When I was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, I'd listen toward the hall: Daddy upstairs

was shaving, in the bathroom, and Mother downstairs was frying the bacon. They would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. My father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backI drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "The Merry Widow." The difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the Victrola were only slowly being wound up. They kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where I was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. What is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? It establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. It expresses the same ideas. It mirrors opposite ideas. It is a paradox.

Answer:

It establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song.

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to the use of the same grammatical structures in a series of sentences. Most of the time, parallelism is used in order to provide a sense of rhythm to the text. In this case, parallelism provides a sense of rhythm that is meant to echo the song, as it reminds the reader of a duet. As the song is also meant to be a duet (father and mother) the structure of the text highlights the subject matter.

Give me a topic sentence of Brown Girl Dreaming.
forsale [732]

Answer:

Jacqueline Woodson tells her memoir “Brown Girl Dreaming” from the first-person, limited-omniscient, present-tense point of view of herself as a child. She does this for several reasons. First and foremost, the memoir being told is Jacqueline’s, and there is no better person to tell her childhood story than herself. Second, this allows Jacqueline to communicate intimate thoughts, ideas, and feelings with the reader directly, allowing them to see and feel things as she did. It also allows readers a sort of intimacy as if the story was being told by one friend to another. The limited-omniscient aspect lends itself to Jacqueline telling the story as her child-self in present-tense, and not knowing everything going on in the world around her, but having vague ideas or inclinations about events and circumstances beyond her control.
