In its times, “Brian’s Song” was the most iconic made-for-TV movie. ABC strategically placed its premier, utilizing the concept of “flow” to cross-over their normal, stereotypical male Monday Night Football audience, towards the broad audience they were striving for their prime-time football games. Doing this allowed Monday Night Football to become a “consensual space”, thanks to the high viewing rates of the connecting film. These ideas worked with the themes of the movie to construct a…

Subsequently, he was formally elected as the new president of Cuba. Within time, he started changing slightly the way Cuba was formed, from a very communist…

and at other times they were severely persecuted. Charles I of England made efforts to purge all Puritan influences from England, which resulted in the “Great Migration” to Europe and the American Colonies. The Pilgrims who formed the Massachusetts Bay Colony were separatist Puritans who had been forced out of England and Holland. Non separatist Puritans who remained in England responded to this persecution with the English Civil War (1641-51), which led to the execution of Charles I, the exile…

blasphemous practices of the Church of England. The colony of Massachusetts Bay was built to restore proper moral and religious practices for the sake of keeping the community holy and, in turn, in God’s favor. Anne Hutchinson devoted her life to being an extraordinary member of the Puritan church, even if it meant stepping on the toes of leaders to express her ideas. This behavior was unacceptable in the Massachusetts Bay colony and Anne was put on trial in front of the General Court, leading…

is time and communication. Communication is the key component to this relationship and can be seen that it has been lacked for sometime. Through the years one will see that starting from the Bay of Pigs both countries have been going through experiences and changes to maybe figure out a relationship. The Bay of Pigs was an invasion on Cuba planned by the Central…

The church educated children, both boys and girls, so they could read from the bible, it maintained the community by hosting gatherings and events; it served as a common theme. The church was the lifeblood of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. When people dared to stray from traditional customs, the Massachusetts General Court set down laws that the town might not be troubled any longer, the individual bringing wrath upon the whole (Massachusetts General Court 234, 236). Notably,…

Alcatraz Island has a rather distinct past. Even though Alcatraz sits in the middle of San Francisco Bay, the island seems distant, as if it were miles out of sea. The appeal to Alcatraz is uninviting, since it had played an important role in the history of California. Imagine being imprisoned in one of the world’s most disreputable prisons. However, not only is the island well known as the prison, but it was much more than a prison going back in time. Alcatraz was a prison for the worst…
