A conclusion is the final part of an essay or speech where the main points are summarized, key arguments are restated, and a closing statement is made. It provides closure for the reader/listener and reinforces the overall message.
Think of a conclusion as the last scene in a movie where all loose ends are tied up. Just like how this scene brings everything together and leaves you with a lasting impression, a conclusion wraps up your argument and leaves a strong impact on your audience.
Thesis Statement: A clear and concise statement that presents the main argument or claim of an essay.
Summarize: To briefly restate the main points or ideas in a concise manner.
Impact: The effect or influence that something has on someone's thoughts, feelings, or actions.
