\How does it help in writing in anyway?

Does it have mathematical meaning? || NOTES: The definition for the parallel structure, is for the writers to describe ideas related to one another, in the same ways. Readers read more fluently when they can anticipate what will come next in a sentence or passage. Parallel structure fulfills what good readers anticipate, much as a well-developed paragraph fulfills the anticipation set up in the topic sentence. More specifically, a good writer uses a thesis statement or topic sentence to tell the reader what to expect next and then fulfills that commitment to the reader. Parallel structure helps in a similar way. When a writer presents a series of ideas, readers expect them to be stated in the same way. When they are not, the reader experiences a mild "cognitive dissonance" that hinders fluent reading. The explanation for this topic is that, for the parallel structure it gets the readers to anticipate what going to happen. The way they do that is to have a thesis statement or topic sentence to show or tell the reader what will happen or expect from happing, then the author or writer puts down a couple of ideas, the reader expects whats going to happen and BOMB!! Something unexpected happens. || Parallel structure is a short way of saying that you write a sentence write clearly and understandingly. For example, I got to go, write it clearly and it will be written like  I have to go to the restroom, see clearly. ||
