Parallelism


















figure of balance identified by a similarity in the syntactical structure of successive words, phrases, or clauses with the same or very similar syntactical structure to show that the idea are equal in importance

example in image:

Perch are inexpensive; cod are cheap; trout are abundant; but salmon are best.

most famous example:

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

-John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address

-Tianna Diaz
