There are many tear jerking movies I have watched in my life, but I cannot cry more than when I watch 1 Litre of Tears. It is actually a title of drama series from Japan. It depicts a life of Ikeuchi Aya, a teenage girl who suffers from Spinocerebellar Degeneration, an illness which makes human's motoric nerves go down, which is resulting in slowly paralyzed body, even though the brain is still in good function.
I cannot stop crying when I see her struggling with her disease, how she cannot accept the fact at first but then becomes more sincere to receive her condition. It is also tells about the tight bond she shares with her family and how her illness affects the lives around her. It has an extended movie version which tells about the condition after she.... Well, I won't tell you more.
You'd better watch it and please prepare bunch of tissue to wipe your tears. At last, the drama and film are so inspiring. "Just being alive is such a wonderful thing" is what I can take from them.
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.
