Riverbend. Foreword by Ahdaf Souief; Introduction by James Ridgeway. Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog From Iraq. New York: The Feminist Press, 2005.
This book is about a female blogger, Riverbend, who writes about her experiences in Iraq during the war. This book fits into my work in the course because my class is about blogging and Riverbend blogged all her experiences. Also this book is something that anyone who cares about the war in Iraq should read. I feel that I should definitely read this book because my country is at war with Iraq now and I should know more about what is going on. Riverbend lives in Iraq and shares her story of the war with her readers. Anyone who reads this book will get a better understanding of what’s going on in Iraq and what it is like to live their during a war. This book challenges the reader’s knowledge on the war because some people might think they know a lot about what’s going on in Iraq, but then after hearing Riverbends experience, will learn a lot more. Also the reader can learn a lot more from reading this book then any other media source. She shares her story with the reader and tells about how her life completely changed from the war.
