What theme is found in both escape and to live

distractions can make it difficult to know yourself.

Explanation:

This statement is the theme of both:

Life's distractions can make it difficult to know yourself.

Explanation:

Both "Escape" and "To Live" try to find reasons for the condition of life as it is and as the author has found it to be for themselves too.

They are both trying to assert the fact that the distractions one puts up for their lives make it so difficult for the person to be in tune with who they are actually.

This is the process of building a wall against oneself because we are not comfortable looking into us and finding something that is not conferrable.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.
