I only know the story of the dumb frog and the smart frog Both got trapped in a vat of cream the smart frog, like our atheist friends thought he knew it all, and he knew he was dead so he gave up and sank to the bottom. The dumb from didn't believe he was with hope so he kept churning his legs to keep afloat, after a while he had churned himself up a pad of butter, which he floated on until the vat was opened....then he jumped out.
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.
