A conclusion holds a number of points, it can sum up the piece of writing/essay, it can also refuse to sum up - creating more of an argument and point of view. It can change the subject, leave the reader satisfied or it can leave them wanting more. The ending of the writing can also put everything into perspective, however it is possible to explode the perspective and open the mind of the reader.
“First sentences, as we have seen, are promissory notes. Whether they foreshadow plot, sketch in character, establish mood, or jump-start arguments, the road ahead of them stretches invitingly and all things are, at least for the moment, possible. Last sentences are more constrained in their possibilities. They can sum up, refuse to sum up, change the subject, leave you satisfied, leave you wanting more, put everything into perspective, or explode perspectives. They do have one advantage: they become the heirs of the interest that is generated by everything that precedes them; they don’t have to start the engine; all they have to do is shut it down” (Fish, 2005, p. 119).
After looking at points that we can use inside our conclusions, we thought personally at 'What have been the limitations of our study and what further
work/research is needed'. I believe that I should write more about how I regard the relationship between graphic design as graffiti, and reference other new opinions on the subject. I would also like to use more images to illustrate my ideas about how subcultures often feed into or even become subsumed by dominant cultures.
My second essay submission should be full of new ideas, I shouldn't write about the same subjects as before, repeating myself or expanding to create longer sentences. I should have a new conclusion all together, bringing new points from my essay into the ending to conclude. I need to show my curiosity and interest for the essay I have written.
'Future research may reiterate the points made here. Introducing
existential thought may provoke an interesting regurgitation of the absurd and
the anxious in the context of design. Providing a more detailed history would
have bolstered my argument more, as would an in depth understanding of
phenomenology.'
Our task for the future for writing our essays was to ask questions, for peer and tutor advice. I should write my essay and maybe read other students essay for other good examples. We can edit each others in our own time and each Thursday morning in these seminars.
