A Level English Language help

Hi guys, got two questions I need some advice on for my coursework (An obituary) :smile:

Firstly, 'parallelism':

I've been analysing my own work and trying to work out which is key feature, which bit is parallelism?

The world has lost a huge musical talent. Two parents have lost their child. Hundreds of friends have lost their companion. Millions of fans have lost their star.

But the saddest part of all is that somewhere along the
line, well before her foreseeable death, Amy Winehouse lost herself.

Is it the repletion of the modifier 'lost' that is parallelism or is it the repetition of the clause 'has lost', 'have lost' etc?

Secondly, 'references':

I decided to use a quote from the mother of the person "Early fame has overwhelmed you", as my subheading, it is later used in a paragraph of spoken text in which is taken from a previous interview with the mother the article.

Is this an anaphoric or cataphoric reference, or neither?

Thanks so much!
