A great story needs a great ending. What happens when it fails?

🐉 Game of Thrones Millions of fans were angry because the ending felt rushed and didn't make sense.
☂️ How I Met Your Mother Fans felt betrayed because the ending destroyed 9 seasons of character development.

📐 The Anatomy of a Conclusion

How to write the perfect ending using the "Inverted Pyramid".

Your introduction started broad and became specific. Your conclusion does the exact opposite: it starts specific and ends broad!

1. Restate the Thesis

Remind the reader of your main argument, but use different words. Do not just copy and paste from the introduction!

2. Summarize Main Ideas

Briefly mention the key points you made in your body paragraphs. Bring the ideas together.

3. The "Mic Drop" (Final Thought)

End with a strong, emotional, or global statement. Leave a lasting impression in the reader's mind.

🚨 WRITER'S WARNING: No New Characters!
Never introduce new information, new arguments, or new research in your conclusion. It will confuse the reader. The conclusion is only for closing what you already discussed!

🎧 The Green Finale (Reading)

Listen to this conclusion about recycling. Notice the 3 parts!
READY

To sum up, recycling is a vital process that deeply benefits the environment.

As discussed, it conserves natural resources, lowers our need to collect raw materials, and keeps usable items out of landfills. Furthermore, it significantly reduces our carbon footprint by extending the longevity of materials.

Ultimately, recycling is only one part of a much-needed effort to combat climate change, but it is an essential action that guarantees a healthier and more stable planet for future generations.

Cyan = Restated Thesis | Gold = Summary | Red = Mic Drop
