  1. The Conclusion
    Now we are at the end of the essay—the final paragraph a.k.a. the conclusion.
    This should just be one short paragraph that echoes your introduction and brings the reader full-circle.

    A conclusion should
    • stress the importance of the thesis statement,
    • give the essay a sense of completeness, and
    • leave a final impression on the reader.

    I like the way E-how puts it: While a conclusion is often shorter than other paragraphs in the essay, it is very vital to the essay's success. It restates the essay's main points and tells the reader what to think or understand about the ideas presented in the essay. Understanding a conclusion's purpose, significance and features is essential to writing an effective conclusion.
