HW#41 Evening Tea and Palm trees

After learning more about Riverbend’s culture it was very interesting to know what the Iraqi’s value most in their lives. Palm trees are especially important for their useful dates. They use the parts of the palm tree to make many household items and use dates for many cooking items. (Riverbend 104) The Iraqi’s take much pride in the palm tree and the dates it produces. I also found it interesting how important Tea is to them because they drink it through out the day and have tea every evening. They brew their own tea from leaves. Rivebend even says, “Tea is so important in Iraq, that it makes up a substantial part of the rations we’ve been getting ever since the sanctions were imposed upon the country” (Riverbend 109)
