Reading Response Ch. 7

Reading Chapter 7 gave me a clear understanding of why it is necessary to properly exemplify and essay.  To exemplify is to illustrate a general idea or opinion, supporting the concept through proper data, research and observation or personal experience.  This is key to maintaining the readers interest.

The detail that supports an example is of importance when involving  a reader. There are certain hypothetical examples so using  proper descriptive illustrations helps the reader differentiate between real or made up facts and identify closer with the essay.

Examples must be supported by proper evidence and detail in order to approach specific readers that relate to the subject.

When using proper exemplification, there are several steps that are taken in order to space different ideas correctly and organize detail accordingly.  If the writer is trying to give his point of view through persuasive writing and is trying to convince the reader, the details would be placed in a progressive order. Trying to illustrate ideas that occurred in the past and are still part of the present would be arranged  in a chronological order, in order to space time properly. Spatial order can be used when trying to describe a place or certain area, like a room or a large swimming pool.

 After analyzing the importance of a illustrated essay, I look back at different books and have found that all the examples used are why I kept reading and encaptivated by the subject.  In other words, they kept me from being bored.
