Explanation:
Repetition and parallel structure are both stylistic devices used to develop the story following the mood provided by the author to describe his or her ideas in their ultimate level. Now, Repetition is the stylistic device that establishes an order of equal importance to all the clauses provided by starting them with the same word or statement. A parallel structure is a stylistic device that uses the same pattern of words to provide the same level of importance to them. In our case, we can observe the pattern that establishes the relationships and the repeated words.
