Sirens

Well It may be a little late but I did fall behind on my blogs...


Sirens of Baghdad was a dark book. At first I really didn't like it and i didn't see why we were reading it. It was a bout a culture that i didn't know about and really truthfully didn't care about. It is known that Iraqis have issues now, and its really not something that most Americans want to look into after all we in a way caused them...

When I first read the book those first 100 pages were pretty bad, I mentioned it in class, they went in and out of my brain and I didn't really understand what I read. Taking Olivia's advice I decided to take notes while reading this helped but it still didn't solve the fact that the book was very dark.

While waiting in the airport for my flight to leave for BWI, I began to read, interesting place to read.... I read the second half of the book and from then it kinda begun to make sense all the BS that the author was talking about all the hardships were getting somewhere it was showing the transformation from human to terrorist.

It was showing how ordinary people get so wrapped up in problems that they break and go off in unorthodox ways. It did prove to b e interesting mostly to hear about his transformation to terrorist. The end however really didn't make sense when you think about it logically there was a lot that lead up to it. His goal was to attack the planet as a terrorist would but something clicked and he didn't. If only this could happen with all terrorists. In a way I am glad that the book is over and i look forward to Reading hopefully less dark novels.
