This sort of conclusion will help you express why exactly you making the claims written in your paper are so important and what they add up to.

The conclusion should reiterate what you have been talking about in the body paragraphs and tie the whole paper back together, new information does not need to be added.

This is a good general road map for me to follow, because I am generally new to the outline process.

Topic sentences are important because they link your thesis to your body paragraphs. They set the tone for the body paragraph.

Its important to try and honestly explain your opposite side in your argument, by doing this, you can also pose their argument in a perspective that you are okay with. Its critical to reflect on the opposite side in an argument to present the reader all viewpoints the way you want to, and to look fair as an author.

This shows that more than 60% of the people in the US feel increased tension in the US.

This shows the American people are at extreme crossroads with their views.

Their is a deep disconnect on the outlook of the president, with two drastically different views being supported.

Ive seen his show many times, he is extremely pro Trump, he has a biased viewpoint against the Left, he is feeding this information to millions of people every night.

This viewpoint is blaming the media for the growing and deeper disconnect in American politics.

This staistic shows deep disconnect amongst the people

These are just two of the many inflammatory statements being made in this article by notable members of the media. This makes serious political division clear, and its starts all the way at the media and spirals down from there.

Political views are affecting many aspects of life.

There is always urgency in the media, and the views are always splitting which may create a confused, chaotic environment.

This definitely helps add to my point about tensions in America getting worse

I know there was some hard feelings between Clinton and Sanders supporters after Clinton became the parties nominee, I wonder if this caused any millenials who voted in the Democratic Primary to not vote at all in the general, vote for a third party candidate, or vote for Trump (because Bernie and Trump had the same view on trade and both called for radical change).

So young people were marching that couldn't even vote...Could this mean that the next generation, the generation that can't vote, but will be able to soon, will align with the ones that did vote in the 2016 election? This would lead some people to believe that Americans would be more cohesive politically speaking 20 years down the road if this trend stays the same.

Even though the nation is divided politically as a whole, this piece makes the case that the younger generation is definitely united to a certain degree. I wonder how this will affect the division in political viewpoints in America 20 years from now.

This is an interesting question...It seems as though even though America is politically divided,sometimes down to families, it seems like for the majority, millenials are united to a certain degree in their political viewpoints.

This attests to the division in America.

It seems that to many, the election didn't really hit its climax until a winner or loser was called.

At least people are trying to address their problems. No matter which way the election had gone, their were going to be some very frustrated losers.

This is really sad to hear about. It shows just how much emotions can affect people's lives.

I know we are expected to edit are interviews, and this is the only thing I don't want to do while editing.

I think it is good to have some back and forth dialogue with the interviewee simply for the sake of proper communication.

This is important so you always get the ones you really want to hear out of the way first. In case you were ever to run out of time, at least the questions that are left to answer are not too important.

I assume it is especially important to check sound quality, and to make sure your phone is charged and make sure the program you are using on your phone is properly functioning while doing a phone interview.

This is important with dealing with any source in order to try and get them to open up honestly to you I believe.

I think this is effective as you don't want to steal the spotlight for the interviewee.

I agree with this. It makes for a very authentic interview.

This affirms that I will do a phone interview. It is also really nice if any of your subjects live far away.

This conversation seems very real because they are talking in more of a friendly, personal and laid back manner. By using contractions and a phrase like "Mmm." it really helps give the conversation such authenticity.

I think that both Toni and Camaran showing authentic emotion is such an important part to a great Storycorps interview.

This is sort of an interesting way to transition from trips to cancer and chemo. I'm not sure how smooth this is. They transition from one topic to another pretty quickly, and it seems that the transition was at ease for the people participating in the conversation. I'm not sure how well the people listening understood the conversation. Nonetheless, it is a pretty interesting transition and one that should be noted should you choose to go down this route, I would probably make it a bit more clear though so the reader can better grasp it.

It's interesting how Debra followed Patricia's question up with another question. Debra didn't really answer Patricia's question, but she definitely acknowledge it. I wonder if this is a good or bad move.

You Can see that Phil waited until the end of Frank's story before asking a question. Also, the question that Phil asked directly relates back to the story, which kind of acknowledges that Frank was definitely paying attention to the story and did a nice job of staying assertive.

There is sort of a harmonious back and fourth going on to open the conversation up. They both have more unique sort of intros to the story. The both start by talking about some particular aspect, instead of just answering questions.

Anyone who believes in conspiracy theories likes to hear them! Thus, of course they will "research" more and buy into it.

People who like conspiracy theories, listen to them, and enjoy hearing about it doesn't necessarily mean they truly support them deep down in they're heart of hearts. Everyone in this world constantly plays tricks with themselves on a daily basis, and sometimes these tricks really do seem "compelling" even though we know its not true.

I saw the story on this, and even though this particular instance that they are referring to has been announced as fake an untrue, they made it look really real.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is true, but it's kind of ironic that this appears in an article about fake news, considering the Daily Beast has been known for getting stories wrong.

If you think about it, anybody who actually listens to anything like this clearly doesn't care if they are listening to real or fake news. It doesn't matter, they don't care what it is. Let's say you are one of his 1.8 million subscribers, there is clearly a reason why people subscribe, cause they like what they're hearing! They all realize that in their heart of hearts their is no proof to back most of his stories, just his "proof," but they don't really care. At the end of the day, it happens on all sides of the political spectrum, 24/7, no matter what. This guy does it to make a living, and clearly its paid off pretty darn well, he gets a lot of eyeballs, a lot attention, and quite frankly its pretty smart on his end. I mean, all humans kind of present alternative facts to themselves all the time, everyday, in one way or another, big or small, stupid and silly. People will always filter, believe what they want to believe and hear what they want to hear.

This is such a wonderful concept and guide. This truly eliminates the junk or the excess fat of your essay, getting right down to the thick of the essay.

This is a very interesting concept, and could be used very tactfully. However, you have to make sure that what your doing will make sense to both the reader and the writers perspective. Otherwise, it will be even more confusing than without this concept.

This is a very interesting concept, and you see it play out in this particular section. However, this could be a bit more confusing if you are just telling a person about the "recent" movie that you saw. "Recent" is all relative. It might be "recent" to the person who just saw the movie, but hearing about the other person seeing the movie, might be something that you didn't know that the other person had done, therefore it is new to you!

I like these type of revisions better for my paper. In my opinion, they will create a more lasting change by not boring the reader to death.

I have a tendency of doing this, so this would be something I should watch out for while revising my paper.

I feel like if your still confused or not sold on what your thesis or story should be, your really not even close to the revising stage yet, more so the drafting stage. I would think by this time I would have a good handle on my thesis, maybe just tweeking

I believe that what he was saying if digested carefully, was definitely powerful and very different from anything I have seen before.

The language has intimacy to a certain degree, the author gets into some deep stuff beneath the lines, but there is just so much going on that it gets confusing.

I feel like the poem is very unorganized, and quite unpredictable. Kind of like his life. There were many ups and downs twists and turns.

His sentences are primarily short and easy to understand, by saying too much and confusing the reader, you are more likely to disengage him.

I like how the author critiques the comic books. This kind of allows me as a reader to understand what he is thinking and I also now have the ability to compare my thoughts and is

I like her use of social media through the blog. This gives the reader different ways of interaction which everyone enjoys.

This introduction is extremely short and sweet. It gives enough information to let me know about the reader, her blog, and her personality to a certain degree. I like how short the intro is so you have an opportunity to explore the blog and the actual content before becoming bored or disinterested.

The title, and most of the subtitles (like the one I highlighted), are very enticing and make the reader want to keep reading. In short, its a bunch of click-bate. Nonetheless, it makes people want to keep reading.

This is the second use of a step by step list I have seen in these blogs. It is interesting to see another version of a step by step list with easy to understand words and instructions with slightly more detail below if you want to read more about it. This allows you as a blogger the option to cater to two types of readers, the one who gets bored easily and is looking for the cliff notes and the one who actually wants to learn about this type of stuff.

I find this sentence particularly interesting. By posting whatever comes to mind, there is no limit to what you can discuss which keeps you from getting writers block. Many times something comes to mind and you normally wouldn't be able to write about it if you have a themed blog.
