I'm not familiar with programming using Lua. However, I managed to find some information if it possible to send Twitter updates using Lua. Upon reviewing the wiki, the Twitter API is HTTP based apiwiki.twitter.com/Things-Every-Develop... LuaSocket is Lua extension library that has support modules for FTP, SMTP and HTTP.
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/professional/luasocket/ Therefore, using Lua with LuaSocket an HTTP communication can be established. IT-Box has an information on how to get tweets from your twitter home. http://it-box.blogturk.net/2009/01/08/how-to-hack-twitter-with-a-few-lines-of-lua-code/ With a little bit of reverse engineering, you might be able to post too.
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.
