If the elements aren't sorted, then you can't do a binary search. But binary search is so much faster than linear search (you'd need to look at an average of 10 elements rather than 500) that you'd be best sorting your list (using an algorithm such as quicksort) and then doing a binary search.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
