"Abstracts"

I guess we could apply this section on abstracts, from the Rhetoric of Inquiry, to our conclusions for this iSearch paper.  I have a hard time visualizing or planning out my conclusion before I write it, but I guess we could either write a conclusion based off of the problem that we researched, our research findings, what we conclude from our research, and how the topic is applicable or how it effects our world and everyone in it.  Or, we could write a conclusion based on the central argument, then the main supporting arguments without reporting the specific data, and end with how the topic is applicable or how it effects our world.  We would also add in if there needs to be more research done on this topic at the end and include the main sources that we used in the paper.
I am not so sure how this is helpful to us right now.  I would understand more if we were publishing this paper, but I do not have any intentions of doing any such thing, so I am not quite sure I see the point.  I am guessing it is good practice for maybe something else we will be doing in the future...I am sure Mr. Bevill will answer all of my questions in class on Friday.
