Ok, whats the syntax for including examples in essays? Is it just e.g. and then blah blah blah or is there another way?

I don't think you should use e.g; you should write it out in full.

Here's an example of the use of an example:

"The composer conveys Huck's point of view in for example, 'I felt good and all washed clean of sin.' "

You can also replace "in for example" with "such as in" and "as in".

Hope that helps. :)

It is best for the quote to flow directly into the sentense, this sounds more sophistacted as well as uses less ink:

'I felt good and all washed clean of sin.' conveys Huck's point of view.
