My sister actually had vampire who keeps going back to medical schools over and over and over again. Every time he completes it he adds a ‘Dr.’ to his title. Right now he’s ‘Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Vampire’.

without the knowledge of ocs this implies that she owned a vampire. like kept one as a pet

I NEED HELP FOR MY SISTER AND HER SON

My name is Monica. And this is my sister Wiola and her six years old son Jakub.

Last month my sister’s husband left with another woman and he move to another country. We don’t know where excacly. He doesn’t pay for anything, he doesn’t send any money. He is a piece of shit. He was homophobic towards me, he cheated on her when she was pregnant. He was always working, not caring about his son. But my sister stayed with him because of the child.Also she had to leave the place they live for the last 9 years because it was bought by his parents and they told her to move out.

She is back now in our parents home where I sill live too. There’s only two rooms in the house, kitchen and one bathroom. All of this for 5 people now. This is our house:

She wants to find a place to rent because right now she is stuck wth Jakub with me in my small room. And he is in the first grade and he doesn’t even have a place to do his homework. Also he is growing so fast that he needs new shoes and jacket for the winter. She is going to take legal action against her husband but she needs money for that too. I don’t how else to help her because I’m unemployed it this moment.

She needs 4000$.

UPDATE ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13TH - I HATE TO BEG BUT WE DON’T GET ANYTHING IN TWO DAYS AND SHE NEED AT LEAST 400$ TO BUY HER SON NEW JACKET, SHOES, PAY FOR SCHOOL LUNCH AND HOME BILLS. ALSO CHRISTMAS IS VERY SOON AND MY SISTER WANTS TO GIVE HER SON A PROPER ONE. SHE WILL PROBABLY NOT HAVE MONEY FOR PRESENTS BUT AT LEAST THEY WILL HAVE ENOUGH?

UPDATE ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14TH - WE RAISED 805$ ON YOUCARING PAGE AND 50$ ON PAYPAL. SO WE HAVE 855$. THANK YOU SO MUCH! BUT IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH TO RENT A PLACE AND PAY FOR BILLS. AND YOU GUYS NEED TO KNOW, THAT I WAS TOO ASHAMED TO SAY, IS THAT MY FATHER IS AN ALCOHOLIC SO IT’S NOT GOOD FOR MY NEPHEW TO STILL LIVE HERE. 

SO PLEASE, EVEN DOLLAR MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Your essay’s conclusion can make or break your argument. The impression it leaves the reader with can stay with them long after they finish reading it. Despite it’s importance, the conclusion can be one of the most difficult sections to write, but it can be critical in transforming a standard essay into a compelling one. Here are a few things to think about when writing your next conclusion:

Mountain and funnel analogy The best english lit teacher I ever had once said your essay is like a mountain; your introduction and body paragraphs are your climb to the summit, and your conclusion is your chance to reflect on the journey. What parts stuck out the most? How did the journey contribute to what you see at the summit? Alternatively, she also offered the view of looking at your essay like a funnel. Each idea funnels down from its body paragraph to the conclusion, all contributing to the main idea of the essay or thesis. This is what your conclusion should highlight.

Do more than just reiterate the overview of your main arguments  Don’t just give a basic overview of the main arguments, as if reading off a shopping list. This is the opportunity to draw links between ideas which were previously detached from one another. Demonstrate the subtleties of the ideas, how they are all interconnected on some level, and how they support your thesis.

Reference a counter argument or limitation A more insightful conclusion might give reference to a counter argument or limitation explained in a previous body paragraph. This shows to the reader you are capable of higher order thinking and recognising that your approach is not the only one. 

Give your essay a sense of completeness A strong conclusion will leave the reader with a feeling of satisfaction which comes from completion. There are a few ways you can go about this:

  • Restate or echo your thesis - reuse key words in your thesis or the essay question throughout the conclusion to indicate to the reader that you have successfully answered the question
  • A final sentence largely composed of single syllables implies finality
  • Use compound or parallel sentences

Of course, these are only a few ways. There are many more!

Highlight the implications of your findings What is the significance of your findings? How does this reflect reality/current times? What is its relevance? These types of questions go beyond the scope of the essay and allow you to draw more profound conclusions of greater importance.

Look to the future Pose solutions to the problem, a potential course of action, or questions for further study! These can direct your reader to draw their own conclusions or to realise the larger implications.

What to avoid

  • rewriting your introduction - your conclusion is more than a rehash of your introduction; try to include any of the above topics to avoid this!
  • overused and clunky phrases such as ‘to conlcude’ and ‘in summary’ - these can be redundant and trite in writing and should be reserved for oral presentations
  • introducing new information or ideas - these should all ready be presented in the body paragraphs
  • overly sentimental or emotional remarks - this would be highly out of place in an analytical essay
  • restating your thesis from the introduction without any development - your thesis should evolve in the body paragraphs to allow you to draw insightful conclusions

I hope this is helpful for writing future essay conclusions! My inbox is open if you have any questions!!
