I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but if you know what they're called when they're cut like that I would suggest googling it and finding a picture of it, then drawing where you want it cut with a pencil and cutting it there.
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.
