Sure, there are ways - just nothing built-in. Many C utility libraries have functions for this - eg, glib's g_strjoinv . You can also roll your own, for example.
For example there is such a function in GLib: g_strjoin and g_strjoinv. Probably any bigger library has such functions.
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.
