Using examples and quotations in an essay: how not to overdo it?

Using examples and quotes in an essay: how not to overdo it? Sometimes, when we try to make our work more persuasive, we can get carried away and add too many examples or quotes, which can distract from the main idea. I have personally experienced this problem and would like to know how you approach this issue. How many examples do you think are enough to support your point, and how do you find a balance between your thoughts and what others are saying?

Forcing the use of examples and quotes for support is a great strategy, but it must be effective. Decide on the main thesis of your essay; each example should illustrate it, not become an end in itself. I recommend following the rule of thumb. Specific examples for each of the key arguments - one or two, depending on the situation. This will help you avoid instances of information overload. Second, they should fit into the context of the topic, ensuring that the examples used are correct.

I also believe that it is important to know the measure when it comes to examples and quotations. Personally, I prefer to use examples that are close to my heart, so that they not only support my point of view, but also make the text more lively and memorable. I do not always use a lot of quotes, as I often try to express my thoughts in my own words. Sometimes one or two well-chosen examples are enough to emphasize a thought.
