"Johnny was the only person I have ever met, who, truly never thought of himself first, or, for that matter, at all; his considerateness was so extreme as to be a fault."-Death be not Proud, John Gunther
In this sentence, the author uses repetition to show the reader the extent of Johnny's selflessness. The author was showing that not only did Johnny never think of himself first, but that he did so so often it was probably not a good thing. Perhaps he let people walk over him.
"John is the only guy I know that has climbed Mount Everest in a week, and, for that matter ever; his talent and speed are admired by many."-Meagan Poff
