clinchers

i need some strategies for clinchers. so far i have asking a question and restating the thesis in different words. does anyone have anything else?

  1. Well, you could end with something dramatic, like restating the theme in a more drastic way... if that makes sense. Or you can end with a connection, either to yourself or something in the world (but good luck getting a personal connection without an unforgivable). Hope this helps!

  2. You can also end with a quote. Something that is dromatic and is connected to the theme.

  3. I realy do not like the usual," can ______ get to ______, or will ______ get to him first" thats very uninteresting," i like something that has to do with the them or quote ( if you are doing a booktalk)I realy liked Julia Scanzillos clincher, her quote was that the protagonist was swimming up a waterfall and the clincher was something like, will she be able to swim up the ladder, or will the current send her plummiting back to water.

  4. This is more for creative writing, but you could do something like the reader has to kind of figure out what happens next on there own.... I'm sorry that doesn't make sense but I don't really know how to describe it.

  5. You could try to mirror the introduction in different words. That's what I found when I googled it when I was writing my social studies essay. It didn't really help that, but it could help with different kind of writing.
