What is an example of parallelism?

Parallelism is the use of similar grammatical structures in a sentence or series of sentences to create a parallel effect. Parallelism can be created by repeating words, phrases, or clauses with the same structure.

For example:

Parallelism with words:

"I came. I saw. I conquered."

Parallelism with phrases:

"She loves reading, writing, and listening to music."

Parallelism with clauses:

"It is important to eat healthy, to exercise regularly, and to get enough sleep."
