You NEVER "need" toi give two weeks notice. That is done simply out of politeness and respect for your employer. If you WANT to, then do it.
They will respect you. But McDonalds gets HUNDREDS of people who simply don;t show up for work. That is the BAD thing do.
Talk to your manager and give ONE week notice.
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.
