Before reading pages 70 though 79 I looked at the three questions being asked..”What is the role of gold in family savings in Iraq?”, “Why are date palms important to the Iraqi people?”, and “Describe the custom of evening tea in Iraq.” I did not find any information about these three questions in the reading. Based on what I already know from reading Riverbend, I know that gold is not common in many Iraqi families. Gold typically represents wealth, for the Iraqi people oil is their main source of wealth. I feel that oil is the Iraqi equivilent of gold. I am really not sure about date palms and their importance to the Iraqi people. The custom of evening tea in Iraq is also not really something I remember being discussed. In my opinion I feel that evening tea is maybe the one peaceful part of the day for people in Iraq. This may be something that each family does once a night as their quiet family gathering. Maybe it takes part when the electricity goes out for the night.
