SECTION:_____________________________ SCORE:_______________

Today, we will learn about Parallelism.

Parallelism, also known parallel structures, can add fluidity and power to your writing. This involves
presenting your thoughts in an orderly manner so that your reader can easily follow your thoughts. It uses
the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance. This can
happen at the word and phrase level.
Use parallelism in single words and phrases, such as:
1. Verb or Verb Phrases –
(e.g. My sister walks and runs in the Plaza.)
(Romeo cooked the foods, washed the plates and watered the plants.)
2. Adjective - (e.g. Mark is an industrious and helpful boy.)
3. Adverb or Adverbial Phrases –
(e.g. Rose dances gracefully and happily.)
(The groups meets at night and on weekends.)
4. Gerund or Gerund Phrases (-ing form of the verb)
(e.g. Maria loves dancing, swimming and singing.)
(Joshua enjoys playing volleyball, singing love songs and baking cakes.)
5. Infinitive or Infinitive Phrases
(e.g. Jason likes to read and to write.)
(Dave loves to watch TV, to listen radio and to play computer games.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so
conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met here on a great battle field of that war.
We are now have come to dedicate a portion of it as the a final resting place of for those who
here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should
do this.

But in a larger sense we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract.

The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they
did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they
have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the that cause
for which they here gave gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that
this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

1. There are two major religions in the world. One is Christianity which was founded by
Jesus. Its followers, called Christians, often believe in Christ as “the Son” who walked the earth.
The other is called Islam, which consists of individuals who believe in Allah, a god whose
teachings were recorded, verbatim, by god’s last prophet, Muhammad.

2. Although, both Christianity and Islam are classified as Abrahamic religions, they are different
in a lot of ways. Each faith has more than a billion followers. Christians believe on an all-
powerful God known as God. They believe in Trinity, the oneness of God the Father, Christ the
Son, and the Holy Spirit (or Ghost). Whereas, the Muslims believe only in Allah who is seen as
being all-powerful. Christians regard the Bible, the inspired word of God as useful for teaching
and reproving. The Muslims, however, believe that the Bible has been corrupted over the
centuries and is only correct in so far as it agrees with the Koran, the holy book that is respected
as the word of the prophets.

3. Among the Christians, the Holy Spirit refers to the third person of the Trinity, which is fully
divine in nature. For the Muslims, on the other hand, this person refers to the archangel Gabriel
who delivered the words of the Koran to Muhammad. The belief on the Holy Spirit in both
religions, thus, differ greatly.
