The Technical Stuff:
Parallelism is recurrent syntactical similarity. Several parts of a sentence or several sentences are expressed similarly to show that the ideas in the parts or sentences are equal in importance.
"Our transportation crisis will be solved by a bigger plane or a wider road,
mental illness with a pill,
poverty with a law,
slums with a bulldozer,
urban conflict with a gas,
racism with a goodwill gesture."
(Philip Slater, The Pursuit of Loneliness)
