It's ironic, because I absolutely love love LOVE to watch horror movies...but there is something that freaks me out about zombie movies! The notion of people coming after you just to eat your flesh creeps me out...and I usually can't get creeped out. On a more positive note, however, the only zombie movie (so far) that I like is Shaun of the Dead...hysterical!
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.
