What rhetorical device is james baldwin most clearly using in this passage

If you mend the passage "" ... in his outrageously demanding and protective way he loved his children, who were black like him and menaced, like him ... ", I believe the correct answer is parallelism.

In this passage, James Baldwin is using parallelism as rhetorical device by repeating the phrase "like him". Parallelism is the repetition of components in a sentence that are grammatically the same or similar in their construction, sound, meaning, or meter to add to the balance and rhythm to sentences, in order to give ideas smoother flow and persuasiveness.

Wrong its not paralism stupid
