I can't answer specifically about Google, but I do know PayPal does that when you first sign up. My guess is Google does the same thing. It's a way to verify that you supplied them with the correct account number.
If you make a typo and they can't deposit the money, they'll email you and ask you to check the account number you provided.
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.
