First reading response

There are four articles for me to read, however, all of them is discussing about one topic. It is about Jerusalem and a festival about Jerusalem. They are all good readings for me, but above all, I like the first article written by Amiry Suad. It is called Researching East Jerusalem. Obviously, it is a short article, but this is not the only reason I like it. It is because I learned more about what is Jerusalem in this article.
Jerusalem in my mind is a city filled with violence, injure and sorrows. Whenever I mention about it, I always feel sad about this city. Firstly, Jerusalem as an old city is in a bad situation. Secondly, there is no peace in a old city like Jerusalem. You know, in chinese people opinion, settlement is the most important thing in the world, so I believe that only peace and good situation can bring settlement for Jerusalem, and settlement can provide happiness to Jerusalem.
Then, in the article, Researching East Jerusalem, the author tells us about her experience about Jerusalem. It said that Jerusalem has a great number of problems, but its culture, and society has an positive attitude about it.
This is why I am going to have positive attitude also. I am just a chinese, and don't know the situation in Jerusalem very well, however, people who live there still have positive attitude about it. Why don't I? It may be a slow pace for it, but Jerusalem should have a wonderful future.
