The document discusses emphasis in paragraph composition, noting that the important ideas should stand out. It identifies three devices used to achieve emphasis: emphasis by proportion, where subordinate ideas receive less substance and important ideas receive more; emphasis by pause, using chapter divisions, paragraph breaks, and punctuation; and emphasis by position, where emphasis is usually placed at the beginning and end of paragraphs, which are considered crucial points.
