Pacific Islands

don’t want to miss it because then you’ll lose an hour of island time. You decide to take the traditional ferry because it’s cheaper and you’re worried you’ll get seasick going at higher speeds. So you pay for your ticket, grab your bag (and maybe a bike if you’re smart) and rush to the ferry.…

hero because she was standing up against sexism, becoming a symbol of strength for women, and determining that she would prove even more. By standing up to sexism, Amelia Earhart was a hero.

After flying she would make public appearances to show that women were just as strong as men and more (www.ameliaearhart.com). She always addressed herself, as well as other women, as…

Two different lives’ stories have been produced as movies. Temple Grandin was a true story about an autistic person’s life and how she became a successful person. Autism did not bring her life down, but it was an opportunity that allowed her to become a successful scientist. The movie had been produced to show how an autistic person acted and thought or exhibited how her life was different from other autistic people and was difficult being an autistic person. Still, she motivated herself and…

The Function of Memory Elie Wiesel, a Nobel-Prize winning writer, once said, “ Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.” Wiesel, explains the importance of memory and why it 's important to remember, even when people might want to forget. Memories are the moments people remember from their past; memories are essential to a large extent, because it’s the glue to what holds a person together. Memories are important because someone…

problem. War is described as a violent, chaotic conflict that involves two or more parties, and those parties can range from small groups of people to entire nations. The war of the Falkland Islands is one of the never ending number of conflicts the world has seen. Disputes over the ownership of three islands in the coast of Argentina caused friction between them and the United Kingdom, thus leading to a war. While not full-scale, the war was rather a violent one. When examining…

first discovered by Polynesians in the island of Ni‘ihau (the forbidden island). The Ni’ihau community is what I will be focusing on in this paper, since it is known to be the first island in Hawaii that was Goddess Pele’s first home (Ni`ihau Cultural Heritage Foundation). After the islands were inhabited by the early Polynesians, Kahelelani was known to become the first great “ali‘i” (chief) of the island of Ni‘ihau. This is why today, you will often hear the island being called Ni‘ihau a…

Stephen Hopkins was born Scituate March 7, 1707 and died in Providence, Rhode Island July 13, 1785 after retiring from serving the Continental Congress.

1. Would you agree that Beckett’s Waiting for Godot perfectly encapsulates all the uncertainties of modernity? Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot belongs to the Theatre of the Absurd. The absence of a meaningful plot, of objective dialogues and of absolute certainty is the state of absurdity. Beckett utilizes absurdity to play around with the concept of existential nullity which saw man trapped in a hostile world. Human life is meaningless and this created a sense of alienation, despair and…

The year was 1585, when those men came—or should I even call them that. For they were not men, the were monsters. In the town of Werowocomoco (present day capital city of Virginia) lived us, the Secotans. The territory in which we lived in—Wingandacoa—was bounded by the Pamlico River and Albermarle Sound. In our town, there was a long narrow road which held 11 houses, fields—in which we grew corn, tabacco, and sunflower—watched by someone on a stand, a charnel house, dance ground, and communal…
