So the basic problem is you failed to honor the paint chain. You must call super. PaintXxx when ever you override on the paint methods...
MadProgrammer has already answered this question (+1 to him). In most overriden methods there are calls to their super do not forget to honor this or else these small hiccups begin to surface.
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.
