Your writing will be clearer if the ideas within each sentence are written in a similar
way. This is called parallel, or similar form. For example, all verbs should be in the
same tense and form. To have parallel structure, use matching nouns, verbs, adjectives,
and adverbs when you write a list.
Tip: Be sure you don’t combine different parts of speech in a series. Check that you
have used all nouns, all verbs, all adjectives, or all adverbs.

In her TED talk “The Danger of a Single Story,” Adichie argues that a single story usually provides only
one part of a story: just one negative or positive side of a person, yet this becomes their label or their
definition. (MjSS) An example of this kind of stereotyping is the example of Adichie of Modupe Akinola,
a female African-American professor. (MnSS) When she began teaching at Columbia Business School,
students often asked her when the professor would arrive because she did not fit the stereotype of what a
professor should look like in the U.S. (Akinola). (SS2) People tend to make assumptions about the single
story they hold of a particular group. (SS3) Due to a lack of exposure, Akinola’s students were probably
expecting to see an old white male or possibly a white female professor instead of a young African-
American female professor. Also, because of the angry black female stereotype (Eberhardt), during
lectures, this may lead students to read Akinola's facial expressions in an incorrect way which may cause
confusion. (CS) Thus, stereotypes are "incomplete" and can lead to prejudice as Adichie points out in her
TED talk.
