Parallelism

"After a while we came out of the mountains, and there were trees along both sides of the road, and a stream and ripe fields of grain, and the road went on, very white and straight ahead, and then lifted to a little rise, and off on the left was a hill with an old castle..." (page 99). Hemmingway uses a lot of parallelism when he describes the scenery. The word 'and' is repeated within the sentence to link the different clauses together. The scenery is continuous and it is flowing, just like the sentence structure. The words are changing but the sentence flows. The scenery changes but it does not stop so the sentences are not short and choppy. Because the characters are riding in a car, the scenery changes faster than it would if the characters were just walking. I enjoyed the different scenery described in the book because I have never been to France or Spain.
