    This passage really spoke with me as well and I was in shock at the monumental role that Dona Maria played in this important part of history. Without her, Cortes may have not been able to establish such a foothold in South America. Because of her extreme level of involvement she was apart of everything and knew everything that was occurring. She was respected by many for her talents in linguistics and being at Cortes's side for such a long period of time.…

    Published in 1956 by Philip K. Dick, Minority Report has made itself quite a name. After being adapted several times the one that stuck out the most was the film Minority Report directed by Steven Spielberg in 2002.

First of all, major plot points were different in the film than they were in the story, For example, Anderton is supposed to kill a man named Leopold Kaplan, but in the film, the man is named Leo Crow. Although this seems like a small change, the difference between the two is huge.…
