Some of the strongest of these are
drawn from the real world. Make
sure you have correct facts,
though. A good one of these should
support your point in a way that
seems natural.
Example:
"It being my purpose to write the
lives of Alexander the king, and of
Cesar, by whom Pompey was
destroyed, the multitude of their
great actions affords so large a
field that I were to blame When
once Alexander had given way to
fears of super natural influence, his
mind grew so disturbed and so
easily alarmed
, But a diseased habit of body,
caused by drugs which Olympias
gave him, had ruined not only his
health, but his understanding." The
excerpt is about an exemplum of
the legendary Alexander the Great.
The moral point of this narrative is
that an individual can change a
person's, as well as a whole
nation's, destiny. Plutarch shows
how, in history, characters like
Alexander the Great have shaped
the destinies of states and
individuals.
