The speakers interviewed in OffShore explain the kinship felt by indigenous Hawaiian’s towards Mauna Kea. One speaker and activist, Rutha Lua mentions Mauna Kea as a grandparent, “who can a”be kind of standoffish” but prayers can lift her clouds. Loa providing Mauna Kea with pronouns humanizes the volcano and shows a distinct connection between that suggests an intimate relationship between this piece of nature and humans. Similarly, Hawaiian Indigenous leader Pua Case also described Mauna Kea as a grandparent. Notably she provides an anecdote in which one must earn respect from Mauna Kea and expressing reasons for visiting such as singing to the mountain or praying. Pua Cae’s examples for visiting the mountain describe not only an intimate relationship but also a selfless one which strays away from the recreational uses associated with nature. The…
I think this event should be categorized as imperialism. A country tries to make an empire by using imperialism. Imperialism is in control of a country’s materials. Imperialism establishes new colonies in poor countries.…
Candace M. Whitney Professor Lynn McClelland English 101 22 February 2013 Living in Arizona vs. Living in Hawaii I was born and raised in Hawaii on the tiny island of Kauai where the misty rains fall daily, the grass is green all year around and the culture is rich in the spirit of aloha. Although living a life in Hawaii may seem wonderful and made in paradise, many locals make the tough decision to move away and Arizona has become the popular place to go. Arizona, with all its history and massive landmarks is by far the greatest place to reside and I would encourage anyone to make this beautiful state their home instead of making the mistake of believing that Hawaii is paradise. The cost of living should be enough in itself to convince…

People are led to believe that Hawaii is paradise. Living is easy, weather is nice all year around, and the locals are friendly. This may be true but yet many still choose to move away from the islands to start a new life in the mainland. Some may say this is odd, but that is before they understand the reasoning behind it. It is difficult to support a family financially well in Hawaii, traffic is one of the worst in the country, and the crime for drugs is huge.…
The island of Oahu is overrated for being a tourist destination, so why not go to the Big Island instead? The island of Oahu and the Big Island are Hawaiian islands in which people visit every year from around the world. The rate of tourists in each island grow yearly, all thanks to its magnificent landscapes it offers to people all around the globe, but the island of Oahu has 45% more tourism rate than the Big Island’s tourism rate.

Both islands have its own characteristics that differentiate each other; however, both islands are also very similar.…

Hawaii attracts many tourists per year because of its history, geography, and entertainment. This state is known for its many islands, volcanoes, and climate as well. When I think about Hawaii all I imagine is standing on the beach overlooking the ocean getting hit with the nice warm breeze hearing laughter and seeing smiles. Since “Hawaii is one of the most isolated places on Earth” it makes vacationing there completely stress and worry free, because you are far away from home and nothing on your mind but having a great vacation (Neri p.4).…

“The Aloha State” was annexed to the United States in 1959, but its history can be dated back centuries earlier. Approximately 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot in Hawaii. Hawaiian culture, a mixture of many Polynesian traditions, flourished over the centuries. The arrival of Captain James Cook, Protestant missionaries, and European diseases in the late 18th and early 19th centuries stunted the growth and development of the native Hawaiian population. Western influence continued to grow and by 1893, American colonists, who controlled much of Hawaii's economy, overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. Although many natives died in the hustle of their history, their culture lived on. When on vacationing in Hawaii, tourists can experience the vibrancy of the Hawaiian culture firsthand.…
