It is not that they behave differently, but that almost always when you add a control declaratively you set the ID right away. Try adding a label with no ID to a page and browse the control collection and check its ID, it will be null (make sure not to show its clientID since it would get the ID filled).
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.
