the Man in Black” by Oliver Goldmith.)
I believe that this essay by Oliver Goldmith is an excellent display of exemplification. In this essay, the author talks of a man who is remorseful of his charitable actions. The man is an obvious philanthropist, but he is ashamed of it. Goldmith lays out the ways, and gives examples,
of how “he is the only man I ever knew who seemed ashamed of his natural benevolence.”
First Paragraph:
The man is a charitable man. He cares about others, gives to others, and shares with others, but he pretends to not care about the well-being of others. He is “ashamed of his natural benevolence.” While he pretends to have a disliking for mankind, he’s not very good at pretending to be. The author reveals that his poker face is not up to par. “… While his looks were softened into pity, I have heard him use the language of the most unbounded ill-nature.”
