The closing paragraph should restate the main idea discussed in the essay but should not repeat the language in the introduction or body paragraphs verbatim. 

The conclusion is the final opportunity to make a lasting impression on the reader. Think about excellent books or movies that have memorable endings. 

What characteristics make those endings memorable?

 Do the final words or images leave a question in audience’s mind?

Do they prompt one to action? 

A strong conclusion resonates with the reader, casting a net beyond the confines of the text to make a statement or observation about the larger world.

Write 500–600 words, five paragraph minimum
