"I am Sam, Sam I am."(Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham) • “From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere” and “Some are thin. And some are fat. The fat one has a yellow hat.” (Dr. Seuss, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish) • The party exceeded her craziest expectations, and her craziest expectations were crazy indeed. • If you’re early, you’re on time, if you’re on time, you’re late, if you’re late, you’re in trouble. • “If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary step” (George Orwell, “Politics and the English Language”) • I hope I get an “A”. “A”s are difficult to achieve, but after hours of reading children’s books, I deserve it. • “The love of wicked men converts to fear;That fear to hate, and hate turns one or bothTo worthy danger and deserved death.” (William Shakespeare, “Richard II”) • Success leads to happiness, and happiness leads to success.
The entire book “When you Give a Mouse a Cookie” by Laura Joffe Numeroff is an extended anadiplosis.
Way to Remember both the “a” and “s” in anadiplosis repeat just like the clauses
