spurring what the United Nations has called the fastest-growing refugee crisis since
World War II. (Bilefsky, Dan, et al. “The Roots of the Ukraine War: How the crisis
developed.” The New York Times, 10 Jan. 2022, https://www.nytimes.com/article/russia-

Explain how this information supports your essay.

1) This piece of evidence shows the number of people who moved out of Ukraine due to
the ongoing war with Russia, are seeking help. The evidence mentions the fast moving
refugees in less than 2 weeks and how it has been the fastest- growing refugee crisis
since WWII which stands as evidence to people losing their right to live peacefully and
freely.
2) This piece of evidence mentions the number of people who died in a recent bombing
which is parallel to my novel too. It stands as evidence as it talks about people losing
their lives against their will which is the same as taking their right to live. Their right to
live is being snatched from them which supports the main idea, the main topic of my
essay.

Explain how this information supports your essay.

This information shows the different reasons people use to take one’s life. It shows the
circumstances that causes one’s right to live to be taken away from them. It shows how a
minority’s fault causes the majority’s lives to be taken away from them without mercy. It shows
the human rights issue that goes on in America. It supports my essay as it serves as evidence
to the human rights issue I chose- the right to live.

1) “…and Mr. Tanimoto, like all his neighbors and friends, was almost sick with anxiety. Had
had heard uncomfortably detailed accounts of mass raid on Kure, Iwakuni, Tokuyama, and
other nearby towns; he was sure Hiroshima’s turn would come soon. He had slept badly the
night before, because there had been several air-raid warnings.” (Hersey, J. Hiroshima. New
York, A.A. Knopf 1946.).
2) “Dr. Fujii hardly had time to think that he was dying before he realized that he was alive,
squeezed tightly by two long timbers in a V across his chest, like a morsel suspended
between two huge chop-sticks-held upright, so that he could not move, with his head
miraculously above water and his torso and legs in it the remains lumber and materials for
the relief of pain.” (Hersey, J. Hiroshima. New York, A.A. Knopf 1946.).

Explain how this information supports your essay.

These piece of texts show how much the victims had to go through when the bombing
happened. They are stressed about the situation and are striving to survive the unavoidable
situation that was going to take place. It supports my essay as it mentions people trying hard to
live while other’s right to live was taken away from them by the bombing.
