I think of a barren, highly-cratered world, devoid of life, and far less interesting than I had hoped before the Mercury MESSENGER mission arrived there, despite the initial findings of the Mariner flybys. And, of course, silvery blobs of molten metal handy for making liquid-mirror telescopes (as well as for putting in the shoes of people you don't like, not that I would ever do such a thing), and also a little fellow with wings on his ankles and a funny hat.
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.
