HW33: Baghdad Burning..
Riverbend. Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog From Iraq. New York: The Feminist P At the City University of New York, 2005. 1-286.
Baghdad Burning is written by a young woman, Riverbend, living in Baghdad. Riverbend is in her mid-twenties and lives with her father, mother, and brother. Burning Baghdad is a blog written by Riverbend during the war. She has very strong feelings about the war and about Americans. This book is said to be necessary reading. Burning Baghdad is a perfect book to read in this course because it is present day and we are all familiar with the war. Also, it is a legitimate blog written by a young woman close in age to the students reading the book. This book is going to be easy to relate to in one sense, but hard to relate to in another sense. Reading this book can be beneficial because it is a point of view from the other side of the fence. It can be a real eye opening to get a different point of view.

Very nice work on the HW 33 annotated bibliography.
You did well on all the important parts of the assignment. I’ll just draw your attention to a small mechanical thing: If you’re citing the whole book, you don’t need to give the page numbers at the end (but that would be right if you were referring to just a particular section of it.
