No, not at all. It's totally pointless to be called a hero if you're sponsored. LOL I mean, Rizal belonged to a rich family and he's so educated, he could kill anyone just by writing...He's a wanderer, too.
He went to a lot of places and countries. He had it all. He was an elite genius though he lived under the frailty of Spanish regime.
He was much attached to the Western world and I never recall him with much involvement with the Americans so I don't think he's much connected with the Americans. It's a very interesting question though. ;).
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.
