Yes I think you should because an eyepatch attracts less attention than a black eye. I wear an eyepatch for 6 hours every day due to a lazy and people barely notice.
No do not wear a eye patch. Better for people to just see the black eye. Or since your a girl cover it with makeup.
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.
