Explanation

Just as we all use narratives to tell stories about who we are and what we are doing, we routinely use examples in conversation to make ideas clear to others. In both your academic and professional life you will be expected to provide such examples in writing to clarify and support your respective points of view. As we saw in the last module, given the complexity of language and its connection to the world (by its nature our words are never an exact replication of the universe we inhabit), every time we communicate we are establishing a perspective that we are asking others to believe. In writing, examples illustrate general observations and thesis statements in a more interesting, persuasive way. Good writers use many examples that relate to a reader’s experiences, hoping to convince them that the points they are making are believable.

Examples can be used throughout the essay: in the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. They are usually most prominently discussed in the body paragraphs which make up the majority of a paper. Examples are used in all essays to help support general statements. Examples describe or illustrate major points. Examples may be facts, descriptions, or narratives (events). Examples should be specific and relevant to the general statement that they illustrate.
