Firstly, the small thing that is preventing you code from working is the value your are passing to the function. For a select element this. Value will not work.
Instead, you need to use this.optionsthis.selectedIndex. Value . Like so.
This code not worknig as all this is main. Php file.
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.
