It would not have been possible without the generous assistance of the libraries and archives I visited, in both the United States and the United Kingdom. However, without the support of the history department and Florida State University, I would not have been able to complete the project. My advisor, Charles Upchurch encouraged me to broaden my understanding of the British Empire, which led to my decision to study Charles Gordon. Dr. Upchurch‘s constant urging for me to push my writing and theoretical understanding of imperialism further, led to a much stronger dissertation than I could have ever produced on my own.

Can’t you make up? Are you sure? Did you try?” These are the questions Patty asked her mother. “Sweetie, yes. And I don’t expect you to understand. It’s just the way it has to be,” said Gloria. Her voice was cracking, her glasses fogging behind the wet dish towel in her hand, wrapped around red knuckles, rubbing a plate dry. “It’s all our fault,” said Patty’s brother, David, who was leaning over the back of a chair with his head in his hands like he was on a soap opera. “If we hadn’t been such rotten kids, this wouldn’t have happened.” Patty looked at David to see if he was serious. God, he was.

  • By Toni Morrison Editing Note: This Book Is Impossible to Rate
    The Bluest Eye By Toni Morrison Editing note: This book is impossible to rate. While reading you will encounter text that runs all together this is not a scanning error or an editing error rather it is the way the book was written. You will also notice numerus grammatical and spelling errors again not all of these are in fact errors but the way in which the characters speak. Finally this book is for mature readers. It is explicit and has 1 subject matter that some may find offensive, however it is realistic and portrays a life that most of us cannot understand or relate to. To the two who gave me life and the one who made me free Foreword There can’t be anyone, I am sure, who doesn’t know what it feels like to be disliked, even 2 rejected, momentarily or for sustained periods of time. erhaps the feelin! is merely indifference, mild annoyance, but it may also be hurt. It may even be that some of us know what it is like to be actually hated" hated for things we have no control over and cannot change. When this happens, it is some consolation to know that the dislike or hatred is unjustified"that you don’t deserve it. $nd if you have the emotional strength and/or support from family and & friends, the damage is reduced or erased. We think of it as the stress 'minor or disablin!( that is part of life as a human. When I began writing The )luest *ye, I was interested in somethin! else.

  • Jaroslav Valkoun the Sudanese Life of General Charles George Gordon1
    Anton Prokesch von Osten… | Miroslav Šedivý 48 | 49 He in no way gained the general esteem of his colleagues by assentation as claimed by Jaroslav Valkoun Hammer-Purgstall but, on the contrary, by raising arguments even in contradiction with the opinion prevailing at the Viennese Chancellery at the time, as happened in 1832. The validity of his opinions considerably improved his position and increased Me- tternich’s respect. Consequently, though more well-disposed towards Mohammed Ali than the Austrian chancellor himself, Prokesch continued to play the role of Metterni- ch’s adviser in the following years, and he did so either by his written comments to Laurin’s reports or through personal meetings with the chancellor in Vienna. With his two memoirs from late 1833 Prokesch also significantly influenced Metternich’s Egyp- tian policy for several years to come. Prokesch’s considerable reputation was so high that it survived Metternich’s fall in March 1848 and later brought him to the diplomatic post in Constantinople where, as mentioned above, he represented the Austrian and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1855 to 1871.
