Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves

as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, law–makers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.

The line using the words tomorrow repetitively shows repetition, the line using the word "and" as the conjunction is polysyndeton, and the sentence about the best and the worst of the time is an example of asyndeton.

<h3>What are asyndeton and polysyndeton?</h3>

Asyndeton is the grammatical sentences that lack the use of the conjunction words and are omitted or absent deliberately. The conjunctions like the word nor, or, and, etc. are not included. Hence, "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times" is the asyndeton.

The polysyndeton is the deliberate inclusion of the conjunction words like nor, and, but, if, etc, in the sentence. The conjunction or the linking words are used repetitively in the same sentence. Hence, "I can't wait to see a show <em>and</em> a museum <em>and</em> the zoo <em>and</em> the parks" is an example of polysyndeton.

"We will look to <em>tomorrow</em>, and <em>tomorrow</em>, and <em>tomorrow</em>" is an example of repetition as the same word, "tomorrow" is used multiple times in the sentence. "He would walk through rain, snow, sleet, hail" is an example of parallelism.
