Why Visit Arizona
Arizona, one of the driest places in the United States, in my opinion, is an amazing place to visit. Arizona is not very humid, so even though the temperature gets high it does not feel that hot. Arizona is by far the best place I have ever visited. I visited Arizona three years ago, in the winter time. I went to visit my grandfather in Tucson. Arizona is my favorite place because its landscape is beautiful, there are plenty of activities, and there is a wide variety of wildlife. First and foremost one of the reasons Arizona is amazing is that the landscape is breathtaking. It is mostly flat land but the different types of cacti make up for the lack of trees and other plant life. Arizona also has a variety of sands and rocks. The sand is mainly an orange color, but people can also find black, white, or even red sand in different parts of Arizona. When the sun sets over the horizon, it makes the land look a lot better than it does in the daytime because of …show more content…
One of the creatures that people encounter the most are scorpions. There are many different types of scorpions people can encounter there. Jackrabbits are also very common in Arizona, and people usually see them hopping across the road. An animal that people can encounter and most likely will are snakes. The type of snake that I saw the most of were rattlesnakes. In conclusion, Arizona is just a wonderful place to visit and I hope that I can go back soon. After all I have said, I just think that Arizona is by far the best place that I have ever been. The reasons for my love of Arizona are that it has amazing scenery, plenty of great activities to do, and that the wildlife is intriguing. The best memory I have from Arizona is whenever my grandfather took my siblings and I out to eat and a lot of people from the restaurant asked us about our accent and how different the climate was from

    To begin, Florida known as “the sunshine state” hooks you in as soon as you enter the state. The beautiful palm trees blowing in the wind, the numerous orange groves you see from the roadside and the welcome center offering fresh squeezed orange juice makes you feel so at home. There are so many beautiful exotic looking flowers in the landscaping of homes and businesses. Of course, the warmer climate is the main attraction in Florida. The annual average high is 79F degrees and the average low is 57F degrees. Snow rarely falls in most of Florida, but has on occasion in the northern peninsula. Florida also has an abundant annual rainfall especially during the months of June through September. In addition, Florida is located between the Atlantic Ocean and The Gulf of Mexico, therefore it also has exceptionally high humidity and of course there is always a chance of hurricanes as well. Undoubtedly, both of these items are a major downfall to me.…

    During the Fall months, don’t allow the monsoons to lessen the beauty of this state because in reality, it is one of a very few natural disasters that occur in Arizona and has a survival rate of 99%. In addition, Arizona experiences some of the most beautiful winters during the months of November through March and once in a while mother nature will display her beauty by snowing in places one would never expect. If appreciated, the cold air mixed with the rays of sun can offer breath taking views of the endless blue skies above our desert landscapes or deep within the Grand Canyon groves. Opposite of this are Hawaii’s green, plush, fertile mountains and plains but deep beneath that beauty also lie’s constant rain, humidity and unpredictable hurricanes, floods and tsunami that offer a lower 94% survival rate. Hawaii averages approximately seventy to eighty-five degrees’ year around with a constant humidity level of a torturous 80%. Summers have been known to reach 90% humidity which makes for a very uncomfortable day, especially considering there are no air-conditioned homes in Hawaii. Furthermore, insects thrive on humidity throughout Hawaii and on any given day you may encounter a centipede, cane spider, cockroaches and many other bugs that are unpleasant. As if that isn’t enough, when the tides are high due to changes in the weather pattern’s jelly fish become the enemy in the ocean and if encountered it can be detrimental to human health and safety. Whether anyone enjoys the dry land or the waters in either state, I still believe Arizona is the safer place to live. In conclusion, although Hawaii is paradise and a splendid place to visit, the cost of living, the level of education and whether conditions should have anyone reconsidering a move to Hawaii any time soon. One should take advantage of the outstanding education offered to our…

    Arizona Immigration

    • 1070 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Immigration in the United States is a divided issue. Since the formation of this country people have fought for their way of life and civil rights. Whether it was for life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness that the rebels fought the British for, or the marchers and protesters of the Civil Rights Movement that fought against the laws of segregation. Arizona’s immigration laws are an insult to America’s values, way of life, and civil rights. Those same values that allow us to be free, allow us to pursue happiness, and keep us from being persecuted become challenged when laws like SB 1070 are enacted. Arizona’s immigration law SB 1070 allows any law enforcement official to stop or arrest anyone that is under “reasonable suspicion” of being in the country illegally. Laws like this can have catastrophic impacts on people and the economy as a whole. People scared to even go out and have a meal at a restaurant because of the fear of being stopped by police to prove their status and small business owners losing their livelihood because of it. From civil rights to the economy everyone feels the brunt of this.…
