Accolades are just little electronic medals, they mean nothing. There would be a lot less accolades if HPs started to not count cut and paste answers, or take a firm hand against hubbers who find an answer on Wiki, etc and just paste it into the answer or hub comment section.
There you are..! I would assume that the admin never lets you know this, just keep doing what you are doing.. Just don't overdo for the sake of accolades!
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.
