<p>is a one sentence conclusion okay? I think it ends the essay nicely but just the idea behind a one sentence conclusion is it bad?</p>
<p>in an analytical essay, yes. for a college essay, not necessarily. essays for admissions don't have real style rules; they leave you to do whatever you think is the most effective. if you think a one sentence conclusion sums up your essay well and is the best ending you can come up with, then keep it.</p>
