Exemplification

            Chapter 7 proved to me that organizing details in an exemplification essay is actually very important, even if it is just a small aspect of writing an essay. From this I learned that there are multiple orders of organization, progressive order, chronological order, and spatial order. I was also interested in examining visuals, which was exemplification in a cartoon. This proved to me that exemplification and generalization can be formed anywhere, not just in essays, such as in a cartoon.

            Throughout this chapter, I believe that students are supposed to learn and understand exemplification, and how to clarify, support, or explain a generalization they might make. By supporting generalizations writers will be able to better inform and persuade their readers. Also, this chapter aims to show how exemplification can be used in many ways, and not just forms of writing, like an essay. Finally, details and visualization are key concepts to help explain exemplification, and students need to know what kinds of details and visuals to use, when to use them, and how to organize them. By providing many examples, this chapter helps paint an image in a student’s mind of what exemplification looks like, so they can better understand how to use it.
