Is this an example of parallelism “I wasn't endeavoring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner” ?

Parallelism is the use of components in a sentence that are grammatically the same; or similar in their construction, sound, meaning, or meter. Parallelism examples are found in literary works as well as in ordinary conversations.This method adds balance and rhythm to sentences, giving ideas a smoother flow and thus persuasiveness, because of the repetition it employs. For example, “Alice ran into the room, into the garden, and into our hearts.”

therefore meaning yes it is an example.

hope this helps.
