How should a conclusion be written when someone is writing a paragraph expressing the character traits of a literary character?

If a short essay or paragraph is written on the traits of a literary character, it should begin with a thesis statement similar to: the character X in the book Y shows the traits 1, 2, and 3 (the X represents the character's name, the Y the book title, and the numbers approximately three traits).


The body of the essay would then expand on how the character shows each of the traits and explain using evidence from the text.


Finally, the conclusion should restate that the author shows the traits (traits 1, 2, and 3) in the story.


Essentially, a conclusion is a restatement or overview of what the essay or paragraph talked about in-depth. You may use your thesis or intro as a guide, but do not use the exact same words.
