What is the difference between Linq to XML Descendants and Elements?

Elements finds only those elements that are direct descendents, i.e. Immediate children.

Descendants will search the entire subtree of the current element for the specified name (or will return a flattened version of the tree if no name is provided), whereas Elements searches only the immediate children of the current element.

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.
