How to Write a Conclusion for a Literary Analysis Essay

Sometimes, the hardest of part of writing an essay is ending it. In this video, I'll show you how to write an effective conclusion paragraph for an essay step by step using a sample essay I wrote for my English class about The Scarlet Letter. This tutorial is especially helpful if you're prepping for the AP Literature exam.
If you're new to the essay-writing process, don't worry! I've also included common mistakes to avoid when writing your conclusion.

I have never read " the scarlet letter" but am currently reading the crucible and i must say Dimmesdale has some very similar traits as John Proctor.

Immensely appreciating contents you have on your channel. Though I have quite brushed up all these in my high school and college days, it is highly valuable for people in general, particularly the viewers from countries where English is taught as a second language. Fascinating!..

[@mylash1220]

me watching this because it’s sunday and my teacher hates me and decides to make me redo work during thanksgiving break because he wants me to elaborate more when he knows i have trouble paying attention to the stories and yet he still sits me in the back of the class 😭👍🏽

[@wambooter6200]

I used for an essay thanks!

[@MsPeerEditor]

That's awesome, no problem :D

[@eugeniacawley9621]

Thanks for all the videos. I've used this one, along with the Intro to and Body Paragraphs for Literary Analysis Essay videos. They are great in helping students (and myself) understand how to approach the literary analysis essay and how to write them even if the prompts are different from yours. Do you have videos on writing critically about plays and/or poems?

[@MsPeerEditor]

That's awesome! This video shows how to write a poetry analysis essay for the AP Lit exam, but it should help you out for any type of poetry-related essay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIHYYnuArtmZj6s. I'll look into making a video about plays!

[@linahorn5877]

Thank you!

[@denisekoh33]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! MY ESSAY IS DUE IN AN HOUR AND I NEVER PAY ATTENTION IN ENGLISJ

[@adventure1592]

How about when the title is the name of the main character and the story mainly talks about her. Must I still avoid using the character's name in the conclusion? it seems to be impossible to me.

[@elijahhuggins1670]

thanks

[@lindasun6066]

I think it would be really cool to maybe cover Latin roots, prefixes, suffixes that can help break down words. It might be fun? 😂

[@vincentmac859]

Does this apply to poems too

[@MsPeerEditor]

Yes! You can still discuss important themes in a poem for your conclusion.

[@sbm7201]
