Sounds like what you want is a strongly-typed ViewUserControl for each "entity." This is basically how I've implemented widgets in a project I'm working on. Each widget has it's own widget model and a partial view (ViewUserControl) strongly-typed to that model.
The widget uses the model's properties to render a view of that widget.
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.
