John Travolta As Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever (1977), Danny Zuko in Grease (1978) and then again reprising his struggling dancer role in the Sylvester Stallone directed sequel of Staying Alive (1983), Travolta employed his naturally athletic physique and trained so hard it allowed him to be one of the most dynamic dancers captured on film in history. More recently in Hairspray (2007), Travolta took to the dance floor again, this time in drag as buxom overprotective Mother Edna Turnblad. Travolta could agree to some advertising profits of the show be donated to charity - perhaps even his own Church of Scientology?
Kevin Bacon Footloose (1987) remains one of the most feel good movie musicals of the past few decades. It's a musical about dance or about kids loving dance so much their repressive religious townsfolk forbid it, or something like that. Whatever the core message of Footloose is, Kevin Bacon learned some wicked dance moves and his feet were indeed quite loose.
Jennifer Beals Flashdance (1983) was an unlikely music video style smash hit movie mixing dance and pop tunes with oodles of modern dancing, including the then new street moves of break dancing. Star Jennifer Beals played Alex, a tough welder by day, exotic club dancer by night and aspiring classic dancer, based loosely on a real person Maureen Marder, from Toronto. Curiously enough, Beals didn't do most any of her dancing in the film.
Her double for nearly all of it was the professional dancer Marine Jahan. Joining up Dancing With The Stars would give Beals some exposure to a new generation, while finally proving once and for all if she could go out there and be a maniac on the dance floor. Patrick Swayze Dirty Dancing (1987) saw Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey co-star in a low budget movie which became a major blockbuster - spawning two multi-platinum soundtracks, a sequel and a stage show now headed for Broadway.In 2008, Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and the graceful dancer, actor and singer has put up a valiant fight and seems to be prevailing so far.
How wonderful it would be to see Swayze come and join the Dancing With The Stars fun. A bonus addition to the cast of course would also be his co-star Jennifer Grey. Baby and Johnny Castle tearing up the dance floor again?

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.
