    Ruth Awasa, a Japanese American internment camp survivor, once stated, “Sometimes good comes through adversity” (Awasa). After viewing and researching several articles and pictures on densho.org, I gathered some pieces of knowledge about the Japanese Americans that resided in the Minidoka Internment Camp in southern Idaho. The internment camp residents I believe faced treatment there that was not justified for their situations. Additionally, the Japanese Americans there, especially the younger people, I argue, had a positive attitude throughout, like Ruth Awasa. Minidoka was in a very desolate and barren place in the state, so it was easy to become depressed over the surroundings that the Japanese Americans faced.…

    King Kamehameha is often recognized as one of the greatest monarchs and leaders of Hawaii. “Acclaimed as the strongest Hawaiian ruler, he maintained his kingdom’s independence throughout the difficult period of European discovery and exploration of the islands—a task that proved too great for his successors” (Kamehameha I). While King Kamehameha deserves recognition for his accomplishments, in my opinion, Queen Ka’ahumanu was the better leader. In her early years, she was married to Kamehameha I and “…supported him in his efforts to unite the islands of the archipelago under his central authority and shared largely in their governance” Kaahmanu). Queen Ka’ahumanu greatly helped the “strongest Hawaiian ruler” actually lead Hawaii.…
