Four sentences in this excerpt in which Marcy uses parallel structure are:

"I think I will make a good president because I am honest, trustworthy, and I'm behaving responsibly"

"I will set a good example for the school."

"I will take your suggestions into consideration and try to implement as many as possible."

"I will convince the school board to install vending machines with healthier snacks in the school cafeteria and ensuring that they review the cafeteria lunch menu to include healthier meal options."

A parallel structure is when you write a sentence using the same exact pattern of words to make the audience aware that you mean what you are saying. For instance, in Martin Luther King's speech "I Have A Dream," he uses parallel structure in it to show that he's done with racial segregation that was occurring around that time:

"Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."

As you see here, Martin Luther King Jr. was using parallel structure here, and so was Marcy during her campaign speech. Hopefully, this helps.

Answer from: Quest

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained. they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.

there you go thats what we are missing
