I have always been awful at starting and concluding my essays.  Luckily, I had a few good ideas for the intro.  Now I need to create a successful conclusion.  My essay begins with a quote from a TV show that most of the essay's readers can relate to.  It is a good intro to the rest of the essay and introduces the main idea and the theme.  On the other hand, my conclusion is lacking.  It cuts off very suddenly and doesn't leave the reader very satisfied.  The conclusion is mostly analytically based and  what it really needs is the addition of another more personal paragraph to the end to really sum up how I feel about the media and how it has impacted my life rather than analyzing how the planet has changed over the past few decades.
