Examples bring to mind the hardest genre of test questions. Explain Hooke's Law and give one example of a situation in which it should be used. Examples kill simple multiple choice, and force the return of a student's gift from God; true or false questions. Still, they can also save; guiding a mind through the tangled hallways of calculus and trigonometry equations.
Basic is simple and hardy, like fresh baked bread, brown rice and mashed potatoes. Apparently basic is full of carbohydrates. But so often people look to dilute, the simple, good, basic things, adding sour cream or butter; extra fat that we don't need. I get the feeling I'm hungry.
Cheap is such a vulgar word- tacky, poor. The opposite of everything most strive to achieve- rich, luxurious things with velvet linings. But cheap is what I need to live from day to day. Not all of us are born into good fortune.
A key-chain guards everything you value in life; freedom, family, security- but serialized and materialized into a car, a house, a padlock, all accessible from a small, cheap plastic object.
