There are so many good and pretty things in life which can be gotten without stealing and love is a perfect example. Though, some nice things might be hard to find but certainly there are greater things we take for granted that can be gotten easily.

A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money

Answer:

Parallelism

Explanation:

The given excerpt is an example of parallelism.

Parallelism (also known as parallel structure or parallel construction) is a figure of speech in which phrases in a sentence are grammatically the same or similar in construction, sound, meaning, or meter. The purpose of parallelism is to give balance, clarity, pattern, or rhythm.

In the second sentence of the excerpt, we have several repetitions:

There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go. (there + past simple tense + negation)
... nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. (negation + infinitive)
... nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. (a part of the repetition I previously pointed out - nothing + infinitive).
