PARALLELISM

#Our beagle loves to hunt.As soon as someone opens the back door for her , she barrels down porch steps into the yard , and runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy. Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cats , rabbit smells , and other presences too subtle for human detection. She sniffs and spins her tail in quick circles.In turn it spins clockwise and counterclockwise. These two activities ,sniffing and spinning, always occur together  and seem to propel her along.

#The Goverment Printing Office in Washington D.C,about which few people know, is both  a source of much useful information and  the official publishing house for the federal government. The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subjects ranging from the dangers of X - rays from home tv sets to the identification of mushrooms. About 27.000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents .Because many of them is inexpensive,there is no charge at all for some.

#The man reaped America's first fortune was John Jacob Astor.He was a German immigrant who made  his inital money  trading Indian furs. He was lowborn and uneducated  so he never learned to speak English properly. He carried on his business to the end in an accent which was redolent of the Hamburg gutters.
