Answer: The deer hung stiff and heavy and empty, and small birds blew in the wind and the wind turned their feathers

Explanation:

Parallelism is a literary device that presents different parts of a sentence with grammatically similar construction, with the repetition of a word, a phrase, or even an entire sentence. Repetition makes the sentence symmetrical and consequently much more memorable for the reader.

The most famous example is Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech, where the repetition of that phrase makes the speech persuasive as well as rhythmic.

In this example, parallelism can be recognized in the repetition of the word "and":

and heavy

and empty

and small

and the wind
