Occasionally shrimp and betta can get along, but it's much more likely that the shrimp will end up being picked at and bullied and eaten. A more reliable option would be snails. Nerite snails have a lot of neat patterns and colors!
I have two in my 5gal with my betta. If you really want to go with shrimp though, 5 would be 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.
