Conclusion (book)

In a non-fiction book, a conclusion is an ending section which states the concluding ideas and concepts of the preceding writing.^[1] This generally follows the body or perhaps an afterword, and the conclusion may be followed by an epilogue, outro, postscript, appendix/addendum, glossary, bibliography, index, errata, or a colophon. Aristotle, in The Rhetoric, tells us a good writer should do this in the conclusion: "make the audience well-disposed towards ourselves and ill-disposed to our opponent."^{[citation needed]}
