An excerpt from the first interaction with the natives on April 24, 1823, defined the Hawaiian men who greeted the ship as “half man and half…

Students’ success relies on the ability to grow as an individual through academic traditions, such as learning to master close reading. The importance of being objective and exhaustive while reading was emphasized in the Peter Brooks essay, “An Ethics of Reading.” In a way, students inadvertently force their values into their assigned reading; however, this causes them to perceive everything they read in a biased light.
