What you missed in your example was the tag name, it supposed to be "view" (first non-capital) not "View". Although you can put your class name as the tag name most of the time, it's impossible to do that if your class is inner class, because "$" symbol, which is used in Java to reference inner classes is restricted in XML tags. So, if you want to use inner class in your XML you should write like this.
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.
