Essays often combine both brief and extended
examples.

Brief - examples that appear rather frequently

concrete examples of straightforward ideas.

Extended - examples that contain more detail. Such


detail is needed because extended examples
function as concrete illustrations of ideas that are
too complex to be made clear by a brief example.
