I need to write an essay and I need advice on how to conclude it.

If you re-post your question and give us additional information, it will be easier to answer you more specifically. In general, however, there are a lot of theories about how to conclude an essay. A very basic plan is to restate your thesis statement from the opening paragraph. At your level, this should be done in a skillful way, however. If you simply restate what you have already written, it will be simplistic. Your ending also will depend heavily on the type of essay you are writing. If the essay is informative, for example, then you could go the "restate the thesis" route. However, if it is humorous essay, you have more freedom to be creative. In this case, the ending should have a strong impact - leave the reader smiling or laughing at the end. If the essay is more philosophical in nature, it can be effective to end with a dynamite quote that is germane to your topic. Also, some very persuasive essays can be ended strongly with rhetorical questions.


I could go on and on. As you see, there are so many possibilities. That is why we need more information in order to help you.
