HW:41… Culture Literacy
So I found that the three questions we had to choose from were a bit confusing. I don’t remember reading about them specifically but in different forms of which the questions are asked. The first question was what is the role of gold in family savings in Iraq? My answer to this is that not many families in Iraq are classified as “rich”. “Gold” in family’s is rare but in the reading Riverbend was describing “S.” who was involved with the oil company in her community sneaking around to in a way hide the fact he had money. Moving to the third question is says describe the custom of evening tea in Iraq. I don’t recall reading about evening tea, but I believe it is referring to a peaceful night. The nights in Iraq aren’t so peaceful. Every one is worried about raids. Riverbend is describing a horrible experience she had with a raid that came during the night. So I don’t think many Iraqis’ are sitting down for evening tea to end their evening.
