How to properly alloc/dealloc this pointer? objective-c?

You are not allowed to use super dealloc in ARC. So if that compiles, you are not using ARC and you need cals to retain and release . Writing a whole tutorial on that is not something that will fit in a stack overflow answer.

As for your other questions.

As borrden mentioned, retain/release and objective-c memory management is a considerably large topic, one that has been extensively dealt with. I'd recommend reading this to get started and do some more research from there.

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.
