Asked by Me
Would an example of parallelism in "Beloved" be the mention of the "chokecherry tree" on her back, since it's mentioned a couple of times? Or would parallelism be more like the dog leaving and not coming back to the house twice because of the ghost? (I'm sorry; I struggle with this parallelism thing)

Did you read the examples in the linked article that Ms Sue gave you yesterday?

Also there's this: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/parallelism.htm
Parallelism is in the phrasing, not in the repeated actions in a story or poem or speech, etc.
Parallelism is in immediate phrasing, not scattered throughout the work.

Could it be paralleled to a real-life event?

It is NOT in actions or events. It's in the wording.
