You're making the common mistake of assuming that the characters method will be called only once between a pair of startElement and endElement calls from the parser and supply the entore content between the start and end tags. It can actually be called many times, and each call contains only part of the content.
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.
