The best time to visit Portland Oregon is probably during the summer months, they are July, August and September. The rest of the year any visitor should expect rain. The local visitor's bureau will tell that it rains about 36 inches a year in Portland, interestingly enough the numbers is less than in Houston or Seattle, but the statistics may fool a tourist.
The Pacific Northwest rain comes down a little at a time, it will spread over many months. Thus to carry an umbrella is always a good idea, or to do what the locals do and use a cap or wear a jacket with a hood. Nevertheless and despite the high probability of rainy days December is a good time to visit Portland too, because that is the time when the city’s downtown is full of holiday decorations.

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.
