Shelby Yoder English 103 Professor O’Hara 9/13/2012 Life Lesson from Hawaii Hawaii is a place of beauty and colors. Everywhere you look you can see how wonderful of a place Hawaii is. When I went to Hawaii in 2008, I was excepting the beautiful flowers, the oceans, and an amazing time, but not a life lesson that I would take with me everywhere I went from there on. This life lesson was thought by a local pastor named Lonnie and I will never forget what he thought me and my family about life and how to live it. My life changed all because Lonnie waned to teach me and my family the word of his religion that Hawaiians live by.
He wrote the “Star Spangled Banner” in September 1814 and it became immediately popular. Amazingly, the song was the product of a humiliation. Francis Scott Key was a veteran of what some dubbed “the Bladensburg Races,” the total collapse of American forces during the British invasion of Washington in August 1814. When the untrained American militia faced the dogged advance by British troops, backed by artillery fire, the Americans broke rank by the hundreds and then by the thousands. They ran as fast as they could, hence the humorous reference to “The Races.” Most simply ran back toward Washington, including Lieutenant Key.
Captain Huggy Face sailed the rainbow ocean waters in search of a perfect paradise for his people to visit, none the less he found an island at fifteen degrees West and ninety degrees South, right in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. The island seemed to be rich in fruit trees and fish in the coral reef. The fruit trees weren’t ordinary though because with just one bite one would have a new talent for a certain amount of time and each tree has a
His timing couldn’t have been anymore perfect now that Columbus Day is next week. You see his album is about how America came to be and all about the voyages from 1492 to 1503. When we are young we’re told about Columbus and how he was a great man and blah, blah, blah. What is untold is what he did to the natives. When Columbus encountered the natives he didn’t greet them in a very nice manner.
His belief was also revealed when he got an island, one of the first things he came up with was they had no religion: “As I saw that they were very friendly to us, and perceived that they could be easily converted to our holy faith by gentle means than force”. Columbus believed in the Bible and that was his spread Christianity not only to the Indians but to every civilization. He also treated the natives whom he met in the islands right. When they met a man in a canoe going from Santa to Fernandina, that man requested to be onboard and Columbus caused him on board. He was treated well with bread, honey and drink.
They were very happy to find the codfish, and they knew: this explored action solved so many people’s trouble about food. “The Fisheries about the cod in Canada began in 1497, when John Cabot sailed the Newfoundland and recorded in his ship’s log, the sighting of the abundance of fish.” The historians give this evaluation. The cod fishing in Newfoundland was one of the world's four major fisheries，and there has a legend：When John Cabot dropped anchor off the coast of Newfoundland, his crew reported that they needed only to dip a bucket into the water to catch cod. That’s helped feed the world for centuries to come, in August 1497 John Cabot and his crew backed to London, and people thought he got great fame and glory, but actually he only got £10 for having “found the new isle”, no title and not marked in the history as the second explorer in the world. [The Effect after the First
We are almost out of food and hank has developed and bad cold from the changing spring weather. I cooked up some bean soup and corn bread hoping a full belly and good night sleep will help him finish our journey. We are about a day away from the end of our journey. Hank is feeling a lot better. We were able to get some doves to eat, along with our last cup of rice.
Originally they Mayflower had set sail with another ship known as the “Speedwell” but it began to leak shortly after they left port and it was forced to return. All the passengers moved onto the Mayflower which delayed their movement and made them travel during the height of storm season. Leaving late made the Mayflower's travel across the Atlantic miserable and most of the passengers were so seasick that they could not even get up off the deck of the ship. The colonists who crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower are known today as “Pilgrims.” Once the Mayflower reached they New World they realized that they were just north of where the Virginia Company has granted them
But, after the war his kingdom was ravaged, farmlands destroyed, and his subjects were poorer. It was this failure, the war on many fronts, that lead future Prussian war planners and diplomats to the idea of avoiding a multi-front war. Prussia, while possessing excellent human resources, lacked material resources and money. A great military leader recognizes his nation's limitations and plans accordingly. Catherine ruled through corruption, scandal, political reforms, and land expansion.
Washington took various other steps to strengthen governmental authority, including suppression of the Whisky Rebellion (1794). To unify the country, he toured the Northeast in 1789 and the South in 1791. He fostered United States interests on the North American continent by treaties with Britain and Spain. Although many people encouraged Washington to seek a third term, he was weary of politics and refused to do so. George Washington enjoyed less than three years of retirement at Mount Vernon, for he died of a throat infection December 14, 1799.
