Writing a Conclusion Paragraph

When you conclude an argumentative or analytical essay, it is important provide an understanding of the meaning of the essay as a whole. Generally, the conclusion needs to do three things:

Revisit the topic and thesis of the essay (but don't just repeat the sentences from the first paragraph)
Summarize the claims you made
Leave the audience with a lasting impression of the relevance or significance. To support this, you might

--incorporate a quotation from the text
---evoke a vivid image
---suggest results or consequences
