If you didn't recieve the stimulus from last year and you are eligible this year, that is probably why there was an extra $300.(i.e. If you hadn't filed a return for 2007) On the 1040X I would just put the correct income instead of last years. I hope that helps... more.
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.
