A Trip To Hawaii Essay

Improved Essays
I would like to go to Maui, Hawaii. Maui, Hawaii has many colorful beaches and tourist activities. The weather is warm with lots of rain. However, when it is not raining, the scenery is amazing. The exotic colorful flowers and trees is a great reason to visit. Not to mention the colorful animals that live there. Maui is just such an amazing place that I would really like to visit.
The island has many national landmarks. Three great landmarks in Maui are Haleakala, Molokini Crater, and Dragons Teeth. Haleakala sits 10,000 feet above sea level. Since Haleakala is so high up in the air temperatures average around 40 degrees Fahrenheit ("Maui Facts & Information: Fun Facts About Maui."1). Molokini Crater is another large tourist attraction. The Pride of Maui is used to take a snorkeling trip to Molokini Crater. At this Crater the you can see up to 150 feet in the water. There is also 250 different types of fish. Since there is a large amount of people that visit the crater, many fish are tame (Welcome to Maui, Hawaii!" 1). Dragon's teeth is a natural landmark in Maui. The rocks are jagged and sharp. They look almost exactly like a giant dragon’s mouth. All of these places are great places to visit when going to Maui.

According to “ Maui. Myths and Legends of the World.” natives believe that Maui was created by a god name Maui. This god casted a magical rod with a magical hook, and hooked the ocean bottom. He then pulled the ocean bottom up to create this beautiful island. They also believe that Maui made the ski higher up and made daylight last

    To him, it was a true calling of a Hawaiian. Hōkūle’a was a result of a debate that had arisen among those in the scientific community who questioning how the Hawaiians actually arrived in Hawaii. The Hawaiians claimed that their ancestors came from Eastern Asia, sailing across the pacific ocean, inhabiting the islands they discovered, and slowly making there way until they found the Hawaiian islands. Scientists claimed that this was not possible, stating that the Polynesians were not great sailors and rather found Hawaii by accident. The scientists believed that the Hawaiians actually came from South America, mainly Peru or Chile, rather than from Polynesia.…

    The parallels of the creation stories of the Hawaiian’s and that of Hinduism is too evident to not compare. While the stories have many variances, the context and effect in their particular region is almost identical. Both stories tell of a time where emptiness and unknowns were the norm, however the stories of Kumulipo and Purushasukta parallel in the creation of the world as we know it through a specific event whether it be the sacrifice of the ultimate being or a night of creation. The parallelism of the creation stories is not a mere act of coincidence, as we would later discuss of the parallels of Zoroastrianism and Christianity with both having a constant battle of good and evil.…

    Land of the free and home of the brave. These words define American culture and evoke patriotism among its citizens. But, if one were to look beyond the shining sentimentality and apply these words to the U.S.’s cruel history, it conjures a different feeling. In 1893, Hawaii was colonized by the United States and has since become the epitome of these famous words. Paradistic freedom balanced with brave militaristic guardians make Hawaii the perfect vacation spot, surrounded by the safety of countless military personnel.…

    Growing up in a Hawaiian/white family I have always been surrounded by both cultures; from experiencing what it means to be a local in Hawaii, to experiencing a Haole (or white) culture. I have seen it all in regards to how each culture is different, along with how each culture reacts to one another; however, there is one issue, that when observing both sides of these cultural backgrounds, we see repeated over and over again between the two-that issue is racism. “Prejudice and discrimination are not alien to Hawai’i. Attitudinal surveys show definite racial preferences and sensitivity to color differences.” (Schaefer, pg 278) While a lot of this racism is said to be tied to the migration of the “multicultural nature of the Islands” (pg 278),…
