McCabe comes into the settlement as a complete stranger and he also appears as such to the audience. The western hero as an unknown stranger has been an often used device. One must only think of Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, or, in his later film The Pale Rider. In McCabe and Mrs. Miller, the audience only indirectly learns McCabe’s name as Sheehan, the pub-owner, asks the protagonist
Culture of nationalism is when there is a presence of commonalities among a population living in a certain territory or region. These commonalities can be made up of several factors such as rituals, traditions, religion, lifestyle, and ideas.

So when a dust storm destroyed their solar array, Chris took it upon himself to fix it. So consumed with the desire to bring power back to the settlement, Chris did not notice that another storm was brewing on the horizon while he was walking to the array.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue, which started a huge push by European nations to gain power and wealth, mainly in the way of building Empires in the New World. This was called the Age of Exploration and lasted from the late 15th to the early 17th century. Spain, under King Ferdinand II of Aragon, was the first nation to do this. Juan Ponce de León was a conquistador and one of the earlier voyagers to the New World in the European Age of Exploration, he accomplished several notable

Reasons for immigration, like those for migration, are often economic, although religious or political factors may be very important.

These quote from chapter twenty (The Minister in a Maze) offers a unique view into the minds of Arthur Dimmesdale. He is a young, pale, and physically delicate person.We get to know the young minister’s daily experiences and his thoughts about Hester, Pearl and the other characters who surround him. Hester is a young woman sent to the colonies by her husband, who plans to join her later but does not make it since they presume he is lost in the sea.
