Find a table and ask if you can sit there. That is all you can do. If you meet people in class before lunch (this is the best option) ask them when their lunch period is and if they want to sit together at lunch.
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.
