Parallelism is a very powerful use of writing in English Language. It shows contrast in the sentences and comparison between to subjects. It is usually used in speeches or articles that are discussing a major points or issue found in the nation. For example, Susan B. Anthony’s speech for the freedom and rights of women in America.

In the mid 1800s, Susan B. Anthony gave a speech regarding the rights of women, and different people in America. This speech was given after her arrest in 1872, for illegal voting in the federal election. Susan B. Anthony was a great inspiration to women, and many diverse groups of American people in the U.S. throughout her speech she shows multiple parallel sentences, that I will share and quote for you throughout the text.

The Fist quote is “It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.” (Susan B. Anthony, In 1800s) The sentence shows parallelism when she divides the subjects by the words “not we, or nor yet”. With this the sentence flows, as she compares and contrasts the people in the statement.

The other quote I have chosen is “To them this government is not a democracy. It is not a republic. It is an odious aristocracy; a hateful oligarchy of sex; the most hateful aristocracy ever established on the face of the globe; an oligarchy of wealth, where the rich govern the poor.” Here Parallelism is shown when she is comparing the kind of government

How Words Powerfully Affected My Life

Words powerfully affect my life because they can be positive and negative. People have found many ways to make words, atrocious, and unacceptable that used to be superior and gratifying. People use words as a defense, or just to be plain rude. Some words can be taken either way. Taylor Swift has a quote that is good for the subject, “Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you’ll regret more than…

Reflection On My Writing

I have never thought about whether or not my writing was good; I only worried about the grades my essays would receive.

It has come to my attention just how poor my writing is; there is an extensive use of passive sentences, punctuation mistakes, and the low vocabulary level. Throughout my whole school life, not a single teacher has clarified to me and my fellow classmates what passive tense is and how it can affect…
