Conclusion on a Roy Lichtenstein biography

I need essay help on making my conclusion on a on a Roy Lichtenstein biography.Linda responds:I can see you need some help with several things, starting with an understanding of what a biography is.

A biography is not simply a chronological list of events in someone’s life. The narrative has to make a point, which is called the thesis statement.

I teach my students to grab a working thesis to help them narrow their focus as they do research. Instead of researching Roy Lichtenstein, for example, I’d suggest they pick some narrow topic like:

• Roy Lichtenstein is a humorist.


• Roy Lichtenstein’s work is built on mathematical models.


• Roy Lichtenstein’s work shows the influence of jazz..


• Roy Lichtenstein’s work is a reaction to Picasso.

I cannot give you help with a conclusion unless I know what your thesis is. A biography is an extended essay, so it is organized like an essay. Everything in the essay focuses on the thesis statement.

In an essay, the introduction narrows down to the thesis statement. Use this link to locate information about the introduction.

A conclusion paragraph is organized in the opposite way: it starts narrowly from the thesis and broadens to bigger ideas. Here is a link to information about the conclusion.

An essay in which you assert that Roy Lichtenstein is a humorist would have a very different introduction and conclusion than one in which you assert that Roy Lichtenstein’s work is built on mathematical models.

If you wish to come back to the forum with a thesis statement and a copy of your introductory paragraph, I would be glad to give you more specific essay help.

I corrected your spelling and punctuation in your posting and made it fit the submission requirements. In your biography you will, of course, spell your subject’s name correctly (Roy Lichtenstein not roy litchtenstein) and begin your sentences with capital letters and end them with periods, won’t you?
