Task F - Grammatical parallelism

Another aspect which we discussed in some detail in the poetry section of the course, and which is often important in prose too is parallelism, in particular grammatical parallelism.

Examine each passage for parallelism and work out how the parallelism relates to the meaning and effect of the passage. Then compare what you find with what we noticed.
