Chapter 8 Reading Response

This was an especially long chapter due to the huge amount of essays stuffed in there, but it was not an unbearable read. However, admittedly, I was less interested in the chapter as I was the previous. This chapter covered a lot of excellent points to be sure, especially when it explained how to correctly use commas in a sequence, but it's mere introduction made my eyes glaze out of focus. And the pages that followed didn't rescue me since much of what it covered I had already come to realize on my own, so, unfortunately, it's insightful tips were wasted on me. Its tips on how to properly structurize it, however,  were helpful as always. 

This chapter made me realize something obvious: I have been surrounded by exemplification essays all my life. Indeed it is the kind of format I am prone to since it makes the subject much more interesting and relatable. This chapter did not exempt anything therefore did not need any more elaboration. Personally, I could have used less elaboration since much of it seems to be second nature for me (or so this chapter made it seem, anyway).
