Souls, ghosts and stories, sentence 5
Stories and cartoons give us pictures, floating spirits, dead girls turning into angels, but in Christian teaching people do not become angels: angels are a different kind of being, and people stay themselves with God.
Who acts: Stories, dead girls, people, angels · What happens: give, float, turn, not become, be, stay · To what, where: pictures, us, angels, Christian teaching, different kind, people
