Illustrating by Use of Example

For extra ideas about "Illustrating Ideas by Use of Example," see the chapter of the same name in Patterns of Exposition by Randall E. Decker and Robert A. Schwegler, Harper-Collins, 1995. It demonstrates how to use an example to illustrate a larger theme and provides essays/excerpts as models.
