A, What 's More, B
When the phrase “A, What’s More B, comes to mind one may quickly think of the word parallelism.” Parallelism is the joining together of related ideas to form a complete thought” (Fields, 2008). Additionally, parallelism relates to the written communication between the phrases of poetic lines which are found in certain books of the Bible. Many examples of parallelism are found in the books of Proverbs and Psalms. When one completes a parallelism it is then referred to as a line. Each of these lines must include at least two or more poetic phrases and or colons.

    Through the use of parallel events along with themes, such as the journey towards adulthood and the search for redemption, Khaled Hosseini portrays a guilty Amir in search of redeeming himself and paints a story of "friendship, fathers, sons, betrayal, tribute and redemption" ("Novels which explore the struggle for modern identity").

    Parallelism is rephrasing and repeating a word or phrase to emphasize the importance. An example of parallelism today is reduce, reuse, recycle. The concept of recycling sticks better and seems important because it is repeated. In the Declaration of Independence parallelism is used during the grievances against the King. As each grievance is stated it starts with “He” to emphasize the fact that the King is responsible for all the wrongdoings against the colonies.…

    Paul Fussell sonnet

    Paul Fussell begins the chapter by stating any poems two kinds of basic organization. The poem may either be stichic or strophic; in a stichic arrangement, line follows line without any formal or mathematical grouping of the lines into stanzas. In strophic organization, the lines are arranged in stanzas of varying degrees of logical complexity. A compromise between these two can be found in heroic couplets, which are best thought of as stichic, with a line of twenty, rather than ten syllables. Stichic arrangement is found usually in large, dramatic, and expansive narratives such as Paradise Lost. Strophic leans more closely towards brief moments of emotion and argument; strophic structure is associated with music in the fact that codas mirror refrains in poems, therefore leaning towards a more poetic style, rather than social commentary.…
