DefinitionClimax consists of arranging words,
clauses, or sentences in the order of increasing
importance, weight, or emphasis. Parallelism
usually forms a part of the arrangement, because
it offers a sense of continuity, order, and
movement-up the ladder of importance.

Examples1) The concerto was applauded at the
house of Baron von Schnooty, it was praised
highly at court, it was voted best concerto of
the year by the Academy, it was considered by
Mozart the highlight of his career, and it has
become known today as the best concerto in the
world. 2) At 620 a.m. the ground began to
heave. Windows rattled then they broke. Objects
started falling from shelves. Water heaters fell
from their pedestals, tearing out plumbing.
Outside, the road began to break up. Water mains
and gas lines were wrenched apart, causing
flooding and the danger of explosion. Office
buildings began cracking soon twenty, thirty,
forty stories of concrete were diving at the
helpless pedestrians panicking below. 3) To
have faults is not good, but faults are human.
Worse is to have them and not see them. Yet
beyond that is to have faults, to see them, and
to do nothing about them. But even that seems
mild compared to him who knows his faults, and
who parades them about and encourages them as
though they were virtues. Miss America was not
so much interested in serving herself as she was
eager to serve her family, her community, and her
nation.

Literary Examples1) But we glory also in
tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh
patience and patience trial and trial hope and
hope confoundeth not, because the charity of God
is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost,
who is given to us. St. Paul2) One equal temper
of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Tennyson, Ulysses3) In Cinderella, the climactic
moment of the plot occurs when Cinderella fits
her foot into the glass slipper, thereby
winning marriage with the Prince. In many
stories, there are several points in the plot
which are plausible crises.

Epanelepsis

• DEFINITION
• Epanelepsis repeats the beginning word of a
  clause or sentence at the end. The beginning and
  the end are the two positions of strongest
  emphasis in a sentence, so by having the same
  word in both places, you call special attention
  to it.
