How do you restate a thesis statement to a conclusion paragraph?

Your thesis statement, which tells what your paper will prove or demonstrate, usually occurs in the first paragraph of the paper and introduces the topic. The body of your paper will then be used to show the research you have gathered and explain whatever central point you are trying to make in your paper. At the end, in the conclusion, you have a chance to reiterate (re-state) what you said in the introduction, except now, hopefully, you have proved your point, so you can use the final paragraph to sum up (rather than introduce) what you have shown during the previous pages or paragraphs of your essay.
