’s satire illustrates this concept through a unique structure, parallelism, and diction. The discussions of the topic, environmentalism, are unproductive and redundant in nature. The parallelism of the two passages show how contradictive both arguments are. In the beginning, the passages both share the commonality of name calling. The use of parallelism illustrates how a discussion of this topic is useless. If both sides of the argument are only coming up with statements to oppose each other, there can not be a clear victor. In this circumstance, parallelism serves to primarily illustrate the satirical lens of the argument. Both passages view the ultimate agenda of the environmentalist and the “brown- lasher;” both claiming that each other is after either capitalism, or governmental power. The obvious structure of the passages, also illustrate that there is an unsettling nature of environmentalist discussions. The divisions of the two topics into two separate passages show how people are contradictive. This also emphasizes on the parallelism of the two passages. Parallelism in the entirety of the passages exemplifies that the nature of such discussions are ridiculous and unproductive in nature. The satirical lens of the literary work cannot be over looked. The sarcastic and critical diction emphasizes on the opposing attitudes about environmentalism. Additionally...

...diction, parallelism, and juxtaposition. Throughout the speech he adopts a passionate and inspirational tone in order to motivate and give hope to his war-weary audience. Lincoln uses repeated diction to capture the reader’s attention and achieve his purpose of dedicating the ground. Repeated diction is the use of same grammatical structure within a sentence to show that topic is all of the same level of importance. Lincoln uses this rhetorical strategy when he states several times throughout his speech, “Now we are engaged in a great civil war…” “We are met on a great battle-field…” “We have come to dedicate a portion of that field…” “It is altogether fitting proper that we should do this,” (lines 4-8). By using the word “we” repeatedly Lincoln is making everybody in his...

...The excerpt provided from The Great Influenza uses multiple forms of rhetoric. The author, Barry, uses these rhetorical strategies to characterize scientific research. In characterizing scientific research, Barry uses strategies such as parallelism, deductive reasoning, and diction. These rhetorical strategies create a tone for the passage and provide supporting evidence for any claim the author may make. Parallelism is the way a sentence is structure in which similar words are used to support a specific claim. There are multiple examples of Barry using parallelism in this passage. One is in paragraph four, “There a single step can take them through the looking glass into a world that seems entirely different, and if they are at least partly correct their probing acts like a crystal to precipitate an order out of chaos, to create form, structure, and direction.” This is a very detailed sentence, but the parallelism does not come out until the end. When Barry is describing the probing acts, he mentions creating form. In creating form, one must also create structure and direction. Form is the organization of a particular thing based on being structured and having...

...The Mayflower Compact, the Preamble to the Constitution, and the Star-Spangled Banner are all important documents that helped shape the United States. Each of these texts uses rhetorical devices to make their writing more persuasive or impactful. Parallelism, capitalization, and loaded language are all used in each of these documents to make their messages more meaningful and clearer. Parallelism is the repetition of similar grammatical structures in writing, which makes it more organized and easier to follow. In the Mayflower Compact, parallelism is used to stress the settler's shared purpose. For example, the text says, "solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together." The repeated...

...reflects on Reagan’s great personality and complements his work as president. Thatcher utilizes informal but respectful words, parallelism, and contrast to convince the audience of Reagan’s good character, and his importance to America along with the rest of the world. Thatcher uses a distinctly informal, admiring diction to show her respect and closeness to Reagan, and her agreement with his policies. An example of this informal diction is when she calls Reagan, “Ronnie”. This casual use of his popular nickname shows the American audience that she viewed Reagan like they did, like a friend. With her informal diction, she places herself among the people and reveals that she knew Reagan on a personal level, thus gaining the people’s trust and good will. By describing Reagan with admiring, complimentary words like “cheerful” and “invigorating”, she builds up his positive characteristics. Thatcher’s diction convinces her audience of her sincerity, and raises Reagan’s bright character in the minds of the audience....

...In Abraham Lincoln's speech, "The Gettysburg Address", the utilization of alliteration, repetion, and parallelism is examplified. Abraham Lincoln utilizes these rhetorical devices in order to honor the lives that were lost during the great battle of the Civil War and the importance of maintaining a nation that was conceived in liberty and equality. In the address, Abraham Lincoln exercises alliteration. By using alliteration he is able to obtain the audience's attention. Abraham Lincoln said, "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." By Abraham Lincoln repeating the use of the letter 'f' and the sound,...
