Sentence 1: reframe or revise your thesis
Often times asking a bigger, essential question is a good way to jump start the conclusion
Sentences 2 and 3: answer the essential question with details from the book
Sentence 4: address the universal message as it relates to the essay prompt of the novel
Sample:
Does Alfred really change by the end of the book? After all, he has not risen to be any sort of champion, and it is not clear whether he will even continue boxing because he lacks the killer instinct to enjoy beating people. Nonetheless, Alfred has come a long way from the teenager with little confidence getting beaten up by his "friends." By novel's end, he not only can stand up for himself against a bully like Major, but he also has the self-discipline to train for a fight and win. He may not be a contender to become champion of the world, but he is a much better person, one who can hold a job, improve his life, and stay out of trouble.
