Write a brief but formal essay including an introductory paragraph with a thesis, a body of two or three paragraphs that support or explore the thesis, and a conclusion which restates the thesis. Below is the prompt. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Students have studied the lives of several founders: Moses and Abraham for Judaism, Jesus for Christianity, Muhammad for Islam, Vardhamana or the Mahavira for Jainism, Siddhartha Gautama or the Buddha for Buddhism, and Guru Nanak for Sikhism. What, if anything, do these founders have in common? What differentiates these founders from one another? Do they all acquire special titles? Are the all involved in or attached to miracle stories? Do they all have charisma? Do they have rather unconventional family lives? Do they show signs of experiencing mid-life crises?
