A specific case referred to in passing to illustrate a point. A story, narrative, or anecdote developed at some length to illustrate a point. An example that describes an imaginary or fictitious situation. Brief stories that relate a general principle. The speaker creates a realistic scenario, relates it directly to her listeners, and gets them involved in the speech. Good idea to follow it with statistics or testimony.
