Works Cited Riverbend. Bagdad Burning. New York: The Feminist P At the City University of New York, 2005. 1-286.  Baghdad Burning is about a twenty four year old woman living in Iraq with her mother, father and brother in present day. Every day she constantly has to deal with the war. She hears and sees it from her rooftop. Her and her brother sit on the roof and identify ammunitions from their sound. If they need to go to the store to get crayons they need to gather up a crew of friendly soldiers to help. The woman calls herself Riverbend and she blogs when she has electricity, which can sometimes mean the middle of the night. The book is made up of her blogs. She will blog about her feelings about the war and what has gone on that day. If she felt sick, or she saw something crazy that day. Baghdad Burning is a great way to get a different side of story you haven’t heard yet.
