-Let $A$ be an object of a category $\ca{C}$.
-Show that $\hom{\ca{C}}{A}{A}$ is a monoid under composition.
+Show that $\End{\ca{C}}{A}$ is a monoid under composition, where $A$ is an object of a category $\ca{C}$.
 
 <div class="proof">
+$\circ$ is associative and total on $\End{\ca{C}}{A}$ by the definition of category and $\End{\ca{C}}{A}$ is obviously closed under $\circ$.
 
+$\idarr{A}$ is required to exist by the definition of category and indeed an identity of $\circ$ on $\End{\ca{C}}{A}$.

+Each monoid $(M, \cdot)$ is a category ([again](./1.1.md)).

+We construct a category with exactly one object $\ast$ and associate to every element $m \in M$ an arrow $\arr{\ast}{m}{\ast}$.
