  1. Chiasmus By Emma Geary

  2. Definition • “Might be called "reverse parallelism," since the second part of a grammatical construction is balanced or paralleled by the first part, only in reverse order. Instead of an A,B structure (e.g., "learned unwillingly") paralleled by another A,B structure ("forgotten gladly"), the A,B will be followed by B,A ("gladly forgotten").” http://www.virtualsalt.com/rhetoric2.htm#Chiasmus

  3. More Examples • This morning, I went to school. I did my homework in the afternoon. • She is a diligent worker and studies a lot.
