What is the approximate shape of the Milky Way?

Our home galaxy is thought to be the classic spiral shape which is the most common. We cannot, however, be totally sure about this as we can only see the Milky Way edge on. In about three-billion years the Milky Way will collide with Andromeda: a galaxy (sometimes called, 'The Great Attractor') much bigger than our own.

This collision will result in the merged galaxies becoming one massive ellipse.

Commonly referred to as just the Milky Way, or sometimes simply as the Galaxy, is the home galaxy of the Solar System, and of Earth. It is a barred spiral galaxy that contains 100-400 billion stars and an estimated 50 billion planets, 500 million of which could be located in the habitable zone of their parent star.

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.
