Have you ever heard of the tricolon? In writing, this refers to the use of a three parallel constructions in a series as a way to enhance your writing�s impact.
Many have proven its three magic in writing. have you use a tricolon in any of your writing tasks? Maybe you don�t know what a tricolon means or does it really exist but there are instances where you could have encountered it in your writing too.
To make it clearer, tricolon is a kind of sentence where it is consists of three independent clauses. Therefore, a single sentence can have three equal parts that can always stand alone.
The beauty of writing tricolon is that, it can draw your attention towards this kind of sentence easily. Generally, it is powerful yet so easy to understand. However, it is very explanatory and anyone can get the idea of the sentence without any problems at all.
In writing, it is best to use your creative way of thinking on how you will enhance your tricolon more. But others only end up in messing their own writing.
You can only write a tricolon successfully if you will just stick to the main idea that you are trying to point out in your sentence. There are two types of tricolon, the ascending and descending tricolon. The difference between the two is of course, the length of each phrase in every break.
You will see this employed all the time in great speeches, comedic routines and advertising slogans � three things that rely heavily on the impact that words will have on their audience. And using a tricolon, despite its latent simplicity, is one of the most dependable techniques for achieving just that. Provided you use a writing checker to make sure your grammar and spelling don�t get in the way, of course.
Want to see tricolons in action? Take a look at these examples and determine the impact of a tricolon:
�I came; I saw; I conquered.� � Julius Caesar
��with malice toward none, with charity toward all, with firmness in the right�� � Abraham Lincoln, in the most famous expression of his second inaugural address
��life, liberty and the pursuit of happoness.� � The Declaration of Independence
�Instead of language we have jargon; instead of principles, slogans; and instead of genuine ideas, bright suggestions.� � Eric Bentley
�Can I get you anything? Cup of coffee? Doughnut? Toupee?� � a punchline from the Dick van Dyke show, said to a bald man
Threes are well-noted in almost all forms of culture. As such, it isn�t surprising that they work so well in writing too. As a general rule, you should use tricolons for lists whenever applicable, such as when detailing only the most important features of a movie for a reviews (�It was fast-paced, exciting and filled with action from start to finish�) or when describing an object with adjectives (�The plan was cold, calculated and precise�). Not only are they easy to read, the triumvirate creates a natural rhythm too.
