Yes she could possibly , but her parents may have been telling her that when she was a kid just because they didn't like cats or didn't want her to have one , if she claims to have major allergic reactions , I wouldn't test it . If she dosent , then try it and she might just need to wash her hands after touching or being around them . :).
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.
