Please be aware that all of these are very, very broad topics. You will need to narrow the focus of your essay quite a bit in order to write such a short essay. These are just topics. You need to refine them in order to come up with a workable thesis. Also, you will need to site evidence to support your thesis and arrive at a reasonable conclusion.

Notes about exemplification:
Overall Purpose:
- To make an assertion and support it (back it up) with examples and explanations.
Specific Uses:
- To inform, educate and explain.
- To entertain.
- To argue.
- To clarify.
- To define.
- To compare or contrast.
- To show cause and effects.
How to do it:
- Figure out your purpose and audience – these two items always determine what you say and how you say it.
- Generate examples.
- Select the examples you’re going to use, because you cannot use everything.
- Organize your examples in a sensible manner.
- Begin writing.
Examples must be:
- Accurate.
- Relevant.
- Interesting.
- Specific and precise and concrete.
- Explained or interpreted.
- Cited if referring to an outside source.
- Supportive, not contradictory. They must support their respective topic sentences which, in turn, support the thesis statement
- Representative.
Types of examples:
- Personal experiences or observations.
- Anecdotes.
- Names of people, products, or places.
- References to authority (expert opinions or an authoritative document).
- Typical (an actual event that occurred but not to you or anyone you know).
- Hypothetical (realistic but invented). Can you imagine what it would be like to…
- Generalized (a combination of typical events). All of us at one point have…
- Extended (thoroughly developed with many details).
Types of organization patterns:
- Spatial.
- Chronological
- Emphatic.
- M-W-S (moderate then weakest then strongest)
Be aware of:
- What your audience knows and does not know.
- Jargon or specialized language.
- Transitions between ideas (within sentences, between sentences, and between paragraphs).
- Balance – generally speaking, all of your examples should carry equal weight.
- Outside sources, such as quotations, cannot simply be “dropped” onto your page. You absolutely must explain your examples or they become, essentially, useless.
Some things to think about:
- Each essay begins with a thesis and then proceeds to prove that thesis by using a series of examples that flow together in a logical pattern.
- The thesis must be explicitly stated and easily identified by the reader.
- The examples chosen may be serious or humorous, but they must be well organized, detailed, and descriptive.
- All examples must be explained.
- When using an outside sources, they must all be properly cited.
- The example may tell a story but the main purpose is not to tell a story. Instead, it is to explain and/or convince the reader of the proposition (thesis) introduced at the beginning of the essay.
- Clarity and organization are essential. This type of essay is extremely organized:
- Each example within a paragraph supports that paragraph’s topic sentence.
- Each topic sentence supports the overall thesis of the essay.
