Facts and examples validate your opinion
and make people sit up and listen. They are concrete proof.
Say, for instance, you are supporting gay marriage in your essay. Well, that may not be a big deal to the average reader, but if, Barack Obama or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie all support your cause, then people will listen to you.
These 2 are not the only way to go. You can have quotes, statistics like graph and diagrams, pictures, snippets of real life stories among other things
An example is a good way to get the audience's attention.
“Sometimes the biggest problem with examples is not that they are incorrect, but that they’re incomplete and unrepresentative. Look out for arguments where no examples are offered - just a thesis and a conclusion!” - http://learn.lexiconic.net/essayspers.htm
Facts or statistics are an unquestionable source that cannot be argued with. It's strong evidence that you are right! You can include pictures, graphs, anything that has to do with your statistics, but there is one catch; make sure it is a legitimate stat or fact!
Quotes- Including quotes or pictures from authoritive forces such as celebrities, politicians, or whoever is relevant to your topic. A picture says it all (check out our gallery of celebs with dogs at the top of our page)
For example, you are arguing dogs are better than cats and you show some celebrities with dogs, your viewer’s will think ‘Miranda Kerr likes dogs better than cats, so should I’ or ‘Even Chris Brown prefers dogs!’ it’s an easy way to convince someone quickly.
Continuing on the a picture says it all, always remember this when writing lengthy essays; a picture is worth a thousand words.
