I believe the larger pumpkin, the better. If you are a beginner at carving pumpkins it can get hard to carve details out on smaller pumpkins. We usually get medium to large size pumpkins for carving.
I seen something really cute on Martha Stewart, instead of carving the pumpkins, she layered one side with glue and added glitter, then let it dry completely. Then do the same on the opposite side. They looked really pretty.
For that idea you should use small pumpkins!
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.
