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.…

Hawaii is known as the go to Paradise for most people who want to travel the country without leaving the United States. Over 150 years ago this was not the case, Hawaii was controlled by monarchs that were established by European explorers.

The Kingdom of Hawaii lasted a little less than a century with two distinct dynasties.…
Beautiful beaches, tropical fruits, amazing volcanoes and an aesthetic view, that description makes many people think of the beautiful Hawaii. What some people don’t know is the history of how Hawaii became a part of the USA. Hawaii was annexed by having to overthrow its leader, and by destroying its government. “In January 1893, the planters staged an uprising to overthrow the Queen. At the same time, they appealed to the United States armed forces for protection” (ushistory.org). Many people debate on the justification of this action. They believe it was an injustice to Hawaii and its people, but really it was a justified action. It was justified because this act brought a lot of profit for America, it was imperialism (social darwinism), and if America had not annexed Hawaii another country most likely would have. The annexation of Hawaii was a justified action by the American Government.…

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…

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.…
