Beowulf Paragraph
Are there different Christ-Like figures in our world? Beowulf is a Christ-like figure in the book Beowulf. To the people, he is an auspicious and singular person. Everyone believes in his aptitude to be great and to defeat the Lady Monster. Being a Christ-like figure means being impervious, and erudite. There are many examples where Beowulf serves as a figure to the people in the society. When Beowulf goes off to defeat Grendel's mom, the people were waiting for him to return, and when he didn't return for a while the people lost faith in Beowulf. When Beowulf came back the people were overly joyed at his return. He was praised. To the people he has a certain affinity about him. They look up to him and take into consideration the ideas he has to offer. They go to Beowulf for support. Beowulf is a great example of a Christ-like figure.

I think a rhetorical question is a way to vary paragraph; however, some professors might view it as weak when you're doing argumentative/position paragraph because it doesn't sound as certain; Nice and correct incorporation of all of your vocabulary words; The comma between impervious and erudite isn't needed; An affinity for what? If you're going to compare Beowulf to Christ, I would like you incorporate examples of Jesus doing or not doing what people does; Just explain it out a bit more; After 'when Beowulf came back', put a comma; Rephrase 'he has praised' and connect it to your last sentence 'praising Beowulf's return'
