Daylight Saving

In “Daylight Saving,” Benjamin Franklin uses parallelism to grab readers’ attention, create humor, and make his points clear. Parallelism is the deliberate repetition of sentence structures. For example, in one paragraph, Franklin repeats “I looked” three times: “I looked at my watch. . . I looked into the almanac. . . I looked forward. . . . ” Think of a cause that you believe in, such as recycling or volunteering at a local animal shelter. Write five sentences in support of this cause, using parallelism.
