Check Your Understanding Imagine you are editing a classmate's writing, and you notice these sentences:
• Annan states that the twentieth century contained some of the worst atrocities in human
history, including wars, pain and suffering, and other wrongdoings.
Despite these hardships, he believes that the United Nations should call on nations to
concentrate on the needs of all people, including men as well as women, rich and poor
people, and also people of all races and creeds.
In your own words, write an explanation so that your classmate understands the mistakes in
parallel structure and how to revise them. Begin an Editor's Checklist in your Reader/Writer
Notebook to help you remember to check for parallel structure when revising your writing.
