Kin-tay often told Kizzy stories about himself. He said that he had been near his village in Africa, chopping wood to make a drum, when he had been set upon by four men, overwhelmed, and kidnapped into slavery. When Kizzy grew up and became a mother, she told her son these stories, and he in turn would tell his children. His granddaughter became my grandmother, and she pumped that saga into me as if it were plasma, until I knew by rote the story of the African, and the subsequent generational wending of our family through cotton and tobacco plantations into the Civil War and then freedom.

--Alex Haley

我们可以明显看到：作者在上一段里使用了两种写作方法，即按时间展开法与按原因和结果展开法。下面再看一个例子：

The Eastern religious movements [in the United States] are made up almost exclusively of white, educated, middle- and upper-middle-class young people. Most have at least begun college, although some have dropped out after one year or two. Men and women seem to participate in fairly equal numbers, but men control the leadership groups. There is no predominance of any particular regional background, although more of the devotees seem to come from urban than from rural areas, probably because the movements are generally based in cities.

--Harvey Cox

上面的段落用了不少细节来描述第一句的内容，同时也使用了分类法。例如指出宗教积极分子有大学生也有辍学者，有男也有女，有来自城市的也有来自农村的等等。
