How does quindlen connect overcoming the "splintering" with the tragic events of 9/11 ?

Which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt?

Read these sentences from thr excerpt. what the most dreaded, that i most desired. what he most loved, i most hated. that which to him was a great evil, to be carefully shunned, was to me a great good, to be diligently sought; and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn. which statement best explains why the author uses parallel structure to advance his purpose?
