Speak with the lawyers assistant or paralegal and find out the status of your claim. If they will not tell you, drop by and try one more time. If they still won't tell you, ask for your file back and go get a new lawyer.
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.
