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).

Discussion Topic Discuss what seems to be the most challenging part of the final, trying-to-get-published" process. Is it writin
blondinia [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The letter and presentation is the most challenging part of the publishing process, because that letter needs to convince the editorial team that the work you wrote has potential. This is because it is in the cover letter that the writer must show the summary of the story, the story as a writer and the relevance of the work in the current market, in relation to the target audience, sales and other elements that are not included in the synopsis.

Obviously, the work can be rejected by the publisher and although this is something sad and discouraging for the writer, there are ways to overcome this moment. Many writers indicate that new writers use rejection to improve their written history, keeping in mind that this is not the right time for publication, thinking positively and believing that the publication will arrive at the right time.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Everyone has their own beliefs and prefrences, and you shouldn't force getting a vaccine on those who don't think they should. Respect others feelings, maybe you think that you should get the vaccine, and that it's good for you, but other people may not feel the same way, you should be careful about hurting people's feelings or making them angry, but you do whatever floats your boat :)
