Parallel structure is using the same grammatical structure for elements in a list. This helps with the flow of the sentence and ideas, as well as aids the reader in seeing how the items are similar or different. In this case, the items in both lists are written as adjectives. This allows the reader to see the similarities among the that are grouped together and how the contrast to each other across the conjunction "but". The phrase "two hundred and fifty years" is not part of parallel structure in this sentence.
There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.
One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.
Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.
Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.

In "The Lottery," one of the main ideas presented is the fact that all humans are ultimately on their own, and are responsible only for themselves. The story shows how solidarity is inexistent in this town, as no one is willing to defend those who are chosen in the lottery. This is likely a critique of the period of the two World Wars. During this time period, individualism became more prominent, and solidarity became less common.
The story is also a critique of mob mentality and the value of tradition. Despite the fact that the lottery is an outdated, damaging tradition, people feel forced to carry it out due to social expectations. Social pressure had also been prominent in past years, particularly during the Holocaust, where many common people committed horrible acts of cruelty due to tradition and social expectations.
