Is the scene along the 'Salt Marsh' based on Oyster Pond?

No. It is actually a view of Mill Pond -- slightly north of the landing at Eliphamets Lane. There are fewer (and smaller) homes represented in the scene to approximate the view one might have found in 1935.

More.

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.
