It doesn't work because on IE, your img has a background of img. Gif . The background-image is well rounded.
But as it's a img tag, it also has a (square) image in it, displayed over the background. So even if your background is rounded, the image inside is not.
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.
