3) By using hyperbole, Cullen reinforces the importance of this moment and its impact on the speaker.

The final lines of the poem "Incident" state:

I saw the whole of Baltimore

From May until December;

Of all the things that happened there

That's all that I remember.

In this stanza, the author is using hyperbole in order to highlight the impact of the event in his memory. He states that although he saw many things during those months ("all of Baltimore"), the only thing he can remember is the moment that person used a racial slur. This shows what a deep impact the event had on him.

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.
