Parallelism: Two ideas or themes that are developed with the same related words, structure, or have similar components to them.
For example, an author who writes using the same type of sentence length, and grammar uses parallel structure.
I remember what it is because I think about what parallel lines are. Both lines travel in the same path, or direction mirroring each other.
Parallelism and parallel structure are important because when an author makes comparisons between things it is key to use the same structure while contrasting the different ideas.
Example: She wanted to know what his favorite food was and what sports he liked.
