Conclusions
So What?
Your conclusion should answer this question for the reader: So what?
It should make clear that what you've written is valuable and you mean what you say. You've thought about it,
and this is your position on the topic.
Conclusions don't have to be long. In fact, the more concise you are, the better.
1. Refer back to the hook in some way.
2. Restate the thesis statement IN A NEW AND DIFFERENT WAY.
3. Add one, final, strong point. This is your last chance to make an impression on your reader.
DO NOT ask a question.
DO write a provocative thought, a relevant quote, or a vivid image.
