Well I Can't say I am rooting for either team even though San Francisco Knocked the Braves out of the Play-offs dose not mean that I hate them. Just means that they were better when it mattered most. I can't say I am going for the Rangers even know there my top 5 teams in baseball.
I can't root for them because Just because there a Cinderella team in the AL. But I would love to see the Giants win only because there in the AL I love the Rangers but just can't pick them for my own reasons.
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.
