Hi Miss Sue. I'm still a little confused. How can I start off my paragraphs on how I see the Holy Spirit working through those 5?
Since you're still addressing me even though I've already told you that I'm not a Christian, I'll give you my answer.
The Holy Spirit does not exist; it is a myth. Therefore, when people treat others well, they are doing it to reflect their beliefs in helping others. This comes from their sense of duty and ethics. Religion has no part in it.
Drew, you must go with what you've been taught, what you believe, and the directions your teacher has given you ... as Ms. Sue told you earlier, twice.

Matthew 7:16-20King James Version (KJV)
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Hello! To start off your paragraphs on how you see the Holy Spirit working through those 5, you can follow a few simple steps:
1. Understand the topic: Make sure you have a clear understanding of the Holy Spirit and its role in Christianity. This will help you articulate your thoughts effectively.
2. Identify the 5 individuals: Determine who the 5 individuals are that you want to discuss. It is important to choose individuals who have demonstrated a connection to the Holy Spirit in some way.
3. Research: Gather information about each individual, focusing on any instances or examples that highlight how the Holy Spirit has worked through them. Look for specific actions, teachings, or experiences that reflect the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
4. Organize your ideas: Create an outline or a mental map to organize your thoughts. Identify key points for each individual that illustrate the Holy Spirit's influence. Consider categorizing them by theme or similarity to create a coherent flow in your paragraphs.
5. Start with a strong topic sentence: Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence that introduces the individual and briefly states your perspective on how the Holy Spirit works through them. This sentence should grab the reader's attention and set the tone for the rest of the paragraph.
6. Provide supporting evidence: In the body of your paragraph, delve into specific examples or instances that support your claim. Use evidence from your research to explain how the Holy Spirit has manifested itself through the actions, teachings, or experiences of the individual.
7. Expand and explain: Elaborate on your examples and explain the impact or significance of each one. Connect the dots between the individual's actions and the work of the Holy Spirit. Use your own insights and interpretations to bring depth to your analysis.
8. Transition to the next paragraph: Conclude each paragraph by summarizing your main ideas and briefly connecting them to the next individual you will discuss. This will create a smooth transition and ensure a cohesive flow throughout your writing.
Remember, practice makes perfect! The more you engage in critical thinking and analysis, the better you'll become at articulating how you see the Holy Spirit working through different individuals.
