Dear Professor Anderson,
I have chosen to write about the similarities between Christianity and Buddhism. I found it interesting because they are one of the oldest religions in the world.   The works I chose for these topics are “The Jataka Tales: The Hare’s self-sacrifice” and “The Christian Bible: Matthew 5. Because religion is one of the most discussed topic in the world, I believe my essay will have a strong thesis. My strengths will be the amount of information available to support my essay. My weakness will be deciding the appropriate amount of information to be used in this essay and the area with the most trouble would be the content inside the paragraph. I would like to have feedback on my paragraphs and content.

This is more of a generalization between the two religions.
