I am not going to go into the rhetoric of what the other people said about how you can not buy a plane ticket 15 months in advance. Which they are all CORRECT about, But NO hotel will rent to a minor, because you can not legally sign a contract which renting a hotel room essentially is. It is hard enough to find a hotel that will rent to an 18 year old as it is!
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.
