Are you kidding! Not sure how old you guys are -- but you may need to show up at her door w/ your father and just go get the dress -- no more "asking" -- just go get it back! This is the rudest thing I've ever heard!
Was this a CLOSE friend or just some girl you kinda knew, because it really sounds like she's trying to just take your dress and keep it!
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.
