Descriptive Essay About Hawaii

American Hawaii Hawaii is known for its beautiful beaches, it’s nice year-round weather, and its culture. Thousands of vacationers come to Hawaii each year to get away from the stressful city and relax. But do they know how cruel the Americans were to the natives? Do they know how we corrupted their culture and their religion? Do they know how Hawaii really became a state? Probably not. When most people think of Hawaii, they think of happy Hawaiian babes hula dancing and palm trees swaying in the warm breeze.

Hawaii is now populated mostly by Americans.

This scenery of Hawaii look like a paradise. I want to start with the beach smells fresh a like new ocean air freshener spray.

It is not just the beautiful landscapes and wildlife that spark the interest to this particular area, but the uniqueness of the Hawaiian volcanoes and islands themselves are what make the area so significant. There will be information spanning from the history of the origin of the islands to how Hawaii must adjust to the volcanic hazards in order to keep the area livable. With these ideas in mind, I will first address background information on the area and set the scene as to what makes this area so special. Then I will transition to the history of how the

Indigenous people have suffered throughout their lifetime under the strain of white, modern-day, culture. We have violated the rights of the Hawaiians by stealing their land, polluting once beautiful oceans, over-populating their homes, killing native species that once prospered, banning native language and history, and especially in the exploitation of their culture in a way in which we can create a profit for ourselves, while continuing to belittle the Hawaiian beliefs and practices. It is up to us to correct the misguided actions of the past, and return what was wrongfully stolen from them. I believe that Hawaii should be able to dissolve from the United States, and in doing so have both their land and culture returned to them.

What I would do to give back to Hawaii is to do any type of Volunteer work that is needed to make the community a better place, whether it’s to help feeding those who are homeless, Adopting a highway cleaning up all the big trash debris that are left on the side of the road or throw out the car window, helping at a hospital that has children patients who have cancer or also elderly, helping with the animal shelter for example maybe helping on the days where they allow people to see the dogs if they want to adopt them etc. I enjoy doing things that will benefit not only me but others around me, things that will make others smile and allow them to see that a lot of people are willing to give a helping hand.

As a child, around the age of five, I became friends with the children of a family that had just moved to our neighborhood from Hawaii. The parents would occasionally make statements in a language that the children could not speak. I realize now that they were making these statements in Hawaiian, although they did not speak the language fluently, and their children did not speak the language at all. Unfortunately, this loss of language from one generation to the next has been quite common in Hawaii since the early nineteen-hundreds when the influence of the United States resulted in institutionalized language death.

There are several differences between Oklahoma and Hawaii that would be the easy to explain without getting into politics. The cost of living is comparable in both states but for different reasons like cost of food or insurance. The cultures are completely different but still somewhat the same.

American tourism to Hawaii has increased by 14.2 percent in just two years. This dramatic increase in tourism seems to be a beneficial boost for Hawaii's economy; however, the increasing rate of tourism is harming the native people of Hawaii. While the Hawaiian economy is experiencing one of its most fruitful years, the native Hawaiian people are suffering from job loss, poverty, depression, and an overall "cultural destruction" (Trask 260). Haunani-Kay Trask uses rhetoric to discuss these harmful effects in her essay "Tourist, Stay Home" in order to persuade her readers into believing that tourism can actually be a bad thing for an economy. On the other hand, in his article "Surf's Up for the Economy in Hawaii," Jim

When she would go down to the beach, which was on occasions, she would pick up seashells and throw them into the ocean. Everytime she gets angry she makes the volcano erupt a little bit at a time until she got really angry. She thought about how cool it would be to be in charge of the volcanoes. She finally cooled off and went back home. She wanted to tell her parents about her idea. So she did. They weren’t very supportive so she went

The day has come, finally my very first vacation. I got up with excitement and I remember looking out my window and seeing how the sunrise was spreading across the sky. I remember my mom calling my siblings

The ideal vacation for me is somewhere nice and warm. A vacation where you are suppose to be able to unwind and relax. Being around somewhere that isn't school related or teachers. For me, a way to relax is not to be around loud things, like little kids and preferably somewhere peaceful. A good vacation is somewhere near a nice beach, where I can have a delicious barbeque while chilling with some music. If there was a break, I would choose to go to Hawaii or somewhere with a breathtaking view so I can take many pictures.
