1 Writing with Concord: Parallel Structure
2 What is Parallelism? It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. -opening lines from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
3 What is Parallelism? Also referred to as parallel construction or parallel structure, this term comes from Greek roots meaning beside one another. Parallelism refers to the grammatical or rhetorical framing of words, phrases, sentences, or paragraphs to give structural similarity.
4 What is parallelism? Parallelism refers to the grammatical or rhetorical framing of words, phrases, sentences, or paragraphs to give structural similarity.
5 Parallel structure for related ideas Expressing related ideas in similar forms keeps writing on track. Like railroad tracks, these similar forms are said to be parallel. Parallel structure is the arrangement of corresponding parts of a sentence or group of sentences in similar grammatical forms.
6 Parallel structure for related ideas Some of the greatest speakers and writers have used parallel structure to make their thoughts memorable. Thomas Jefferson ended the Declaration of Independence with this memorable clause: [W]e mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Note the parallel grammatical forms our + noun The repetition of the key word our adds to the sense of order and purpose in the passage.
7 Parallel structure for related ideas Parallel structure can be used to connect single words, phrases, clauses, or even entire sentences. Here General Douglas MacArthur uses three strong nouns and three noun clauses in his farewell speech to the cadets at West Point. Duty, honor, country those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, and what you will be. nouns noun clauses
8 Parallel structure for related ideas Noun clauses A clause is a group of words that contains a verb and its subject and is used as part of a sentence. Subject Part of a Verb Sentence Duane finished Duane first, finished and Scott firstfinished last. A subordinate clause (or dependent clause) does not express a complete thought and cannot stand by itself as a sentence. Noun Clause We did not realize that Duane that Duane finished finished first first. A noun clause is a kind of subordinate clause that functions as a noun.
9 Parallel structure for related ideas Parallel structure is often seen in a series of three items. In his speech I Have a Dream, Martin Luther King, Jr., proclaims And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. King repeats the key clause let freedom ring three times, each instance followed by a Each phrase also contains parallel elements: prepositional phrase. from the + adjective + noun + of + name of state
10 Parallel structure Identify the grammatical forms or key words that are parallel in each of the following famous quotations. 1. [A]mong these rights are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. 2. [G]overnment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. 3. That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
11 Parallel structure Identify the grammatical forms or key words that are parallel in each of the following famous quotations. 1. [A]mong these rights are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. In this quotation from the Declaration of Independence, Life, Liberty, and pursuit are parallel because they are nouns. The final item is varied by adding a prepositional phrase, of Happiness.
12 Parallel structure Identify the grammatical forms or key words that are parallel in each of the following famous quotations. 2. [G]overnment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. In this quotation from Abraham Lincoln s Gettysburg Address, of the people, by the people, and for the people are parallel because they are prepositional phrases. The repetition of the key word people adds to the parallelism.
13 Parallel structure Identify the grammatical forms or key words that are parallel in each of the following famous quotations. 3. That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. In this quotation from astronaut Neil Armstrong, one small step for a man and one giant leap for mankind are parallel because both begin with the key word one followed by an adjective, a noun, and a prepositional phrase beginning with for.
14 Parallel structure for opposites Another technique of rhetoric is to express opposites in parallel structures. Abraham Lincoln used parallel structure to express opposites in his Gettysburg Address: with malice toward none, with charity for all with + contrasting nouns + preposition + contrasting pronouns
15 Parallel structure for opposites Here Winston Churchill expresses the contrast between two systems of government by using parallel structure. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. the inherent + contrasting nouns + of + noun the + contrasting adjectives + sharing of + contrasting nouns How does the use of parallel structure bring out the contrast that Churchill is making?
16 Parallel structure for opposites One special kind of parallel structure that orators use to relate opposites is called chiasmus. This technique gets its name from the Greek letter chi, which looks like an X. Φ Χ ΨΩ Like an X, chiasmus involves making two statements that cross, as in this sentence from John F. Kennedy s inaugural address: A B Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. B A
17 Parallel structure for opposites One of the most famous examples of chiasmus in American rhetoric comes from the same speech. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Notice the parallel structure that makes this contrast possible. Both halves of the sentence are parallel and contain noun clauses that are also parallel. ask + noun clause what + subject + can do + prepositional phrase starting with for
18 Parallel structure On Your Own The following sentences contain words that are not parallel in form. Revise each sentence to create parallel structure. 1. Jen completed the test quickly, but her work was incorrect. 2. Both nations agreed to stop fighting, and they are now pursuing peace. 3. If we act on our emotions, then our emotions will perform actions on us. 4. Optimists see the best in every situation, while pessimists are seeing what is worst. [End of Section]
19 Parallel structure Possible Answers The following sentences contain words that are not parallel in form. Revise each sentence to create Parallel structure. 1. Jen completed the test quickly but incorrectly. 2. Both nations agreed to stop fighting and to pursue peace. 3. If we act on our emotions, then our emotions will act on us. 4. Optimists see the best in every situation, while pessimists see the worst.
20 Review A Identify each group of parallel structures in this famous sentence from President Eisenhower s 1961 farewell address. To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing aspiration: We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its few spiritual blessings.

All + Nouns
