Unlike the summary essay where you do not have a conclusion apart from the resolution of the plot you have described, a response essay requires your conclusion. Be sure to do the following:. Refer to your outline to check that you have covered all the points in your writing;.Reduce the substance of your major points to a brief summary for your conclusion;.Restate your thesis and affirm that you have succeeded in proving it by the points you have made;.Give your overall impression of the work;.Try to tie the whole essay together in a final sentence that could perhaps state the relevance of the novel’s message and your thesis to our time.
