Hawaii Persuasive Speech

What are some of the first things you think of when you think of Hawaii? Do you think of hula dancers, palm trees, pineapples? I’m guessing you think of all of those things, plus some, but I bet you don't think of the alphabet! Hawaii’s alphabet was invented by missionaries long ago, it includes all five vowels, plus the letters h,k,l,m,n,p, and w, that's only 12 letters! But that's not all, there is so much more to learn about this amazing eight island chain.
Now you’re probably wondering, well why should I visit Hawaii, there’s nothing really special about, it is just a normal state. But there’s many things that are special about it. First, the weather, the weather is very steady in Hawaii, even though it still has all the seasons just like

Second, the people and the culture, all of the people in Hawaii have a friendly “Aloha Spirit” this means that they are very kind and fun loving. Next is the beaches and oceans, the Pacific Ocean is a phenomenal place for snorkeling and seeing plenty of sea life. And out of the 400+ beaches you won't find two that are the same, there are green sand beaches, black sand, red, yellow and white sand. Third, I will share about the food and shopping. The food is mostly traditional Hawaiian food like, poi, salmon, ahi ahi, Kahlua pork, and Hawaiian bread. Shopping is wonderful in Hawaii because you can really find whatever you need, souvenirs, gifts, snacks and so much more, some is cheap and some expensive. Lahaina in Maui is a great place to shop, have great food, and have a lot of fun! On to history, geography, and volcanoes! Hawaii’s history is very important, such as the first people there, and Pearl Harbor as one of the biggest Hawaiian historical moments, these things are important to Hawaii and our country because we were affected by it in many ways. Now the geography, the Hawaiian islands are …show more content…
Today in Hawaii, there are three active volcanoes, two on the Big Island, the Maunaloa and the Kilauea and the Loihi that is located underwater a little ways off the Big Island. There are seven major volcanoes in Hawaii to this day, but there are countless others throughout the islands. The seven major volcanoes include Haleakala on Maui, the Maunaloa, Kilauea, Mauna Kea, Loihi, Diamond Head, and the Kohala. The last big Hawaiian volcano eruption was in 1801, but the Maunaloa last erupted in 1984 and Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983. As I said earlier, Loihi is located underwater and has been erupting since 1996, and scientist think that is may break the surface and for a ninth island in about 250,000

    The Hawaiian islands were first discovered hundreds of years ago by Polynesians, the first Hawaiians.

    Similarly, Hawaii has scuba diving and snorkeling; though instead of looking at old artifacts you can find treasure by spotting Hawaii’s sea life, from coral all the way to humpback whales. If you cannot snorkel or scuba, you can rent a boat and enjoy the marine life too. Every year during winter, roughly 10,000 humpback whales from Alaska make their way to Hawaii, near Maui, to either mate, give birth or nurse their young (Sarhangi). It is a sight to see and you can get close by renting a boat or join a tour. What makes Hawaii different than Lake Tahoe in water activities?…

    Besides the rich history, diverse cultures, the beautiful sights, beaches, volcanoes and such, I am sure most mainlanders have no idea what pidgin is. Just as Black English is used primarily by those in the Black communities, Pidgin is a language most of the people that live in Hawai’i use to communicate with another. We can go from typing and speaking in professional manner, to all of sudden speaking pidgin to our close friends and family. You could say Pidgin is a way of life. The way Pidgin came about was during the Sugar Plantation era when people from all around the world (i.e. The Philippines, Japan, China, Portugal, Korea, etc) came to work on the islands harvesting the sugar canes.…
