I ended up adding require( '/var/www/wordpress/wp-load. Php' ) in the Yii's index. Php file just before the initialization code.
Then I was able to use all WordPress functions in my project. This helped me reuse the header and footer layout from WordPress in Yii using the get_header() and get_footer() functions.
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.
