CONCLUSIONS!
Take a sheet of paper.
You will write the conclusion to essays! You are almost done!
Like the introductory paragraph, the conclusion must include three parts:
1. Restatement of your thesis - reaffirm your position that Holden is a depressed teen
2. 1-2 sentences that summarize the main points you made in your essays
3. A concluding sentence that leaves the reader something to think about
In your conclusion, move from specific info. about Holden and depression to general information about depression.
