We Alone by Alice Walker?
We alone can devalue gold by not caring if it falls or rises in the marketplace Wherever there is gold there is a chain, you know and if your chain is gold so much the worse for you Feathers, shells and sea-shaped stones are all as rare This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what is scarce.
Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful: PoemsAlice Walker 3 Rezensionenhttp://books.google.de/books/about/Horses_Make_... Road, 22.11.2011 - 96 SeitenIn Alice Walker’s fourth collection of poetry, simple observations from a life well lived balance an unflinching examination of critical global worries The title of this collection comes from a Native American shaman who, reflecting on the terrible problems brought by white colonizers, nearly forgave them all because with the settlers came horses to the North American Plains. And, indeed, in these poems we find Alice Walker seeking a saving grace even in the most difficult circumstances, and in the hearts of the most brutal oppressors. Here Walker’s attention turns toward the small moments and subliminal exchanges between lovers and enemies, even as her verse addresses concerns as vast as the choking of the planet by war and pollution.

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.
