Why is instance member static in singleton class?

The 'instance' field holds the reference of the one and only instance.

Because you are referencing the variable inside a static Property (Instance) and you can't reference instance variables inside static methods or properties.

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.
