She's not logically thinking about the greater good, but what she wants and it's him. She's only kidding herself because he's a male whore and all he's looking to do is hold on to his money, have a place to live, easy sex and your friend refuses to see it as it really is. But since she's only 1 and there are all allot of others in the same situation do to his/their carelessness, she'll not be as happy as she thinks she'll be because the happy life she wants won't happen with all the other women/children he has.
Tell her to find a hero and lose the zero! Good luck.
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.
