sample conclusion
giving in to peer pressure is usually a mistake, but it can also help us grow. in \marigolds,\ peer pressure helps lizabeth begin to learn that she needs to be kinder. in \safety of numbers,\ peer pressure helps the narrator define her independence. in my life, peer pressure taught me that i can overcome self - doubt. while it would be better to learn these lessons without giving in to what others want us to do, there is a silver lining knowing that we can still learn from our mistakes.

1. how is a conclusion similar to an introduction?
2. how is a conclusion different from an introduction?

Explanation:

1. Both can restate the thesis. The introduction presents the main - idea at the start, and the conclusion can restate it to reinforce.
2. The introduction is to introduce the topic and draw readers in, while the conclusion summarizes key points and connects to the broader world. It moves from specific (thesis) to general (world) in the triangle strategy, unlike the introduction which sets the stage.

Answer:

1. Both can restate the thesis.
2. The introduction introduces the topic, while the conclusion summarizes and connects to the world.
