Stephen Wilbers, a writing instructor at the University of Minnesota, has written three wonderful short essays on parallel structure:

1. "Using parallel construction honors contract with reader"
2. "Use parallel structure for emphasis, power"
3. "The beauty and utility of language are connected"

These columns help writers understand more than just how to correct faulty parallels in their writing: they show why parallel structure is useful, and how good parallel structure makes writing powerful and beautiful. Includes quizzes. Highly recommended. http://www.wilbers.com/part40.htm
