writing conclusions in papers is like the stupidest thing ever though like what’s the point of dedicating an entire paragraph to “so yeah i know you just read my paper but this is a summarization of what you read in case you need to be reminded about what you just read” like why can’t the paper just end
I keep seeing this post and similar ones, and if y'all’s teachers and professors have left you with the idea that a conclusion is a summary, they have failed you in a big way.
Your conclusion is your “so what’s the fucking point” section. You’ve given you’re reader a lot of info and now they need to know why they care. Depending on the type of paper you should be giving a plan of action, explaining how this knowledge changes our understanding of the topic, link your paper to other disciplines, suggest further areas of study, etc.
One of the best pieces of writing advice I’ve ever received is that if you can’t envision yourself dropping the mic and strutting off stage at the end of your conclusion then it’s probably not strong enough.
“So whats the fucking point” is more helpful than all 6 years I’ve probably been writing papers

^ Introduction, supporting paragraphs, conclusion: a basic essay structure.
Yes, hello, this. I could also go on about the introduction. The introduction is not just the place to give a quick summary and then your stand. It is there to interest your reader, give context, and–if you’re writing an argumentative essay–define the terms upon which your argument rests and make whatever clarifications and restrictions are necessary. If you’re writing an essay in response to a set essay question, it’s also the place to break down your question and point out any assumptions that may be inherent in it–assumptions that you may or may not then choose to question.
The way you choose to define your terms and set the boundaries of your discussion can change the arguments you make. Done properly, the introduction should provide a firm foundation for your argumentative points, and make everything flow a lot better.
In some cases it’s your “so what?” Paragraph. Your call to action.
Intro: I’m about to splain you a thing
Body: heres my thing and here’s why I’m right
Conclusion: now that you know this, here’s what you should do with/about it.
