Well you could call him on his office phone, or cell phone,or make a call to him/her in person That is how most people are called, do you have another way that you call people. Maybe you call out to them by yelling?
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.
