Conclusion (five sentences)
Rephrase thesis: Rewrite the last sentence of introduction.
Even though Portia demonstrates that she is a strong woman, as an outcome of her husband’s decision
to kill Caesar, she breaks down and commits suicide.
Restate three examples used in body paragraphs that support character’s trait.
-She tries to find out why Brutus acts odd
-She attempts to stop Brutus from assassinating Caesar by sending her servant to the Senate house
-She cannot accept the fact that she may loose her husband to Antony and Octavius, so she swallows
fire
Answer: So what? What does this character trait say about people in general?
Even if people act strong, everyone has a weakness. Portia’s weakness is that she cares too much for
her husband.
Complete the essay to complement the hook: Add on to the first sentence of this essay to explain what a
