In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the most important components of an effective conclusion is a well-written thesis statement. Before you can draft your final paragraph, you need to make sure that your argument is coherent and polished. Spend some time editing and polishing your thesis statement.  Make sure that your thesis is not vague. For example, don't just say, "This is a paper about the death penalty." Instead, try being clear and specific. You might write, "The death penalty costs America millions of dollars per year, and as such, is one of the major expenditures in our penal system. This paper will examine why the justice system in the United States needs significant reforms." This is also the time to make sure that your essay is organized the way you want and that you've supported your thesis with strong evidence and analysis. You can't write a successful conclusion until you've organized your essay in a way that makes sense. Your conclusion should re-state your main points. A major part of a good conclusion is a reiteration of your argument. Take care to clearly state your argument again in the conclusion.  Do not just copy and paste your thesis statement. Put it in different words. For example, maybe your thesis statement is, "The Cold War significantly changed American foreign policy. It caused many policymakers to grow accustomed to having a defined enemy. This made for a somewhat confused foreign policy in the 1990s, after the fall of the Soviet Union." You will want to rephrase it in the conclusion. Try saying, "As demonstrated by looking at the foreign policy actions of President Bush and Clinton, the post-Cold War foreign policy suffered from a lack of coherent action. Your conclusion should remind your reader what they have learned. Take care to remind them why your argument is strong. By using specific examples, you will be strengthening the argument you've worked hard to lay out. You might consider providing a useful anecdote in your conclusion. For example, if you are writing about the plight of the polar bears, offer a story about the polar bear at the San Diego Zoo. Your paper should be organized in a way that clearly explains the main components of your argument. For example, maybe your paper on the Civil War addresses the causes and the impact on the economy and politics. Make sure that your conclusion reminds your readers of each part of your paper.  Try to synthesize. This means taking the analysis further than just simply summarizing your points. Your conclusion is a great place to not only summarize, but to draw connections. Tell your reader how your different points connect. For example, you can point out that the Civil War affected both the economy and politics, and that the two were intertwined. Your conclusion is your final chance to make a powerful impression on your reader. Make sure to include all of the necessary components in your conclusion. You will want to review it carefully after writing a draft.  Make sure that you have clearly stated your argument. Your reader should not be confused about your point. Review your main points. Have you included all of them in your conclusion? Does your conclusion explain why your topic is significant? Remember, it is your last chance to convince your reader that your research is important. Make the importance clear. You can state, "This research is significant because it illustrates connections between 19th century literature and the feminists of today."
Summary: Revise your thesis statement. Re-write your thesis statement. Use specific examples. Summarize your main points. Leave a lasting impression.

If your apples came waxed, the caramel will not stick. In this case, you'll want to wash them using water and baking soda. Once the caramel hardens, you can serve the apples. Some people like to leave the apples on the counter for about 15 minutes so they won't be as cold. If you'd like extra-gourmet apples, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top of each apple.

Problem: Article: For quick counting, the first thing you should do is create a stack of all of your 1s, all of your 5s, all of your 10s, all of your 20s, and so on. Gather all of your bills into one big stack and then go through it one bill at a time and put each one in the stack with its respective denomination. Do this while or after you separate your bills into different stacks. This may make counting faster and easier, and also keeps your money more organized. Pick up one stack and hold it in your nondominant hand. Grab the top bill with your dominant thumb and pointer finger to make sure it’s only 1 bill. Then place the bill down on a flat surface in front of you while you count it. Continue to grab and move the bills one at a time while counting by the denomination. For example, if you’re counting a stack of 5 dollar bills, think or say “5, 10, 15, 20,” as you grab and place the first 4 bills onto the flat surface. Secure and set aside each stack of 50 bills of the same denomination. This is easy if you’re counting 1s, because you’ll just stop once you’ve reached 50. It’s helpful to know the monetary value of 50 of each denomination beforehand so that you know when to stop.  If you’re counting 5 dollar bills, stop when you get to $250. If you’re counting 10 dollar bills, stop when you get to $500. If you’re counting 20 dollar bills, stop when you get to $1,000. Continue banding each stack of 50 bills and setting them aside. Once you’re out of bills, add each stack together starting with the higher denominations and then add any leftover bills afterward.  It may be easier and faster to use a calculator at this point. For example, if you have 3 stacks of 20s, 2 stacks of 10s, 5 stacks of 5s and 23 loose 1 dollar bills, your math would look like this: 1,000 + 1,000 + 1,000 + 500 + 500 + 250 + 250 + 250 + 250 + 250 + 23 = 5,273.
Summary:
Separate your stacks by denomination. Adjust the bills so that they’re all facing the same direction. Count each bill as you pass it from one hand to the other. Wrap a rubber band around a stack once you reach 50 bills. Add up all banded stacks and leftover bills.
