The conclusion is the final paragraph. You should design the conclusion toward the goal of bringing the paper to a natural and graceful end. Do not introduce new content in the conclusion. Try one of several techniques:
Restate a paraphrased version of the thesis with a summary of your best information without the exact wording you used in the main body.
Answer the essential questions posed by your thesis statement in the introduction.
Make a thought provoking prediction or recommendation about your topic. A prediction states what will or may happen in the future, and a recommendation suggests what should or could be done about a situation or problem.
Example:
With these stories of Che's kindness to the poor and sick swirling round and round year after year and becoming embellished as they go, Che has become an icon reaching mythical status. His care for the sick, his empathy for powerless workers, and his horror at so much poverty propelled him into revolutionary movements. Whether these movements were successes or failures, whether the post-governments were images of his philosophy, Che hoped for a united Latin America where the masses had a better life. As the gap between the rich and poor grows around the world, Che’s image will continue to spread amongst the poor and disenfranchised. Educating future leaders of America about Che’s life will aid in understanding his appeal.
