If you didn't steal that money, stand your ground. His roomie probably knows you'd be accused, and is relying on that. Maybe he thinks it would be a good way to break you two up.
Of course he'll deny stealing the money. Your romance with this boyfriend is probably finished. Even if the money should turn up on the floor or in his pants pocket, the accusations and recriminations would poison your relationship ever afterward.
So there's no point whatever in trying to placate him by paying him two hundred bucks. He'd probably figure it was an admission of guilt and lying, anyway, rather than an attempt to help him out of a financial bind.
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.
