I can't find any examples to support my essay

<p>I can write introductions but I never find examples to support my essay! for example my teacher gave us 2 essay one about whether we listen to older people's advice or not and the other is whether we should trust our feelings or our brain while making decisions? I need examples; novels, short stories, anything!</p>

<p>historical and literary examples are best. use examples you’ve learned in history/read about in english (ie 1984, great gatsby, jane eyre, fahrenheit 451; wwI, invention of cotton gin, founding fathers… the list goes on)
make a list of 5-10 solid examples you can refer back to that can be molded to fit any prompt. </p>

<p>and if all else fails, just make up a compelling personal example! good luck!</p>
