Well, since you haven't shown us any sample XML, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it is not likely the description is in an attribute. You've used the syntax to extract 'name' and 'description' attributes from the 'job' element. If instead they are nested elements you want something like this.
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.
