This book fits into the course in many ways. It describes how blogging allows people to write and share their thoughts about the war in Iraq. This book is about a young woman who they call “ Riverbend.” In this book Riverbend posts blogs about the war and her experiences has a person in Iraq during this time. I think that you can learn a lot from reading this book, like the affects the war has on civilians living there and how woman are being treated in a different country. The benefits from reading this is how it can make you think how lucky you are for living in a country where you feel safe and equal everyday. This book allows us to see the perspectives from a woman living in Baghdad and lets us understand why blogging is so important.
