I encourage you to look at Boost.IOStreams. It seems to fit your use-case nicely, and using it is surprisingly simple.
I think you want to pull the text from the ostream while it's not empty. You could do 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.
