The Conclusion

Ok, think of the structure of the introduction…and then flip it around. Start out with your literary device sentence (not word for word of course!). And then slowly make your way out of the specifics and back into general. (This would be like the first sentence of the paper.)

My senior English teacher in high school liked us to do this thing he called a TILL. (I do not remember what this stood for or if it was even an acronym for anything, but it’s still very important.) A TILL is the last sentence, and it relates the entire paper and theme to real life. This is the ONLY sentence that you can use the word “we” in. Other wise using the word “we” will get you a lower grade, trust me. And never... EVER…use “I” in an analysis paper. (This makes most “sane” English teachers cringe.) To continue with our example, a very plain relation to real life would be: We should remember when hard times hit us or our families the greatest strength can be gained by working together.
I'm going to try to make a visual for the structure of the paper I have now detailed out for you. We'll see how my computer skills compare to my writing skills.
