Emotion -- particularized human emotion -- comes through so strongly in Schubert’s lieder. It is the music of a composer and also a poet in his medium (music).
Emphasis is achieved by placing weight or stress on certain key points or sections in the essay and on the conclusion. The skillful writer can achieve this sometimes without being obvious.
emphasis is not always a matter of putting the key idea at the end

What is the point of inflicting a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence (plus a million dollar fine) on a seventy-six-year-old man with no prior criminal record?
What is the risk that I am going to spread the disease in the open air without being part of a group? --- I feel that it is very low.

Whitman though a native of the New York area loved it and wrote of it with the zeal and zest usually found only in those from elsewhere who have made New York their chosen home.

You can’t quantify what a student from one race or another may or not add to a school’s educational environment
You don’t desecrate grave memorials and plaques. We thought the Taliban idol smashers were bad. But then the comparison would be lost on the PC zealots.
You have to make a sincere effort to see the other person’s point of view
You must love all men equally respect and regard them equally and whatever happens to another whether good or bad must be the same as if it happened to you.
