What is the effect of parallelism in this excerpt? the history of the decline and of the roman empire?

Parallelism is a grammatical structure that is used to emphazise an idea, repeat it and make it clear to the audience that it is important to remember. It reinforces memory and underlines the importance of certain information while not taking away from other parts of a text. In essence, paralel structure is a repetition of a grammatical form throughout a text which allows an audience to understand the significance of information and memorize it. In writing, as well as oral communication, paralellism is really important to make statements and ideas clear to the audience.

In the case of the excerpt, the author is transforming what could be a very flat and uninteresting piece of historical fact into almost a tale of the greatness of Rome and its empire throughout its peak and its fall. For example, the author says: "The frontiers of that extensive monarchy were guarded by ancient renown and disciplined valor." Aside from being parallelism because of the use of past tense, which makes it a similar structure but different ideas, the use of words like valor and discipline make the audience only think of the greatness of the Roman forces, even when they failed to achieve their goals of worldwide conquest. It also helps the audience to remember, even when the text needs to give the least desirable facts, that Rome was great through the good and the bad times and remained that way. This is the effect of paralellism.

because its important to learn about other countries and how high tech they are compared to us. also its good to learn about other cultures and how ours differs and in common also we need to learn about companies that we still buy since they ship it here.

congress seems to have some powers the states do not have. they can do some pretty big things, they can declare war. and they can lead armies and navies. they also have the power to create a mail delivery system, make foreign treaties, print and borrow money, (both states and congress can do that)and make rules for certain places, i think they said the western states.  

the new government has been a big to growing their country! they are getting new land over west. and they are passing laws which to settle boundary issues.  

although most of this information sounds good for them, bad for us, there are some weaknesses from their plan. the people are still having issues with taxes and trading goods, they also don't have a main leader such as a chief or a president. they also have trouble with currency. the states are printing out so much money the national currency is beginning to be worthless. so things are getting hard to handle over here.  

some of the americans like the new government and think that even if they could ask about changing it they would be ignored. daniel shays got a group of people who hated the new government and decided to attack. this could become either worse or better.

(one-paragraph analysis)  

i think that they may start a war or some sort of big attack to make them change their government. most americans just don't want to discuss it. but i think that daniel man will speak up for them. if they do scare them they will get a better government and be able to deal with their issues better! i think that is what is going to happen next in the u.s., sincerely
