(Informative/Explanatory/Analytical ): In chapter six, we are introduced to Hester’s daughter, Pearl. “But she named the infant “Pearl,” as being of great price,--purchased with all she had…” (81). Using this quote and the chapter, write three cohesive paragraphs addressing the following: The significance of Pearl’s name and what “price” Hester paid for her; What sin Hester committed, and the consequences and punishment of that sin; The similarities and symbolism between Pearl and the scarlet letter Hester wears.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

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

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have 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 all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

ethos, logos, and pathos.
