Parallelism is the use of the components in a sentence that are the same grammatically or similar in construction, sound or meaning. It is used as a literary device in may works. Examples are "James ran into the garden, into the room and into our hearts.", "Like father, like son.", and "Easy come, easy go." In the excerpt this is the parallelism used "There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails."
