HW 27: Annotated bibliography

Riverbend. Baghdad Burning. New York: The Feminist Press at the City University of New York, 2005.



The book Baghdad Burning, is a book written in blogs by an Iraqi girl names Riverbend. The purpose of it was a way that she was able to express her feelings and the differnet things that she went through while her time during the war. Readers are able to use her blogs as a source to find out information and updates on her life and things going on around her. This book of Riverbend's blogs fit into our current course because in our course we discuss the huge impact that blogs have on people and the fact that they are literally in with people around the world. Because people used her blogs as a source, it just really shows how intact people are with blogs that they are watching and how much they inform people. This book shows us things from someone's point of veiw and the things they expressed, it allows you to put yourself in someone elses's shoes. I think it will be a very interesting read because I am going to be ale to continuously look at something through someone else's eyes and see the world the way that they viewed it.
