We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end as well as a beginning signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globate belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

EMPHASIZE BY COUPLING IDEAS.  Coupling ideas in balanced pairs is one way to show broad areas of meaning quickly.  Paired ideas reveal a variety of implications and meanings in close relationship.  Taken together, the many ideas in the Inaugural Address used above helped ot build toward the main idea in a compact, direct way.  The opening sentence  in the selection offers three coupled ideas. This coupling carries the occasion beyond the narrow scope of winning a party victory and lifts it to a higher plane in which the inauguration is a celebration of American freedom.
EMPHASIZE BY STATING RELATED IDEAS IN SIMILAR STRUCTURE.  If your main idea is too complex or abstract, you can often support it by stating several related ideas in order to clarify the meaning you intend. To say something several times in different ways can be helpful because the reader will more likely grasp the meaning of at least one of the restatements.
 

ASSIGNMENT.   Write a paragraph  in which you  achieve emphasis by coupling ideas and supporting your main idea by several different statements.
