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:

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

Answer:

<em>Saturday, June 18th 2022</em>

As I was taking my daily walk through the park, I saw a baby bird stumbling as it tried to get up and fly. I assumed that it had fallen out of his nest in the tree above. It looked so pitiful as it tried to fly again. It broke my heart. As I picked the baby bird up to examine why he couldn't fly, there I saw it. He had broken his wing. Carefully I took him home and showed my mother the bird, and she helped me patch up its wing. Tomorrow my mother and I will be taking him to the vet to make sure he gets the proper care he needs and is fully out of danger. We named him Bob.
