You should put the operation on an NSOperationQueue instead.
My guess is: dispatch_async does what it says, it makes the following stuff run async. You queue your selector, then the block is finished and the whole async thing goes away. Including the queued selector, of course.
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.
