Growing up with a father who was out of work and who relied on his wife's inheritance gave Fitzgerald a mixed feeling of guilt and shame and yet he felt love for both his parents.

.... Every single one of them was asking the dean to expel me from the university -- basically, kick me out! I never received any e-mail from these teachers. They never voiced their feelings to me, nor did they try to explain how my site hurt their students' education. They decided to ignore me as a human, and try to ruin my future by taking away my chance at a college degree. Aren't these people interested in protecting education? Obviously not, if they want to expel me from school. If any of these teachers had taken a minute to write a polite e-mail, they would have found out that I am a v .....

.... beautiful city. This feeling abated as the strength of the Porte declined, and cultural links began to flourish, as relations between the Empires assumed a more normal position. Many Turks adopted "Western" dress and mannerisms, while the systematic study of the "East," which came to be known as Orientalism, began in Europe. Basing much of its ideas on the Enlightenment and, later, the French Revolution, Orientalism sought to record, classify, and codify the chaos and disorder of the non-European world. Much has been made of the underlying racial and unequal power elements of Orientalism, bu .....

Jefferson's intellectual prowess led some political opponents to dismiss him as a visionary, but he was remarkably successful in politics. As leader of the opposition to the Federalist policies of Alexander Hamilton and John Adams, Jefferson was put forward by his supporters to run against Adams in the election of 1796 to succeed George Washington as president.
