MVC: Controller keeps array of model objects or view objects?

You should really focus on an ObserverPattern. Yours views register to "notifications", and when changes are made, your registered views are notified.

Well basvk got the answer in his comment but hasn't posted an actual answer for me to mark correct.

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.
