Well you don't say if the laptop was brand new so anybody that gives you an answer will be stupid that is sense!
There is a program that is consuming your processor power, check task manager and look under the process tab and you will see the program. If the process is not important you can end it by right clicking and choose end process, and your computer will be fast.
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.
