Parallel structure is an important function in writing because it can show a different idea to the story, it's different from pov (point of view). all it really does is add a new idea into the story. parallel structure can give your writing a negative impact  on your writing if you are to add too much detail or not enough detail. also it can negatively affect it by if you were to add information that wasn't in your writing the first time. the last one it can affect you is by making look as if it was another point of view.

Using the parallel structure makes the paragraph look more organized in a serie of ideas that not get interposed between each other. The point of view is the same but it introduces new ideas to have more arguments to arrive to your conclusion. It just makes it more clear.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
