Cornell offers campus tours to prospective students. The walking tours are organized by the Information and Referral Center of the Ithaca campus. There are different tour schedules for different time of the year.
The tours are usually done to give people (mostly students) an informative and grand introduction into the school. Students will get to know more about the history of the school, the life as a Cornell student and other services and projects that are offered by the school. Apart from the regular campus tour, there is a Freshman Experience Tour which is specially organized for already admitted prospective students.
This tour takes about an hour and begins from Day Hall and ends on North Campus. The next schedule for the regular campus tour is November 13, 2010 through March 27, 2011 and March 28 through November 30, 2011, while the Freshman Experience Tour is offered weekdays except Sundays. Be aware that Tours will not be offered on some break periods.

.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.
