How many examples should I include in essays during the exam?

For TEXT and CONTEXT, i find it really hard to write 2 examples for each para under exam condition, what's the suggestion?
Will the marks be deducted if i don't include enough examples?
Thanks if you can help me :)

U should have examples on paragraphs that dont talk about the text, if u have 4 paragraphs u can talk about the text in 2 of them, or if u have 3 paragraphs u should talk about the text one, and examples on the other paragraphs.

If you are having trouble talking about examples, go to a history(revolutions) teacher at your school, and ask them for some resources about the revolutions they are studying. They have great examples, and if for your context you do conflict, then ask for resources about 'revolutionary situations'. 'Revolutionary situations' is a term used in vce history and the teacher will 100% know what to give you. Whether at your school the revolutions class studies the russian, chinese, french or american revolution, for conflict essays, the 'revolutionary situations' from those revolutions are incredibly good.

If you are looking for modern examples, turn on ABC news they are great at presenting everything bad in the world..which ironically is sometimes good for vce students. Dont go to news.com.au for stories for context, or even channel 7,9,10, these channels are sometimes only good at talking about celebrities butts.

Thanks for the reply! :)

I am doing Identity and Belonging.  So for context, can i write like that?

intro: Personal Anecdote
para1 : one example from text
para2: one outside resource
para3: one example from text + one outside resource?
conclusion: whatever

 :) I'm aiming for 9/10 and i'm EAL
