patrick henry's speech in the virginia convention

Parallelism is the repeated use of the same words or pattern to begin or end a series. Ex. "Give me liberty or give me death!"

Look at the sentence that begins or includes "we have remonstrated, we have supplicated." That entire sentence is a good example of parallelism.

okay, i can use that one. we need to four examples of it though. any other ones someone can offer?

Hi,

Here are some more.

those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not,

We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, (I think you were already given this one)

Our petitions have been slighted; our remons

he uses parallelism when he says, "We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated..." we had to find it as an assignment for our AP English class. i hope this helps.

you guys are great!!! thanks!!:)

an example parallelism in the speech the virginia convention are when patrick henry says "we have" over and over again. Im not exactly sure in which paragraph the sentences are but I know that that is parallelism because my english teacher went over that in class.

I think there's parallelism in Paragraph 4: "They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other." However I think it's more of a repitition of an independent clause. Basically emphasizes that henry knows about the British military movements/preparations.
And again in Paragraph 6: "We have petitioned;...from the foot of the throne" From the beginning of that sentence to the very end. I'

you had AP english as well?....i have that class right now. and we have to create these questions as a class, the type you'd see in the AP exam for the teachers third block to answer....we have to use all the rhetorical strategis and parrallism and all that meaty stuff you'd find questions too in the written work....

can u give me an example of parallelism paragraph?
