This is what is known as a illustrative essay. Illustrative essays are used to explain, illustrate, a topic to your audience. Examples (the illustrative part) are used to help your audience “see” your argument. The examples which you use however, must be absolutely relevant to your topic. What is very important is that the examples, illustrations, you choose help your readers understand your argument.

To help you with this, please refer to chapter 13, “Illustration”, pp 339-71 in “Models for Writers”.
