Is one example enough for the SAT essay?

No.

Remember that 60 seconds is around the average time spent on reading an essay (they have a lot of essays to read, after all), so aim for an essay with at least two, (preferably three) examples.

There is a significant positive correlation between length and score, so using more than one example (seriously, just make up a book [it works]) is one of the easiest ways to increase your score.

It’s a twenty-five minute timed essay, so your examples (and their veracity) matters much less than how well you can explain them. It seems that you can explain your examples well, based on what you have provided, so throw in one or two extra, and your essay will be in a far better position.
