The output is correct. You are writing binary data, but you are trying to see them as ASCII, that's why you see for example } instead of 125 because the one byte 125 represents } in ASCII. 125 would take 3 bytes to show as ASCII.
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.
