575 Words3 Pages

The article I chose to relate to, Three Cups of Tea and Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is “‘Death Road’ stands in way of crucial aid to eastern Aleppo” by Faith Karimi. The article is about how after Syria 's ceasefire, “residents trapped in Aleppo eagerly await crucial aid supplies after months cut off from the rest of the world,” (1). US and Russia are accusing each other for the ceasefire violations. Aleppo has been under constant bombardment and the people of the city need food and medical supplies but, the only route available right now to get to the Eastern side of Aleppo is basically blocked. The ‘Death Road’ is the nickname for Castello Road (only way into Aleppo for now), it is horrifying throughout the street there are wrecked cars and truck, bombed-out buildings and “at every moment you felt like you would get hit by a bomb or a missile or a bullet,” (3).

In Three Cups of Tea, there was a gunfight and Greg was at one point caught in the middle of it, at ‘Death Road’ there are also gunfights that kill innocent people that are just trying to survive. This also violates Article 5 of the UDHR, gunfights most likely will kill innocent people that did not deserve to die that way. Dr. Samer Attar said that while going through ‘Death Road’ it “felt like you would get hit by a… bullet,” (3). The people at ‘Death Road’ are terrified just by being there, and some people get killed this is cruelty to the people of Aleppo which violates Article 5 of the UDHR. No human should ever deserve to go through what the city of Aleppo is going through, both the novel Three Cups of Tea and the article “‘Death Road’ stands in way of crucial aid to eastern Aleppo” are similar because they violate Article 5 of the

Throughout the middle of the 17th century, the relationship between Great Britain and her American colonies was plagued by stresses. Both the Stamp Act, passed in 1765, and the Tea Act, enacted in 1773, caused colonists great ire towards the British due to feelings of unfair taxation. As a response to the Tea Act, colonists in Boston ruined thousands of pounds of tea by pouring it into the Boston harbor (History.com). Earlier, Benjamin Franklin had attempted to get all of the colonies to meet together, but they had abstained (U-s-history.com). After the Tea Party, however, the Coercive Acts were put into place by Parliament, urging the colonists to greater action, causing them to assemble the 1st Continental Congress (History.com).
