because of its adventurous themes. Among his most
noted works are “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and
“The Huckleberry Finn”.
You have to listen to the selection carefully for I will give

a place affect the people‟s way of life?
- The Sandwich Island
- Samuel L. Clemens
- Two thousand miles
- beach, trees, cabins, and Honolulu
- Hawaii
- San Francisco
- In terms of the houses, Hawaii has
simpler and less sophisticated
dwellings compared to those in San
Francisco, people are comely in
nature and clothes are cool and
refreshing to the eyes, Hawaii is rich
in flowering plants that smells so
fragrant, women are dressed in fine
clothing not like in those of San
Francisco‟s “roughs and rowdies”,
streets are filled with happy people
not busy ones, and the scenes are
pricelessly more beautiful than the
Golden City‟s.
- It means that sitting in front of that
wonderful scene provided by the
“perfumed air” and all, is a
remarkable feeling someone would
not want to end.
- Answer may vary.
- If the place you live in is peaceful
and clean and bountiful, your
physical as well as emotional state
will also be filled with positive
energy.
5. 11. Based from the description given by Clemens, what can you
conclude about Hawaii? How did you arrive in that conclusion?
So basically, we make conclusions by making a judgment
or an opinion or a decision after considering all the
information read fused with our prior knowledge or our
knowledge of the subject.
Do you now understand the selection?

7. THE HISTORY OF HAWAII
The first settlers came across the ocean from the Marquesas Islands, a group of islands in the south east
almost at the equator. They came in big canoes, 100ft long, with twin hulls, whose sails were made of the
fiber of coconuts. They brought the first domestic animals with them - pigs and chickens.
Other Polynesians followed in the 13th or 14th centuries. They came from Tahiti. A feudal system with
powerful chiefs (the later kings), priests and ministers developed who ruled the four bigger islands.
In 1778 the English Captain Cook discovered the islands. He called them Sandwich Islands after his
superior, Sandwich, the first Lord of the Admiralty. (An Earl of the family of the Sandwichs, John
Montagu, invented the buttered toast which has been called sandwich to the present day. (The Hawaiian
Islands, however, show only a remote connection with sandwiches) Anyway in some nautical charts you
can still find the Hawaiian Islands as "Sandwich Islands".
The relationship between Cook„s sailors and the natives was very friendly in the beginning. They
exchanged coins, muskets and nails for drinking water and meat. The sailors had no problem to get into
contact with the female population. They were fascinated by their beauty whereas the Polynesians were
attracted by the utensils made of metal they saw on the two strange ships. Unfortunately they pinched
some of them. Cook was really upset about this and he had the Hawaiian chief, Kalaniopuu, arrested. As a
reaction to this the indigenous people stabbed him to death.
In spite of all this the islands became an important base for international shipping routes.
