The Complexities of the Pidgin and Creole Languages
As languages are unstable and continually developing, many languages are constantly being
established and becoming extinct. Humanity has a wide array of cultures, and each culture has its
own way of communicating. This may be through symbols, signs, sounds, and most importantly,
words. Language is an attribute that is unique to human beings. If one is not a speaker of the
language being spoken, communication becomes arduous. This has been proven when different
cultures have come across one another, and have tried to find ways to communicate in a
comprehensible matter. This is how Pidgin and Creole languages have evolved. The objective of this
paper is to show that Pidgin and Creole languages are very complex and compelling, and it is clear
that new things are being discovered about these languages at a continual rate. Subsequently, they
are very adaptable to times of change, which is likely an indication of its user both yesterday and
presently.
The central question here is: how did Pidgin and Creole languages develop? Pidgins and Creole
languages are used in developing nations, which ensued in response to the changes in the political
and social environment of the community where they are spoken in. Today, over one hundred
Pidgins and Creoles are spoken around the world (Jourdan, 1991). Bickerton (1976) believes that
most Pidgins and Creoles are based on European languages, primarily on English, Spanish, and
French. According to Harris and Rampton (2002), Pidgins are often

My Hawaii Place
As everyone grows up and learn new things. They also travel and get to see new places. There are
different places that people admire, whether it is close or far. My favorite place that i've been to is
the big island of hawaii. Although I don't go to hawaii that often ,it is still a special place to me . The
first and obvious reason why the Big island of hawaii is my favorite place is because its far away
from the mainland. The other 49 states are both unique and interesting in their own way.However on
the east coast, life can be stressful and busy. In places like NYC and philly drivers always needs to
be somewhere and can't relax or take their time. Not to mention its heavily populated. What makes
Hawaii different from mainland america is that it's far away on an island with not that many people.

The History Of The Aloha State
"The Aloha State" became the 50th state in 1959, but the history of Hawaii goes back centuries
earlier. Roughly 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot on Hawaii
Island. With only the stars to guide them, they miraculously sailed over 2000 miles in canoes to
migrate to the Islands. 500 years later, settlers from Tahiti arrived, bringing their beliefs in gods and
demi–gods and instituting a strict social hierarchy based on a kapu (taboo) system. Hawaiian culture
flourished over the centuries, giving rise to the art of the hula and the sport of surfing, but land
division conflicts between ruling chieftains were common. In 1778, Captain James Cook, landed on
Kauai at Waimea Bay. Naming the archipelago the "Sandwich

Analysis Of The Film Borat
As a kid, I remember reading National Geographic in awe. Every picture captured a different story
that depicted a certain idea about the culture being displayed. While as a child, I did not know any
better, I was contributing to the marginalization and misrepresentation of people and their cultures.
This concept is also know as "Anthro–Lite" in which people tend to focus in on the more "desirable"
parts of the humanity of cultures, rather than the raw truth. Books such as Reading National
Geographic and From a Native Daughter expose these falsifications as well as the nation, America,
who are culprits of such actions. They both dig deep, discussing the ways other regions are
portrayed by Americans, and how problematic the false depiction is for not only the different
nations, but the audience.
In the film Borat, a sort of "mockumentary" with actors such as Sacha Boren Cohen, we experience
the culture of Kazakhstan. Immediately, Kazakhstan is portrayed in a negative light. The village is
shown as impoverished and full of prostitutes and alleged rapist. Of course however, America is
displayed as the "greatest country in the world," in which Borat is leaving his village to go explore.
By the end of the movie, Kazakhstan has developed the ways of America, including Christianity and
technology. This film's efforts to portray America as this superior nation, in turn, makes the region
of Kazakhstan look like the bottom of the barrell. We only get one side of the story. We only

Why Do We Go To Hawaii?
"Patrick!" my brother called impatiently. All that came to my mind were all the wrongs I had done in
the week he was away. As I walked into the kitchen where he was sitting, I saw him smile, which

Couples laughed and embraced on the sandy shores while watching the sunrise, others ran about the

The state of Hawaii is composed of 132 islands, reefs and shoals that extend for over 1500 miles
across the central North Pacific Ocean from the "Big Island" of Hawaii to midway and

The West side of the Island has near desert–like conditions, while the summit of Waialeale is the
wettest spot in the world, with an average rainfall of almost 500 inches per year. Normally, the
rugged, mountainous interior has much more rainfall than the coastal areas where most communities
are located. The Maritime Tropical air mass highly influences Kalalau Valley, Kauai. With its warm
and humid weather that it brings in we see how the Island of Kauai goes from stable to conditionally
unstable. The convectional lifting of the air masses around the Island of Kauai shows how an air
mass passes a maritime source and it causes lifting in the air mass. If the conditions of the Island are
unstable then the lifting is sustained and clouds develop. This is why the temperatures and the
rainfall vary with certain spots. For example, Average rainfall ranges from 35 inches at poipu Beach
to 444 inches at the summit of Waialeale. The general circulation that influences Kalalau Valley is
the Northeast trade winds. The subtropical high and the southeast trade winds affect the valley as
well. Mainly the northeast trade winds and the southeast trade winds influence the state of the
Hawaiian Islands. The Island of Kauai and Kalalaua Valley are located in the Tropical Rainforest
region. The pattern of precipitation and temperature for Kauai between January 1st and December

How To Improve Lilly's Literacy Skills
Based on Lilly's weaknesses I would focus on several skills for her to improve her literacy skills.
The first strategy I would focus on Lilly would be with phonics, she struggles with her long vowels
such as long a, long o, and long i. One way to expose Lilly to long vowels would be with the use of
sight words containing the long vowels she struggles with. Exposing those words for Lilly to hear
and visually see would be very beneficial for her because she would be able to see and hear the
word at the same time. Another method for Lilly to learn her long vowels would be with an activity
called "Long A Matching Puzzle", the child will be given cut cut outs in which they will have to

This activity is great because Lilly will have to look at the picture, identify it by its proper name and
by doing so she will pronounce it allowing her to focus on the sound of the word. By focusing on
the sound and spelling of the word she will begin to recognize the long a vowel for each picture. The
same activity would be used with long vowels i and o, for example she would get a set of cut outs
that she will need to match in the same manner as the previous activity but this time she would be
given an image of a boat, bone, coat, cold for long vowel o. The same activity would also be used
with long vowel i, with images representing a pie, light, night, knight, tie, kite, fight, in which she
would have to match with the correct long i vowel . Since Lilly had several weaknesses such as lack
of motivation/engagement, skipping words, and not achieving fluency I would love to provide her
with an interactive shared reading to improve her weaknesses. An interactive shared reading
experience is a great strategy to encourage the student to join in/share the reading with a book while

Wailuku is located in the North East Part of Maui on the border of the peninsula sticking out to the
ocean. Wailuku in ancient times was home to many ancient hawaiian rulers including kamehameha
(1758 – 1782). In the 19 hundreds Wailuku became the location of the century mission stations and
the birthplace of the great sugar industries. I believe this area was chosen because it separates the

(Garcia, Para 2). This aloha state has become diverse ever since the "plantation days". Numerous
ethnic groups left their homeland and immigrated to Hawaii in order to work in the sugarcane
plantations. Today, the variation of race in Hawaii is a factor that makes it a unique country where

However, tourism is one of the factors that is affecting Hawaii and the native people negatively.
Touristy is associated with cultural diversity. Although it has its advantages, there are also some
drawbacks that makes the idea of tourism in Hawaii a negative thing. Every place in Hawaii is
sacred to Hawaiians but sadly, they no longer have the power to protect every single land. The
number of Hawaiians are decreasing and it is hard for them to object to the things that are replacing
these lands. The territories their ancestors used to own now holds; buildings, hotels, houses,
shopping malls, and many more. With the continuous development of the economy, many
Hawaiians are struggling to preserve their culture. This is not the only thing that Native Hawaiians
had to give up. After being annexed by the United States, it became harder for them to remain in tact
with their culture. When the first Europeans came in contact with Hawaii, Hawaiians were banned
from doing anything related to their culture, including; dancing hula, speaking the language, and a
few other things. The Hawaiian language is a necessity owned by many native Hawaiians but, "The
English language also become dominant due to the Missionary schools and acted as a unifier in
educating many different immigrant groups" ("Introduction", para 2). Not only did they have to

The topic of dialects is one which linguistic anthropologists have spent much time studying.
Distinctions made between an actual language, a sub–standard variety of that language and an actual
dialect are often unclear and the topic of much debate. Recently in the United States there have been
many discussions about Ebonics, or Black English. It has been argued that Ebonics is simply a sub–
standard form and degradation of English, while others feel that it should be recognized as an
African influenced English dialect. One of the most recognizable forms of African–influenced
English is that spoken by the people of Jamaica. Linguists and sociologists alike have studied ...

The original inhabitants of Jamaica were the Arowak Indians, a group separate from any of those
living there today. With the arrival of Columbus in 1494, the Arowaks were introduced to the
Europeans, which soon proved to be fatal. By the time Britain conquered Jamaica in 1655, the
Arowaks were extinct. Under British rule the slave trade flourished. Plantations were set up, and
people from all over Africa were taken from their homelands and brought to Jamaica as slaves.
Slavery was extremely profitable in Jamaica, where the climate allowed for mass plantation
agriculture. While some slaves, termed "Maroons" by the Spanish, escaped and found refuge in the
mountains, those who were forced to work the plantations were also being forced to adapt to their
new environment. In 1834, slavery was abolished in Jamaica through a system where the slaves
would work for wages and eventually buy their freedom. While this idea was theoretically a good
way to displace slavery and bolster the economy, there was simply not enough means to carry it out.
The end result was an enormous gap between the upper class and the newly freed slaves who made
up the lower class. It is this class struggle that has tormented Jamaicans for years.
In 1963, Jamaica gained independence from Britain. However, poverty was endemic, with over half
the population earning only twenty–five dollars a week. At this time all of the money in Jamaica is

word Prayer, but this isn't the whole meaning completely. The whole meaning would be having a
full divine understanding of life and the harmony between man and nature. Lōkahi the second
foundation value is about unity and working together as one whole unit for the better of the society.
The third value is ʻOhana meaning family. Hawaiians think this is the most important of all the
founding values. ʻOhana is not just about immediate family, this means the relationship with their
creator as well. Forth is Poʻokela, this refers to excellence which is not only desirable for Hawaiians
but also very important to any Hawaiian. Second the last is Hoʻomau, this means growth and

Hawaii Creole English By Hawaii Pidgin
Hawaii creole english, or in other words "pidgin," is based on the english language, but also
containing words from many other languages. Some of those languages include Hawaiian, Japanese,
Portuguese, and more. Hawaii pidgin english is widely used in everyday conversations, television
shows, and advertisements. Hawaii creole english was created many years ago, but is used by a large
number of people on the Hawaiian islands, as well as on the mainland. Hawai'i creole english was
first established around the 1800's, when Hawaii started recruiting laborers from all over the globe
to work on the sugar plantations. The laborers consisted of people from China, Portugal, Japan,
Korea, Puerto Rico, Russia, Spain, the Philippines, and other countries (Hargrove, Sakota, and
Siegel 1). Since there were such a diverse group of people, they all spoke different languages.
Which made it hard for them to communicate. Thus, Hawai 'i creole english was soon developed
and became the primary source of communication among all the different ethnic groups (Thompson
1). During the plantations, the children born during that time period were starting to attend school.
That is when many of them first came into contact with standard english, since majority of them
already spoke hawaii pidgin (Scanlan 1). Ever since the plantations, more than half of Hawaiis
population today speak pidgin. Majority of the Hawaii pidgin comes from the english language, but
are also contained from other languages.

The words struck me like a spear going through my heart. I was super pissed at the guard for
stopping us, so my hands just started to fly and hit the guard. My crew and I got mad so we decided
to set fire to the town. Nobody stopped us at first, but when we lit one of the churches, Hawaiian

Language And Communication Essay
Language is shared among all humans, but it is hardly straightforward. As mentioned in our many
lectures, Ferdinand de Saussure described language as "...series of differences of sound combined
with a series of differences of ideas." As such, there is a linguistic influence on our thoughts.
Language is much more than communicating because it can also be representational on how we
think about ourselves and the world that surrounds us. It is because we use language to express our
thoughts, feelings, and ideas, that these communications shape the process of how we think and feel.
It is something that is continuously evolving over time. Some languages can cease to exist, but new
forms can arrive in their place. This is especially so when two different languages make contact.
However, it's not necessarily the languages themselves making contact, but the people who speak
those languages. The world has a history of people migrating to new places around the globe; people
like explorers and nomads and prisoners and slaves who settle in new lands. Through these travels,

Rhetorical Analysis Of Pearl Harbor Speech
Hours after Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan, gaining worldwide headlines, giving millions
unanswered questions, the speech, Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation was given one day after the
event. On December 8th 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a speech to be remembered
today, by using rhetorical devices and figurative language to strongly picture his message to the
public, making great use of parallel structure, personification, parallelism, and climax ordering to
enforce his key point of wanting Americans to stand up against the Japanese forces for the deliberate
actions done towards there peaceful country, with no threat or hint of war or of an armed attack.
With hopes of gathering support for the decision to declare war on Japan. Personification is
commonly used throughout the speech, Pearl Harbor Address, that was given to the nation by
President D. Roosevelt. First off, seen in the very beginning of the speech, "a date which will live in
infamy," is an effective use of personification. Obviously a date can't live in infamy which makes it
personification, he uses it to draw more attention to the date. Later in the speech, Roosevelt says,
"The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves." Roosevelt uses personification here by
saying that facts are speaking, allowing them to further stand out. The first quote works by
describing the day of tragedy to forever be remembered as infamy, readers and listeners are more
aware of the destruction done. Making it seem like their is nothing that they can now do but go to
war with Japan. The second quote works by drawing attention to the facts, in hope of the facts
angering the people in order to convince them to his side. Later, throughout the speech Roosevelt
effectively uses parallelism to try and get more people to support him. To begin, towards the end of
the speech Roosevelt states, "There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our
interests are in grave danger.", Roosevelt starts the sentence with a metaphor, but continues to use
the phrase, our, saying, our people, our territory, and our interests, creating attention for what he is
about to say next, witch is what makes this quote parallelism. Lather in the speech

The Link Between The Term Pidgins Essay
SOCIOLIANGUISTICS
‫الرحيم‬ ‫الرحمن‬ ‫هللا‬ ‫بسم‬
PIDGINS IN SUDIAARABIA Pidgin could be defined as a language that results from two different
people who are not able to speak a each other language so they can interact with and understand
each other.
This is situation can be a result of different circumstances like war, colonization, slavery and
international trade.
Some definitions of pidgins although are pidgins have no static definitions : Ferguson (1971) refers
to pidgins and creoles as simplified speech used to communicate with people who are considered
unable to understand normal speech, such as babies or foreigners. One of the essential points that
should be clarified in this context is the link between the term pidgins. This linguistic variety is used
in the contact between two speech communities from two different linguistic backgrounds (Al–
Azraqi 2010; Al–Moaily, 2008).Bresnan and Roberts (2008:272) state that pidgins 'develop as
auxiliary languages and thus lack native communities, at least initially'.
Although the contact is between two languages, the vocabulary of a pidgin comes particularly from
one dominant language called the 'lexifier' or 'superstrate', while the non–dominant language is
called the substrate (Al–Moaily, 2008; Bizri, 2009; Al–Azraqi, 2010). Pidgins also do not have a
stable grammatical structure and they are usually used specifically among adults for a short period
of time (Al–Azraqi, 2010). However creoles are classified as more

Hawaii's Antithetic Cultures
There are many different factors that affect what Hawaiians eat, and some of them aren't as obvious

Hawaii (unless you go to the tourist places then it will be the most abundant thing that you will

One of the most famous dishes in Hawaii is poi, it is even served in some not Hawaiian fast food
places. Poi, is made from the taro plant's root that have been mashed and mixed with water, giving it
the consistency of mashed potatoes. It was most commonly served underneath the other things on
the plate, much like rice or regular mashed potatoes in other cultures. Taro, as stated by Andwhae
"Grows in patches with cool running water", taro is one of the most common edible plant's on the
Hawaiian islands. It was also very easy to harvest since it was located on the ground and you only
had to forage for it. The most plentiful source of meat that Hawaiians have is fish, the second being
the local wild hogs that inhabited most of the islands. Fishing was a big part of Hawaiian culture and
played a great role in their religion as well. The people who fished (which were men) were one of
the highest roles in society only below the chieftain and holy comunicarii. And, as Hawaii is a tropic
island they have an abundance of vegetables and other plants that they could easily cultivate as a

Toni The Superhero
Toni the Superhero by R.D. Base is a children's picture book that chronicles the daily activities of a
young boy named Toni who sees himself in a superhero persona while going about his favorite

that are in distress. I appreciated the fact that the illustration of him eating didn't include fast food or

player throughout the Pacific. In 2013 HA finished that year with their "sixth consecutive year of
profitability and a record passenger count of 9.95 million." (Hawaiian Airlines, 2014) By the end of
2014 HA will have a fleet of "three ATR–42s, 18 B717s, 10 B767s, and 19 A330s." (Hawaiian
Airlines, 2014) This young fleet will continue carrying passengers on roughly 212 daily jet flights to
"20 domestic and international destinations in the Pacific region" for the foreseeable future. (About
Hawaiian, 2014) So much positive business news however is often balanced out with the negative.
Luckily for HA their positives largely outweigh the negative business aspects. Because HA has
operated so effectively and efficiently for the past six years, it's hard to justify changes to their
current business plan. 2014 is shaping up to be yet another big year for HA keeping in line with the
positive business trends of the past. If past profitability has any influence on the future then HA
seems to be in a great position to remain profitable for the foreseeable future. When looking at the

Growing Up In Ancient Hawaiian Culture
Growing up in an environment filled with a variety of cultures, there are words that mean different
things and are used in different ways. In Hawaii, there is an official language, but there is also a
slang language, "pidgin", that was used during the era where sugar plantations were very popular.
They created this language so that people of different ethnicities could communicate with one
another as they traveled from other countries such as, Japan, China, Philippines, and Korea. Today,
pidgin and the Native Hawaiian language are used amongst the locals allowing us to connect on
another level by keeping our culture alive. Some words, however; have changed since ancestral
times from something innocent to something derogatory and insulting. The word, "haole",

This kind of growth doesn't happen without displacing land, people, animals, etc. Land based
resources, people's culture and historical symbols are often the victims of tourism development in
Hawaii. Many of the major resorts have been built on culturally significant sites. Construction of
tourist related businesses have played a huge part in the destruction of ancient Hawaiian burial
grounds, archaeological historic sites and sacred places. In fact, on the island of Kauai, a well–
known ancient Hawaiian burial ground was excavated to make room for a huge condominium resort
project. Out of 22 acres of sacred burial grounds, only a one acre parcel was left, and human
remains were displaced and moved to make room for the project. This was devastating to the native
Hawaiians who had loved ones buried there for centuries, but seemed to be insignificant to the
tourism industry that seemed only to be worried about their new project and making money.

course developments without regard for the environmental effects of their actions. In addition to

All these reasons result in social interaction between speakers of different language, which helps
predict language contact may result in multilingualism. It is estimated that over half of all countries
are multilingual. An example of a multilingual society is Switzerland with three main languages:
French, German and Italian and each language is dominant area of its own. John Edwards believes
that everyone is bilingual, even if someone can only speak or understand, he believes that you have
"some 'command' of a foreign tongue" therefore there is no clear monolingual country. Therefore
multilingualism is useful in showing how the social interaction between people of different
languages help us predict the linguistic results of language contact as it is an example of what
happens when multiple languages exist and interact in the same country.
In multilingual countries, diglossia occurs, which is the result of language contact and social

Al 1050 English Essay
In AL 1050 Languages in the Pacific I have learned many different concepts that has to do with the
Pacific Rim. It all has to do with languages and how each island or country speaks their own tongue,
but all are similar in some way. In class I have examined historical and contemporary language use
throughout the Pacific Basin, as well as in Hawai`i. Through exploring topics such as the effects of
language contact, pidgins and creoles, and stories of language loss and preservation, and different
cultures. The first concept I am going to talk about is language borrowing. Language borrowing is
basically when you loan a word that is imported into a certain language called loan form. These
forms now function in the grammatical processes, with nouns taking plural or possessive forms of
the new language receiving native morphemes. An example would be the English word alligator.
Alligator came from the Spanish which is el largato. El largato in Spanish means lizard. Loanshift
another process that occurs also known as calque is when adapting native words to the new
meanings. "The verb bad mouth . . . is a calque or loan translation: it seems to come from Vai day
ngatmay (a curse; literally, 'a bad mouth '). The second concept I am going to talk about is language
endangerment. Language endangerment is basically when the language is at risk of becoming
extinct in the near future. Every language face a different level of threat. There are many different
levels of endangerment which

The Complexities of Pidgin and Creole Languages

  • 1. The Complexities of the Pidgin and Creole Languages As languages are unstable and continually developing, many languages are constantly being established and becoming extinct. Humanity has a wide array of cultures, and each culture has its own way of communicating. This may be through symbols, signs, sounds, and most importantly, words. Language is an attribute that is unique to human beings. If one is not a speaker of the language being spoken, communication becomes arduous. This has been proven when different cultures have come across one another, and have tried to find ways to communicate in a comprehensible matter. This is how Pidgin and Creole languages have evolved. The objective of this paper is to show that Pidgin and Creole languages are very complex and compelling, and it is clear that new things are being discovered about these languages at a continual rate. Subsequently, they are very adaptable to times of change, which is likely an indication of its user both yesterday and presently. The central question here is: how did Pidgin and Creole languages develop? Pidgins and Creole languages are used in developing nations, which ensued in response to the changes in the political and social environment of the community where they are spoken in. Today, over one hundred Pidgins and Creoles are spoken around the world (Jourdan, 1991). Bickerton (1976) believes that most Pidgins and Creoles are based on European languages, primarily on English, Spanish, and French. According to Harris and Rampton (2002), Pidgins are often ...

Roughly 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot on Hawaii Island. With only the stars to guide them, they miraculously sailed over 2000 miles in canoes to migrate to the Islands. 500 years later, settlers from Tahiti arrived, bringing their beliefs in gods and demi–gods and instituting a strict social hierarchy based on a kapu (taboo) system. Hawaiian culture flourished over the centuries, giving rise to the art of the hula and the sport of surfing, but land division conflicts between ruling chieftains were common.

  • 10. Analysis Of The Film Borat As a kid, I remember reading National Geographic in awe. Every picture captured a different story that depicted a certain idea about the culture being displayed. While as a child, I did not know any better, I was contributing to the marginalization and misrepresentation of people and their cultures. This concept is also know as "Anthro–Lite" in which people tend to focus in on the more "desirable" parts of the humanity of cultures, rather than the raw truth. Books such as Reading National Geographic and From a Native Daughter expose these falsifications as well as the nation, America, who are culprits of such actions. They both dig deep, discussing the ways other regions are portrayed by Americans, and how problematic the false depiction is for not only the different nations, but the audience. In the film Borat, a sort of "mockumentary" with actors such as Sacha Boren Cohen, we experience the culture of Kazakhstan. Immediately, Kazakhstan is portrayed in a negative light. The village is shown as impoverished and full of prostitutes and alleged rapist. Of course however, America is displayed as the "greatest country in the world," in which Borat is leaving his village to go explore. By the end of the movie, Kazakhstan has developed the ways of America, including Christianity and technology. This film's efforts to portray America as this superior nation, in turn, makes the region of Kazakhstan look like the bottom of the barrell. We only get one side of the story. We only ...

As I walked into the kitchen where he was sitting, I saw him smile, which was rather confusing. "Come, I have something for you." Moving closer, I saw two envelopes on the table. My first thoughts were on what that exciting could fit into an envelope. Knowing my brother, it could be anything small or big. Unable to decide on a fitting assumption, I had to wait and hear from him. He said some words that left me feeling as if I was in a dream. "We are going to Hawaii." My first thought was he was out to prank me, so I just stood there staring at him expecting him to break into a hysteric laugh. Moments passed and nothing from ...

Being quite early in the morning, the water was as still, and the sky was daubed light blue coupled with the bright morning sun. I was amazed at how early, people went to the beach – no one was willing to miss a moment of the breathtaking sunrise. Couples laughed and embraced on the sandy shores while watching the sunrise, others ran about the beach, while others enjoyed a morning swim. Walking down the shoreline, I felt the soft sand squeeze slowly through my toes. As we walked on the outer shoreline near some rocks some people were noisily diving; I suggested that we also join in as they seemed to be having the time of their lives. We went to a nearby stand and hired some diving gear. On the first dive off the edge of the rocks, it was utterly unbelievable.

I read the book through twice myself, then brought my toddler over to read it with me. Not only was he able to immediately recognize many of the images, he seemed quite engaged and excited by them.

The eight main islands of Hawaiian Archipelago include Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Nihau and Kahoolawe (listed in order of size) which extend for only 350 miles at the south–eastern end of the volcanic mountain chain. Hawaii includes some of the earth's largest mountains, rising from oceanic depths of greater than 18,000 feet to a height above sea level of nearly 14,000 feet.

The West side of the Island has near desert–like conditions, while the summit of Waialeale is the wettest spot in the world, with an average rainfall of almost 500 inches per year. Normally, the rugged, mountainous interior has much more rainfall than the coastal areas where most communities are located. The Maritime Tropical air mass highly influences Kalalau Valley, Kauai. With its warm and humid weather that it brings in we see how the Island of Kauai goes from stable to conditionally unstable. The convectional lifting of the air masses around the Island of Kauai shows how an air mass passes a maritime source and it causes lifting in the air mass. If the conditions of the Island are unstable then the lifting is sustained and clouds develop. This is why the temperatures and the rainfall vary with certain spots. For example, Average rainfall ranges from 35 inches at poipu Beach to 444 inches at the summit of Waialeale. The general circulation that influences Kalalau Valley is the Northeast trade winds. The subtropical high and the southeast trade winds affect the valley as well. Mainly the northeast trade winds and the southeast trade winds influence the state of the Hawaiian Islands. The Island of Kauai and Kalalaua Valley are located in the Tropical Rainforest region. The pattern of precipitation and temperature for Kauai between January 1st and December 31st, was between 45 and 70 for temperature in Fahrenheit. The minimum temperature is about 50 ...

The first strategy I would focus on Lilly would be with phonics, she struggles with her long vowels such as long a, long o, and long i. One way to expose Lilly to long vowels would be with the use of sight words containing the long vowels she struggles with. Exposing those words for Lilly to hear and visually see would be very beneficial for her because she would be able to see and hear the word at the same time.

The same activity would be used with long vowels i and o, for example she would get a set of cut outs that she will need to match in the same manner as the previous activity but this time she would be given an image of a boat, bone, coat, cold for long vowel o. The same activity would also be used with long vowel i, with images representing a pie, light, night, knight, tie, kite, fight, in which she would have to match with the correct long i vowel .

We will look at the location, the place, the region, the human/environment interactions, and the movement. LOCATION Wailuku is located in the North East Part of Maui on the border of the peninsula sticking out to the ocean. Wailuku in ancient times was home to many ancient hawaiian rulers including kamehameha (1758 – 1782). In the 19 hundreds Wailuku became the location of the century mission stations and the birthplace of the great sugar industries.

In the article, "Hawaii is Diverse, But Far From a Racial Paradise" they claim that, "Hawaii has the highest racial minority population of any state in the union – 75 percent, according to U.S. census figures" (Garcia, Para 2). This aloha state has become diverse ever since the "plantation days". Numerous ethnic groups left their homeland and immigrated to Hawaii in order to work in the sugarcane plantations.

However, tourism is one of the factors that is affecting Hawaii and the native people negatively. Touristy is associated with cultural diversity. Although it has its advantages, there are also some drawbacks that makes the idea of tourism in Hawaii a negative thing. Every place in Hawaii is sacred to Hawaiians but sadly, they no longer have the power to protect every single land. The number of Hawaiians are decreasing and it is hard for them to object to the things that are replacing these lands. The territories their ancestors used to own now holds; buildings, hotels, houses, shopping malls, and many more. With the continuous development of the economy, many Hawaiians are struggling to preserve their culture. This is not the only thing that Native Hawaiians had to give up. After being annexed by the United States, it became harder for them to remain in tact with their culture. When the first Europeans came in contact with Hawaii, Hawaiians were banned from doing anything related to their culture, including; dancing hula, speaking the language, and a few other things. The Hawaiian language is a necessity owned by many native Hawaiians but, "The English language also become dominant due to the Missionary schools and acted as a unifier in educating many different immigrant groups" ("Introduction", para 2).

Essay about The Jamaican Dialect The History and Sociolinguistic development of the Jamaican Dialect The topic of dialects is one which linguistic anthropologists have spent much time studying. Distinctions made between an actual language, a sub–standard variety of that language and an actual dialect are often unclear and the topic of much debate. Recently in the United States there have been many discussions about Ebonics, or Black English. It has been argued that Ebonics is simply a sub– standard form and degradation of English, while others feel that it should be recognized as an African influenced English dialect. One of the most recognizable forms of African–influenced English is that spoken by the people of Jamaica. Linguists and sociologists alike have studied ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The original inhabitants of Jamaica were the Arowak Indians, a group separate from any of those living there today. With the arrival of Columbus in 1494, the Arowaks were introduced to the Europeans, which soon proved to be fatal. By the time Britain conquered Jamaica in 1655, the Arowaks were extinct. Under British rule the slave trade flourished. Plantations were set up, and people from all over Africa were taken from their homelands and brought to Jamaica as slaves. Slavery was extremely profitable in Jamaica, where the climate allowed for mass plantation agriculture. While some slaves, termed "Maroons" by the Spanish, escaped and found refuge in the mountains, those who were forced to work the plantations were also being forced to adapt to their new environment. In 1834, slavery was abolished in Jamaica through a system where the slaves would work for wages and eventually buy their freedom. While this idea was theoretically a good way to displace slavery and bolster the economy, there was simply not enough means to carry it out. The end result was an enormous gap between the upper class and the newly freed slaves who made up the lower class. It is this class struggle that has tormented Jamaicans for years. In 1963, Jamaica gained independence from Britain. However, poverty was endemic, with over half the population earning only twenty–five dollars a week.

The first one Ke Akua, Mana can most relate to the English word Prayer, but this isn't the whole meaning completely. The whole meaning would be having a full divine understanding of life and the harmony between man and nature. Lōkahi the second foundation value is about unity and working together as one whole unit for the better of the society. The third value is ʻOhana meaning family. Hawaiians think this is the most important of all the founding values. ʻOhana is not just about immediate family, this means the relationship with their creator as well.

  • 32. Hawaii Creole English By Hawaii Pidgin Hawaii creole english, or in other words "pidgin," is based on the english language, but also containing words from many other languages. Some of those languages include Hawaiian, Japanese, Portuguese, and more. Hawaii pidgin english is widely used in everyday conversations, television shows, and advertisements. Hawaii creole english was created many years ago, but is used by a large number of people on the Hawaiian islands, as well as on the mainland. Hawai'i creole english was first established around the 1800's, when Hawaii started recruiting laborers from all over the globe to work on the sugar plantations. The laborers consisted of people from China, Portugal, Japan, Korea, Puerto Rico, Russia, Spain, the Philippines, and other countries (Hargrove, Sakota, and Siegel 1). Since there were such a diverse group of people, they all spoke different languages. Which made it hard for them to communicate. Thus, Hawai 'i creole english was soon developed and became the primary source of communication among all the different ethnic groups (Thompson 1). During the plantations, the children born during that time period were starting to attend school. That is when many of them first came into contact with standard english, since majority of them already spoke hawaii pidgin (Scanlan 1). Ever since the plantations, more than half of Hawaiis population today speak pidgin. Majority of the Hawaii pidgin comes from the english language, but are also contained from other languages. ...

I saw more and different Hawaiians getting paid to refit our ships because the only reason we are here is because of our ship. As I walked closer to them, I saw that they were actually making a lot from our captain. He was practically bankrupt because he gave most of his money to the Hawaiians.

We were all so dizzy we decided to go down to the dock to chill in the beach, but before we could get there a Hawaiian guard stopped us from reaching the beach.

I was super pissed at the guard for stopping us, so my hands just started to fly and hit the guard. My crew and I got mad so we decided to set fire to the town. Nobody stopped us at first, but when we lit one of the churches, Hawaiian enforcers arrived and ruined the fun with their clubs. The first enforcer hit one of our crew mates right in the skull, then took the rest of us into prison. While I was in jail there was a prisoner that would not shut up and was beat to death by the guards. I think his name was something Burns , but he was a good man.

  • 38. Language And Communication Essay Language is shared among all humans, but it is hardly straightforward. As mentioned in our many lectures, Ferdinand de Saussure described language as "...series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas." As such, there is a linguistic influence on our thoughts. Language is much more than communicating because it can also be representational on how we think about ourselves and the world that surrounds us. It is because we use language to express our thoughts, feelings, and ideas, that these communications shape the process of how we think and feel. It is something that is continuously evolving over time. Some languages can cease to exist, but new forms can arrive in their place. This is especially so when two different languages make contact. However, it's not necessarily the languages themselves making contact, but the people who speak those languages. The world has a history of people migrating to new places around the globe; people like explorers and nomads and prisoners and slaves who settle in new lands. Through these travels, many people from different cultures and languages meet, but how can they communicate effectively? What if people are forced to live in a place where no one speaks their native tongue? In these type of situations is what forms a pidgin, or a kind of language used to facilitate contact and relationships between persons of two or more languages.

Rhetorical Analysis Of Pearl Harbor Speech Hours after Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan, gaining worldwide headlines, giving millions unanswered questions, the speech, Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation was given one day after the event. On December 8th 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a speech to be remembered today, by using rhetorical devices and figurative language to strongly picture his message to the public, making great use of parallel structure, personification, parallelism, and climax ordering to enforce his key point of wanting Americans to stand up against the Japanese forces for the deliberate actions done towards there peaceful country, with no threat or hint of war or of an armed attack. With hopes of gathering support for the decision to declare war on Japan. Personification is commonly used throughout the speech, Pearl Harbor Address, that was given to the nation by President D. Roosevelt. First off, seen in the very beginning of the speech, "a date which will live in infamy," is an effective use of personification. Obviously a date can't live in infamy which makes it personification, he uses it to draw more attention to the date. Later in the speech, Roosevelt says, "The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves." Roosevelt uses personification here by saying that facts are speaking, allowing them to further stand out. The first quote works by describing the day of tragedy to forever be remembered as infamy, readers and listeners are more aware of the destruction done. Making it seem like their is nothing that they can now do but go to war with Japan. The second quote works by drawing attention to the facts, in hope of the facts angering the people in order to convince them to his side. Later, throughout the speech Roosevelt effectively uses parallelism to try and get more people to support him. To begin, towards the end of the speech Roosevelt states, "There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.", Roosevelt starts the sentence with a metaphor, but continues to use the phrase, our, saying, our people, our territory, and our interests, creating attention for what he is about to say next, witch is what makes this quote parallelism.

The Link Between The Term Pidgins Essay SOCIOLIANGUISTICS ‫الرحيم‬ ‫الرحمن‬ ‫هللا‬ ‫بسم‬ PIDGINS IN SUDIAARABIA Pidgin could be defined as a language that results from two different people who are not able to speak a each other language so they can interact with and understand each other. This is situation can be a result of different circumstances like war, colonization, slavery and international trade. Some definitions of pidgins although are pidgins have no static definitions : Ferguson (1971) refers to pidgins and creoles as simplified speech used to communicate with people who are considered unable to understand normal speech, such as babies or foreigners. One of the essential points that should be clarified in this context is the link between the term pidgins. This linguistic variety is used in the contact between two speech communities from two different linguistic backgrounds (Al– Azraqi 2010; Al–Moaily, 2008).Bresnan and Roberts (2008:272) state that pidgins 'develop as auxiliary languages and thus lack native communities, at least initially'. Although the contact is between two languages, the vocabulary of a pidgin comes particularly from one dominant language called the 'lexifier' or 'superstrate', while the non–dominant language is called the substrate (Al–Moaily, 2008; Bizri, 2009; Al–Azraqi, 2010). Pidgins also do not have a stable grammatical structure and they are usually used specifically among adults for a short period of time (Al–Azraqi, 2010). However creoles are classified as more ...

In 2013 HA finished that year with their "sixth consecutive year of profitability and a record passenger count of 9.95 million." (Hawaiian Airlines, 2014) By the end of 2014 HA will have a fleet of "three ATR–42s, 18 B717s, 10 B767s, and 19 A330s." (Hawaiian Airlines, 2014) This young fleet will continue carrying passengers on roughly 212 daily jet flights to "20 domestic and international destinations in the Pacific region" for the foreseeable future. (About Hawaiian, 2014) So much positive business news however is often balanced out with the negative. Luckily for HA their positives largely outweigh the negative business aspects. Because HA has operated so effectively and efficiently for the past six years, it's hard to justify changes to their current business plan. 2014 is shaping up to be yet another big year for HA keeping in line with the positive business trends of the past.

  • 56. Growing Up In Ancient Hawaiian Culture Growing up in an environment filled with a variety of cultures, there are words that mean different things and are used in different ways. In Hawaii, there is an official language, but there is also a slang language, "pidgin", that was used during the era where sugar plantations were very popular. They created this language so that people of different ethnicities could communicate with one another as they traveled from other countries such as, Japan, China, Philippines, and Korea. Today, pidgin and the Native Hawaiian language are used amongst the locals allowing us to connect on another level by keeping our culture alive. Some words, however; have changed since ancestral times from something innocent to something derogatory and insulting. The word, "haole", pronounced "hau–lay", was used to describe Captain Cook and his men, today; this word is used to describe Caucasian people and is used as an insult amongst one another. ...

This kind of growth doesn't happen without displacing land, people, animals, etc. Land based resources, people's culture and historical symbols are often the victims of tourism development in Hawaii. Many of the major resorts have been built on culturally significant sites. Construction of tourist related businesses have played a huge part in the destruction of ancient Hawaiian burial grounds, archaeological historic sites and sacred places. In fact, on the island of Kauai, a well– known ancient Hawaiian burial ground was excavated to make room for a huge condominium resort project. Out of 22 acres of sacred burial grounds, only a one acre parcel was left, and human remains were displaced and moved to make room for the project. This was devastating to the native Hawaiians who had loved ones buried there for centuries, but seemed to be insignificant to the tourism industry that seemed only to be worried about their new project and making money. Hundreds of other cultural and historic sites have been bulldozed to make way for hotels and golf course developments without regard for the environmental effects of their actions. In addition to disrupting the environment with huge new buildings, many other sites such as ancient temples, house sites, fishing shrines, ceremonial platforms and agricultural have been turned into tourist attractions and have been misused, abused and disrespected by tourism.

All these reasons result in social interaction between speakers of different language, which helps predict language contact may result in multilingualism. It is estimated that over half of all countries are multilingual. An example of a multilingual society is Switzerland with three main languages: French, German and Italian and each language is dominant area of its own. John Edwards believes that everyone is bilingual, even if someone can only speak or understand, he believes that you have "some 'command' of a foreign tongue" therefore there is no clear monolingual country. Therefore multilingualism is useful in showing how the social interaction between people of different languages help us predict the linguistic results of language contact as it is an example of what happens when multiple languages exist and interact in the same country. In multilingual countries, diglossia occurs, which is the result of language contact and social interaction. This therefore helps shows how the patterns of social interaction between speakers of different languages predict results of language contact as diglossia is a result of this and display the countries multilingualism.

Although I joined this program to save Hawaii's environment, I found myself lodged between cultures when at 4 a.m. Kama woke us to chant. "Why don't haoles respect our culture?" Kama asked Robert.

Then some instinct, prompted me to reach out, "Hey, Kama, can you teach me?" Surprised, he responded, "'E Ala E', it's a prayer, to make the sun rise in the east." He paused, and in a deep and soulful voice, he chanted, "E ala e, ka la i ka hikina." I joined in, as the rest of the team followed. Kama added, "Sing till the sun rises." Then, as the sun appeared, the profound resonance in our voices sent shivers down my spine. Kama turned to me, "Mahalo me ke aloha la [thank you]." Throughout the week, Robert made us work hard. My relationship with my teammates changed, and their demeanor no longer intimidated me. I developed an appreciation for the Hawaiian culture. While Kama and I worked in the forest, he taught me about the native plants, the maile vines that climbed the trees. I learned to make a lei, through Wili, a process of knotting. One day, I wound vines together and went to Kama and said, "I don't know a lot about native culture, but I love this group." As I placed the maile lei around his neck, he said, "Being native isn't about race, it's about attitude. You may not be Hawaiian, but you are Hawaiian in your heart." I realized sensitivity and respect goes a long way. A gesture of friendship overcame barriers. I no longer feared my heritage or theirs. I said to my friend, "Mahalo me ke aloha ...

With English speaking plantation owners and non English workers, the community needed a common language to communicate with each other. Later in 1868 Japanese workers arrived and then in 1907 Filipinos arrived to work in the plantations. By the year 1907 new grammar, syntax, and intonation were added to the growing pidgin language of the immigrant communities(Tsai 1995). Families were created from the plantation workers and eventually had kids and raised them on speaking pidgin, now they speak Creole.

These forms now function in the grammatical processes, with nouns taking plural or possessive forms of the new language receiving native morphemes. An example would be the English word alligator.
