My essay is about conformity and rebellion. I need a really good conclusion. My intro is this:

In life there will be certain situations in which we will have to stay in order or choose to make our decisions ourselves. For example there will be times when conformity will strike or rebellion and those will be the difficult times when we will have to make decisions. In the short stories "lenses" and "Harrison Bergeron"we will see examples of both these situations and how they were dealt with.

Please help me write a good concluding paragraph. Thanks

I have to write from specific to general in my concluding paragraph and can't have any contractions, no 1st person or second person , no rhetorical questions , no in conclusion, in summary, etc
If you wrote your introduction right, you went from general to specific (the last sentence being your thesis statement). Is that right? So you just reverse that for your conclusion.

Here are some really good ideas for writing conclusions on these webpages:

I have some questions/comments about your intro, though. First of all, conformity doesn't "strike" and you have no verb for "rebellion." I think you need to rethink and rewrite that particular sentence.

Once you draft your conclusion, please repost, and I'll check it over for you.
