Below you will find an example of an intro and a conclusion. These are on two different topics, but I assume that the structure will give you some direction.
Intro
Archetypes appear in every piece of literature. They equip readers with a filter through which they can pass texts for better understanding. The more experience a one has with stories, the better equipped he/she is to analyze characters in novels. In Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, the incorporation of fairytale archetypes give the reader a pretext for better understanding why Gatsby's dream must fail.
Conclusion
Fitzgearald teaches the reader that the American dream a consuming disease. There is never an end to the dream because the dreamer always wants to add to it. Gatsby's dream was not to have Daisy. His original grail was to be wealthy; she was the embodiment of that wealth. He assumed he could win her over with shiny luxuries, but he did not realize that he (the Cinderella figure) was the one calling Daisy (the Prince figure) down from her royal palace to his peasant's home. No matter how much he decked out his house in purple velvet or Victorian furniture, he still remained a lower class citizen. He planned every moment around his grail. Every party, every bulb in his house, and every stitch on his clothing was all for Daisy. This selfish trap to lure her in to had her to his collection was just a consuming dream, and to this dream he was faithful to the end.
