anchor: well i um when the when the crisis began last August i began to think well i i um couldn't remember things that i had studied in the past in school and all so i got out like my encyclopedias and tried to read about the history and it was really what i felt was kind of cynical because it there just hasn't been any peace over there
positive: After the latest crisis started, I read up on the history of the region using encyclopedias.
negative: When the crisis ended, I remembered everything about it I had studied at university, and I was happy to see peace finally happen.
