*Chiastic structure is a literary structure to highlight concepts or ideas. A chiastic structure is a special symmetric order or pattern to emphasize the middle-referenced point and connected themes.
For example, suppose that the first topic in a text is labeled by A, the second topic is labeled by B and the third topic is labeled by C. If the topics in the text appear in the order ABCDCBA so that the first concept that comes up is also the last, the second is the second to last, and so on, the text is said to have a chiastic structure emphasizing the “D” as the focal idea or concept.
