Let your readers know you have come to the end of the essay. Again, the world is divided on whether to begin with a transition phrase.
The three parts to have are:
1. Restatement of the thesis statement - using different diction, order etc to keep it fresh and avoiding repetition and monotony
2. Revisit your two supports following the same advice as above
3. Offering a So what?
A So What offers an insight on why your topic was important either to life (what life lesson can be learned about the topic when viewed through the lens of the evidence provided) or to the literature itself (how does it help us to better understand some aspect of the novel—theme, character, symbolism, etc). The So what will try to suggest the broader significance of your discussion—why is it important?
You are not raising any new evidence or supports from the literature, but instead offering a deeper meaning or new insight based on the supports you have used in the previous three paragraphs.
The best essays will use parallel structure—what I begin with, I end with—they will incorporate something from their lead in the final statement of the essay.
