Okay finally got something clean and simple which requires no new implicits, though this is sort of inefficient since it converts away from array to Seq just so it can convert back again. Or you can use one implicit to stay with arrays.
An important part of your problem is that Array is implicitely convertible to Seq, but isnot a Seq (defined in the JVM, too late to add ancestors now).
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.
