Read this excerpt from the grapes of wrath: [i]t's our land. we measured it and broke it up. we were born on it, and we got killed on it, died on it. even if it's no good, it's still ours. that's what makes it ours—being born on it, working it, dying on it. which literary device does this passage most clearly show?

Parallelism

Explanation:

Parallelism is a chain of identical syntactic functions or a chain of sentences of equal syntactic values. Prayers that present themselves with the same external syntactic structure, by connecting with each other in a process in which it is not allowed to establish greater relevance of one over the other, create a process of liaison by coordination. As it happens in the text above.
