Your
conclusion is an opportunity to summarize everything you've discussed in your paper and leave
the reader with "something to think about."
A great way to do this
is by including an answer to one of the following prompts in your conclusion:
1. Why does this matter?
2. How does this connect to modern
times?
3. What lesson can we learn from this?
4. How does
this topic fit into the larger scope of things?
In a paper on the age of
Chaucer, you could take it in several different directions. You could easily connect what you've
discussed to modern life or modern writing/storytelling through comparison or contrast. You also
could pose a question about what lasting impacts of Chaucer and his contemporaries had in
English literature. If you prefer to keep "modern times" out of it, you could finish
by reflecting on how Chaucer can be distinguished from his contemporaries and why he was the one
whose works have lasted.
I certainly wouldn't include
all of this, but you can choose what works for you!
