Using this technique brings the essay or any piece of writing full circle. This is especially important when you wan to stress a specific thing. Also this kind of framing technique is used to generate a stronger impact as the the opening quotation or an anecdote by the end will have a different meaning or would have a stronger impact because its idea has been debated during the essay.
