emilicious

I read pages 70-79 in Baghdad Burning and those pages did not answer the questions that I was asked to answer for homework 41. The post on September 19, 2003 talked about the raids. It sounded absolutely horrible. Troops coming into your house and tearing it apart. Riverbend talked about how sometimes it would be in the middle of the night and so sometimes the owner of the house might think it was a robber or something and pick up a gun for protection. Apparently that was the worst thing to do. She talked about how people were being killed in these raids and it just seemed really wrong to me. Even one of her neighbors was raided in the middle of the night. Riverbend watched from her roof while reminiscing about the last time she had seen her neighbor. The grandfather of their house was taken away and Riverbend wasn’t sure why. Her neighbor still hasn’t returned and she feels bad for the family. The post on September 21, 2003 talked about how a member of the governing council, Akila Al-Hashimi, was killed. This was a big upset because she was apparently a good member of the council, not to mention a female member of the council. The post on September 24, 2003 she talked about oil and such. This post was confusing and I didn’t understand it. I’m sorry that I couldn’t answer the questions you had asked.
