Day 2 Sentence

"What she needs is someone to be with her as she goes down, to listen to her while she shares her feelings, and to empathize with what she is going through."-Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, John Gray

In this sentence, the author uses prepositional phrases in parallel structure to let the man he is speaking to know just what to do for his wife. He must be with her, listen to her, and empathize with her. The author makes this very clear with the use of parallel structure.

"On my way to my brother's dorm, I walked over the bridge, through the tunnel, and over the hill."-Meagan Poff
