Chapter 7

Connie Lenart

 

          Chapter 7 is extremely important to help with writing. We use examples daily in our everyday lives. Examples help us to explain things and clarify what we are trying to say. The point we are trying to make to help our audience to understand what we are writing. We should be careful about over generalizing we must make sure the examples we are using are fact and not fiction. There are a number of times that we might use exemplification. We will defiantly use it in school, the workplace, and the community, sending a letter to friend or running for a political position. We must always remember how important it is to organize details when writing. We can also use pictures, cartoons, and, graphs to help explain things.

 

                        The essays in chapter 7 were somewhat interesting, however I really enjoy reading three of them. I liked reading the one on discrimination, the homeless, and “Reunion.” The other ones I found very boring and too much information in them. Too many names and facts I felt somewhat confused when reading them. They did not keep my attention. I felt as though I could relate to the other essays I mentioned above. The essays about discrimination and homelessness is something we witness pretty much on a daily basis. I find it very sad but true. The “Reunion” essay was my favorite I found it very funny I wish it would have been a little longer and maybe a different ending but overall it made me laugh.
