Question

Read the following excerpt from Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech: "Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed." Which words or phrases in this passage illustrate parallelism/repetition? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Go back to

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. It uses words, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar or identical in structure, sound, meaning, or meter. In the excerpt, the phrases that illustrate parallelism/repetition is “Go back to” because it is repeated through the line several times. This repetition aims to show that going back to each of those places is equally important and it gives a natural flow to the reading.
