Describe the elements of a concluding paragraph, including the restatement of the introductory paragraph's hook, restatement, concluding statement, and transition words.

The restatement of the introductory paragraph's hook, or thesis, should restate the thesis without using the exact words. (To make it interesting and not use the same sentence every time) The concluding statement should pull all of the pieces together, and should be a very strong and powerful sentence. It should catch the eye of the reader and conclude the essay. Transition words are used to make the paragraph smooth, making sure that the sentences flow easily.
