In the early 1900s, Waikiki tourism exploded because of two famous American writers, Jack London and Mark Twain, writing about their Hawaiian surfing experience.

Tom Blake manufactured the hollow board, making surfboards lighter, faster, and more publicly assessable. In Malibu, California, surfing was seen as glamorous by Hollywood celebrities.
This coast, starting a hundred and forty-five kilometres south-east of Rome and extending downwards beyond the Bay of Naples, gave Ancient Rome its first good sea-front, its first window upon the Mediterranean, its first idea of becoming a world state. And behind the coast, stretching back to the Apennine range, is a plain which is incredibly favoured by nature. Traversed by two fairly important rivers and fanned by moist south-westerly winds, this territory of spongy volcanic earth, rich in phosphorus and potash, enjoys relatively mild and short winters, and the soil retains enough of the abundant seasonal rainfall to escape ill-effects from three months of summer drought. Campania is alien to the desiccated Italian south—and alien to the modest conceptions of visitors from northern lands. In ancient times, when this was the chief granary of the peninsula, some districts already produced as many as three grain crops every year, in addition, often enough, to a catch-crop of vegetables as well.
“In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He had three ships and left from Spain; He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.” This isn’t the exact rhyme since there are different versions, but this is one of the most commonly used rhymes.” This paper will be on how Howard Zinn shines a light on his unique perspective of the interactions between Columbus and the Arawak’s in the first chapter of “A People’s History of the United States.” One of the main reason Columbus wanted to go on an expedition was to become wealthy. He purely wanted to find gold and spices. Zinn mentions that if Columbus succeeds on his expedition he would receive three rewards. The rewards are a new title as Admiral of the Ocean Sea, he would receive ten percent of any
Coney Island's three big luxury hotels, the Manhattan Beach, Oriental and Brighton Beach were the epitome of a gracious and leisurely age, a unique expression of their era. They were long rambling wooden structures, 600 to 800 feet in length with deep verandas (porches) reaching down their entire length. They faced the sea but were set back by wide green lawns decorated with beds of geraniums and lobelias, and had broad curving walks. These gracious hotels became more and more popular with each day.

Point one: “Rip Van Winkle” takes place in a pleasant village at the foot of New York’s Kaatsberg (Catskill) Mountains in the years before and after the American Revolutionary War. These mountains have always been revered as mystical and and have also been in many stories and short tales regarding a magical presence.
