The
Conclusion
Just as the
introduction functions to open the essay discussion by introducing the THESIS
STATEMENT, so the concluding idea wraps up the discussion, bringing the
development to a logical end.
But what
does one say in a conclusion? Here are some points about the conclusion to keep
in mind.
1.
The
conclusion can restate the main points (subtopics) discussed: This restatement
should be brief; after all, you have already discussed them at length.
2.
A
conclusion can restate the thesis: Generally to avoid sounding repetitions, it
is a good idea to restate the thesis in
different words.
3.
A
conclusion should not, however, bring up a new topic.
For
example, an essay about the nice things to see in Mexico could conclude as
follows:
There are, of course, many more things to visit
while you are in Mexico, but the beach at Progreso, the Aztec ruin, and the
famous monument represent some of the more significant and beautiful sights to see. When you go to
Mexico, visit these sights and you will be guaranteed a fond memory after you
go home.
