Exemplification

Hi Dr Rivera and my classmates! I hope everyone had a great weekend! This is my second blog for this week.

Last Tuesday, we met at the moodle room and discussed about the importance of exemplification, and our thoughts on Yegavian’s essay. Exemplification means using examples to explain, convince, or amuse. Lending interest and information to writing, exemplification is one of the most common and effective ways of developing ideas. We also need to know the characteristics of good examples. As supporting information, the best examples are specific, vivid, and representative, and the techniques for finding example are listing and clustering. In Yegavian’s essay, the author has traveled to many countries and encountered many cultures. Living in Southern California, he is constantly reminded that he lives in a global community. He uses a lot of specific, persuasive examples to hook the readers. As we can see, exemplification absolutely is one of the most common and effective ways of developing ideas.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and see you all online next week.

Best regards,
Hai, Zhan(Odin)
