President Barack Obama won the election by a land slide, but this past Illinois senator was born and raised in Honolulu Hawaii, one of the best places in the world (Wikipedia, Honolulu). Hawaii is one of the best places and is going to be one of the best locations to move to. I really should move to Hawaii over staying here in Illinois. One of the Islands I would choose to move to is Oahu, whose nickname is “the gathering place” (City). I also would specifically prefer to live in Honolulu; I been there before and absolutely loved being there. Honolulu is an absolute great place to live, it has a fantastic selection of state parks around it and overall it is ninety nine percent better than Illinois (Kathie). The Honolulu city is seen by me as incredible, fantastic, and adventurous. There is that one percentage that Illinois has that makes me prefer to live there and it has some history as well.
Even if Illinois is a tragic place to live its few qualities that make it a livable place to live and a history that is slightly particular that should be voiced. Illinois itself was settled by the French explorers in sixteen seventy three (Wikipedia, Illinois). Illinois stayed a French territory until is conquered by the British people at the end of the seven years’ war (Wikipedia, Illinois). The Illinois area was explored at around the date of nineteen seventy three (Wikipedia, Illinois). After being fully explored and settled, Illinois was enabled to become a state on the “date of eighteen eighteen”. During the civil war in the nineteenth century, southern Illinois would serve as a strategic supply point and root for the northern side. In the later twentieth century, the first sustained nuclear reaction was done in Illinois (Wikipe...

  • Effective Use of Pathos and Connotative Language

    925 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Hawaiian culture is known throughout the western world for their extravagant luaus, beautiful islands, and a language that comes nowhere near being pronounceable to anyone but a Hawaiian. Whenever someone wants to “get away” their first thought is to sit on the beach in Hawai’i with a Mai tai in their hand and watch the sun go down. Haunani-Kay Trask is a native Hawaiian educated on the mainland because it was believed to provide a better education. She questioned the stories of her heritage she heard as a child when she began learning of her ancestors in books at school. Confused by which story was correct, she returned to Hawai’i and discovered that the books of the mainland schools had been all wrong and her heritage was correctly told through the language and teachings of her own people. With her use of pathos and connotative language, Trask does a fine job of defending her argument that the western world destroyed her vibrant Hawaiian culture.

  • Tourism in Hawai’i and Charleston, South Carolina: Helping the Economy or Putting Strain on Residents and the Environment?

    973 Words  | 2 Pages

    There has been intense controversy in regards to Hawai’i and Charleston, South Carolina’s strong dependence on tourism as a means to help stimulate their economies. On an economic standpoint, there has been substantial support in regards to the benefits tourism has had in helping to sustain economic revenue in both areas (Blair, 2010; Frampton, 2010; Smith, 2010). Environmentalists, however, are becoming concerned about the posed environmental effects caused by the increase in tourism to Hawai‘i, while those of whom call Charleston home feel as if they are being plagued by an overrun of tourists to the area (Bly, 2010; Conrow, 21). In this proposed paper, I will explore the economic advantages and the environmental concerns associated with tourism in Hawai’i and Charleston, South Carolina.

    ...e" (Trask xix). This incident beautifully illustrates and signifies tourism's impact in American society. Like most Americans, this woman uses a discourse that has been shaped by tourist advertisements and souvenirs. The woman's statement implies that Trask resembles what the tourist industry projects, as if this image created Hawaiian culture. As Trask asserts, Hawaiian culture existed long before tourism and has been exploited by tourism in the form of advertisements and items such as postcards. Along with the violence, endangered environment, and poverty, this exploitation is what the tourist industry does not want to show. However, this is the Hawai'i Haunani-Kay Trask lives in everyday. "This is Hawai'i, once the most fragile and precious of sacred places, now transformed by the American behemoth into a dying land. Only a whispering spirit remains" (Trask 19).

  • An Analysis Of This Is Paradise

    841 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...Hawai`i’s economy is very dependent on tourism, however many locals are possessive of their land, and as they stereotype tourists, many do not accept others as they have a unity for their own. Numerous individuals feel the desideratum to fit the local stereotype because they prefer not to be labeled as a “haole”. It becomes tough and rather intense for an individual, because becoming haole betokens that you forgot and disregarded the local or Hawaiian quality values and ways of routes, as well as the flowing stream of life in the islands. We need to remind ourselves that regardless of where we emanate from, our skin tone, race, physical characteristics, and so forth, everybody ought to acknowledge just for who we/they are and treat one another like 'ohana and show "aloha", and subsequently, we can determinately verbally express "This is it. This is Paradise" (33).
