Where did the heart shape (<3) come from and why is it called a heart?

Nobody's quite sure, but it might have to do with a North African plant. During the seventh century B.C., the city-state of Cyrene * had a lucrative trade in a rare, now-extinct plant: silphium. Although it wasmostly used for seasoning, silphium was reputed to have an off-label use as a form of birth control.

The silphium was so important to Cyrene's economy that coins were minted that depicted the plant's seedpod, which looks like the heart shape we know today. The theory goes that the heart shape first became associated with sex, and eventually, with love.

A heart resembles the silhouette of two people facing each other, or kissing. The heart is also the shape of a woman's top: two boobs and tapering waist; this is all an infant can see (babies are nearsighted) when drinking their first taste of mother's milk.

Not at all. There are lots of misshapen kiwi fruit.

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.
