I don't think you need to know the failed count with the calculation you're trying to use.
These are called before and after a task is executed. The after execute method even supplies a throwable as a second argument, so you know when a task has failed.
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.
