CLINCHER: In any essay, it is essential to both begin and end on a strong note so your audience understands the importance
of your topic. A clincher in an essay is the literary or narrational device you use to cement your readers’ attention at the
end of your essay and keep them hooked even after they're done reading; it is nearly always included in the conclusion.
