what is the purpose of a conclusion paragraph?

The purpose of a conclusion paragraph is to "sum up your whole essay, or argument in one paragraph." Conclusion paragraphs usually consist of facts that you have already stated in your body paragraphs. Your final claim (which side of the argument you are on) and your counterclaim (the opposite side you are on) if you are writing a argument essay.
