The best pre-paid mobile I could find was Net 10. They have phones from $30 to $100. You can check their web site for coverage details.
Nationwide calling is 10 cents a minute, messaging is 5 cents. You get voice-mail and other features too. You do need to add minutes periodically to stay active.
Net10 phones and cards are available at major office supply stores Wal-Mart and reconditioned phones are available at Big Lots.
I got my first mobile when I was 12 and the network it was on was Orange. I stayed with Orange until the beginning of this year and it's the only mobile network I can truthfully reccommend and know that they won't mess you around. I use 3 now, but it's nowhere near as good :(.
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.
