This is just another way of initializing your array of structs. Yes, the elements given in your intializer are in the order that the struct was defined in. So first you have the char* (string essentially) and then the int.
Then you have the next structure, with the same pattern.
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.
