HW: 27 Annotated Baghdad

Riverbend, “Baghdad Burning: girl blog from Iraq”. New York, NY: The Feminist Press at the City University of New York, 2005. This blog is a diary of a twenty four year old, Iraqi, girl who needs a place to rant about the war. She talks about political issues, what everyday life is when there is a war going on in country, and information that Americans do not know about what is going on in Iraq. The twenty four year old girl doesn’t go by here real name but she goes by Riverbend and she talks about issues of the war that she is tired of. It is nice to have a first hand view of what is really going on in the war. People like reading her blog because she gives more information that the government doesn’t want the American citizen to know. Riverbend needs to be careful because she is telling bloggers and or people who like to read this information, that her government or the United States government probably would not want to be disclosed. This is a great resource for anyone who wants to know what really is going on in the war.
