syntax Simple, compound, complex? Choppy? Flowing? Antithesis? Chiasmus? Parallel structure?

Antithesis and chiasmus defined: Antithesis: contrasting ideas sharpened by the use of opposite meanings Ex) "Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing." Goethe "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." Martin Luther King, Jr. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Many are called, but few are chosen. Chiasmus: a reversal of grammatical structures in successive phrases or clauses He knowingly led and we followed blindly Swift as an arrow flying, fleeing like a hare afraid 'Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live.' Socrates (fifth century B.C.)

Parallel structure defined For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.—Psalm 37: 2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.—Psalm 73:2 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment.—Psalm 73:6
