Exemplification

       When I first read this the first thing that stuck out was that people have to be careful with the number of examples they use in their writing.  This depends on ones thesis statement.  This surprised me that the number of examples are dependent on the thesis statement.  Also it is good to have a variety of examples throughout the writing depending on the topic.  Sometimes when I write I find that I love giving examples, but I always try to make sure the examples truly have relate to the topic being written about.  

       Professionally, some of the most important points I found while reading this chapter were the reasons to use examples.  The first is to explain or clarify the topic.  This requires one to really be specific when they are sharing the example. The second is to use examples to add interest.  The examples actually have to be interesting if you are trying to get others interested in a certain topic.  The third reason to use examples it to persuade somebody.  Examples can persuade if they are convincing and they well-chosen.
       Overall I think this chapter is a perfect explanation of how how to properly use examples in writing.  I think that examples help the reader to truly understand the points trying to be exemplified through writing.  Examples help illustrate your writing to become more vibrant, if they are used properly and written well.
