i am having trouble creating a concluding sentence(s) and expanding my thought in my analysis sentences. my first analysis sentence explains in further detail about the evidence and my second analysis sentence explains how my evidence supports my claim. i would love it if someone could give me some steps and/or tips when wrapping up an essay. this is my essay so far:

the wondrous winter season is a time of the year that causes people to express various emotions. the three poems listed emphasize the different aspects of winter: the biting cold, the magnificent beauty of the cold, and the brilliant preparations animals and people do for this purpose. robert service's narrative poem, "the cremation of sam mcgee," depicts harsh and chilly weather to convey an experience of winter to his readers. portraying the unpleasant feeling of the striking cold, service uses the personification “the cursed cold [has] got right hold” and the hyperbole “chilled clean through the bone”(line 22). service gives the cold weather human attributes so the reader could fear for the harm it can cause. he exaggerates about the power of the cold and forces the reader into experiencing a nasty cold piercing through a thick layer of skin. in james stephens lyric poem, “washed in silver,” the natural scene of hills near the ocean is revealed as a winter wonderland. stephens uses the metaphor “gleaming in silver are the hills! ” and the onomatopoeia “blazing in silver is the sea! ” to describe the powerful light the moon shines while radiating on the crystalline snow(lines 1-2). stephens compares the beautiful color, silver, to snowy hills radiated from the shine of the moon by showing the reader how glorious the winter can be. the onomatopoeia gives the reader a sight of the power moon and winter can generate. lastly, in nikki giovanni’s lyric poem, “winter,” pictures of animals and people getting ready for the frosty weather is shown to express the importance of preparation. the imagery “frogs [burrowing] the mud” and “mothers [making] oatmeal” giovanni uses shows how some animals and people warm up from the frosty weather(lines 1 and 6). giovanni chooses imagery to demonstrate the similarities of humans and animals regarding warming up for winter in different ways. animals burrow themselves for when the land above freezes and people would eat warm meals to maintain a cozy feel for when the atmosphere beings to bitter.
