Corey's Responses in WyzAnt Answers

Lauren H. has provided you with a pretty reliable formula for producing the type of conclusion commonly accepted in academic writing, and I would say you should certainly follow that formula if this is what your instructor requests. However, I have also heard many teachers complain about the monotony of having to read hundreds of essays that are nearly identical in format and style. If you are afforded some flexibility in crafting your essay I would say take a different approach that allows your own creativity and cleverness to shine through. ... Here are a few things to consider when writing a conclusion:

1. Is the conclusion necessarily the final paragraph? 

2. Do you state your thesis in the beginning and then provide supporting body paragraphs, or, do you build up to your thesis and save it for the end? Or, do you reach it somewhere in the middle?

In my opinion, I'd say ask yourself "what is the point of the essay, what am I trying to prove, or state," and then determine the best way to organize your writing--either by means of a preparatory outline or through heavy revision and editing after free-writing.

Hope this helps

Alternatively, if 'Love' and 'Beauty' are capitalized but not in the context of title then the capitalization would have drastically different meaning. Capitalization in a title is just the standard format for titles. However, in the context of the body of writing capitalization signifies a proper noun. It may sound strange to capitalize 'Love' and 'Beauty' to signify proper noun since, typically, we think of proper nouns as someone's name or a city. But turning words such as 'love' and 'beauty' into proper nouns is a way of signifying a unique thing to which these words refer, and, a unique thing that is accessible to both people (speaker and listener, writer and reader, etc.). Uncapitalized, love and beauty are merely mentioned and not discussed with much specificity or depth. But capitalized, love and beauty are the primary things about which we speak. Furthermore, in such a specific context, the pronoun(s) is usually differentiated from other closely related, easily confused, but nonetheless different, things since an absolutely unique thing--conveying no information alone--needs contrast with other things if the proper name is to convey anything meaningful. 

Please feel free to contact me or reply with questions and/or comments if my explanation was not sufficiently clear.

The negation of an if/then statement cannot be an if/then statement because the negation is a selection, or choice, whereas an if/then statement is conditional. The if/then statement merely states a causal relation between two possibilities but it does not guarantee the outcome or actuality of these possibilities. For example, "if A, then B" means that if it is true that A is, then B is too; however, it does not establish that A is or B is. The negation of this if/then statement, "A, but not B," is a negation in the sense that it is an outcome which establishes that B does not necessarily follow from A, or, in other words, it proves that the relation stated in the if/then statement is false.
