Exemplification Essay

Write a 500-750 word essay using exemplification as a method of development. Include a title page and outline with your essay.

Writing Approach

Determine exactly what point you are going to make and write it down in precise terms. Think about why you want to make this point. Develop a thesis statement (pages 47-49 in The St. Martin's Handbook). Then choose examples and details that count for something, those that move the reader toward some goal.

Choose the best examples that honestly reflect the group or class they represent. Do not pick examples that do not support your thesis. Also, make sure that your examples display all the chief features of whatever you are illustrating.

Do not give your examples and their details in a haphazard manner; give some real thought to arranging them in the best possible order. You may use order of familiarity, climax, importance, or some other order.

If an essay develops a single example, try to have at least three important things to say about it--three areas of discussion.

Temple Grandin's "Seeing in Beautiful, Precise Pictures"

Because I have autism, I live by concrete rules instead of abstract beliefs. And because I have autism, I think in pictures and sounds.

Hereâs how my brain works: Itâs like the search engine Google for images. If you say the word âloveâ to me, Iâll surf the Internet inside my brain. Then, a series of images pops into my head. What Iâll see is a picture of a mother horse with a foal. Or I think of âHerbie the Love Bug,â scenes from the movie Love Story, or the Beatles song, âLove, love, all you need is loveâ¦â

When I was a child, my parents taught me the difference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. My mother told me that you donât hit other kids because you would not like it if they hit you. That makes sense. But, if my mother told me to be âniceâ to someone, it was too vague for me to comprehend. But if she said that being nice meant delivering daffodils to a next door neighbor, that I could understand.

I believe that doing practical things can make the world a better place. When I was in my twenties I thought a lot about the meaning of life. At the time, I was getting started in my career of designing more humane facilities for animals at ranches and slaughterhouses. Many people would think that to even work at a slaughterhouse would be inhumane, but they forget that every human and animal eventually dies. In my mind, I had a picture of a way to make that dying as peaceful as possible.

Back in the 1970s, I went to fifty different feedlots and ranches in Arizona and Texas and helped them work cattle. I cataloged the parts of each facility that worked effectively. I took the best loading ramps, sorting pens, single-file chutes, crowd pens, and other components and assembled them into an ideal new system. I get great satisfaction when a rancher tells me that my corral design helps cattle move through it quietly and easily. When cattle stay calm, it means they are not scared. And that makes me feel Iâve accomplished something important.

Some people might think if I could snap my fingers Iâd choose to be ânormal.â But, I wouldnât want to give up my ability to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.

Temple Grandin is an associate professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She has designed one-third of all livestock handling facilities in the United States with the goal of decreasing the fear and pain animals experience in the slaughter process.
