In the short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe, an unnamed narrator arrives to the house of Roderick Usher.

The narrator has come to seek the help of Mr. Usher because the narrator's sister Madeline suffers from a terrible illness. But she is actually Catatonic, a condition where a person seems to be dead, but is not. In the past even doctors were confused but the condition and declared a lot of people dead without being really dead, but catatonic.

Parallelism is when there is grammar equilibrium in two or more sentences, we can see such a case if we rewrite this sentence that has no correct parallel structure, for example:

I am talented at writing, doing sports, and playing music.

The effect of parallelism in this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe is that:

It emphasizes Usher’s psychological fixation.

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.

the answer is a.
