Descriptive Essay: My Return To Hawaii

Decent Essays
I expected Hawaii to be tropical paradise, but it’s not. My shack is very tiny and there are at least 1 million unknown creatures. I work 10 hour days, 6 days a week. The plantations are hot, dry, I have to cover up, and the Luna (overseer) is very disrespectful to me. My expectations were beyond not met because of the housing, unfair treatment, and horrible FOOD!

Surprisingly my dad told me we are going to stay in Japan for a month with my grandma and grandpa in Sapporo where many fresh meat is being made locally. Day before the journey begins, I realized this will be my first time riding a plane as well. This frightened me because I am afraid of heights. I fixed this by reading a book on how to not be afraid of heights while riding the airplane (This is funny because my dad thought I was ridiculous).…
