The average U.S. citizen emits about four pounds of municipal solid waste each day. While this number may seem insignificant, think about approximately four pounds multiplied by our current population of about 318.9 million, or the population of Earth, 7.125 billion. With this in mind, think about all of the other detrimental effects we are causing to our planet. Most humans are not concerned for our planet, nor do we care about other species inhabiting Earth, which may lead us to consider other ways of living, such as Nash’s idea of an island civilization.

The earliest people believed to come to the Hawaiian Islands were Polynesians from the Marquesas and they came between 500 and 750 A.D. Later, in 1000 A. D., the Tahiti came. The Tahiti brought over the belief in gods and social hierarchy, resulting in the hawaiian people following a Kapu system. In `1778, James cook, the first westerner to reach the Hawaiian Islands, paved the way for other explorers to come.

There is no other place I feel more at ease than at Kiawah Island. I have been going to this summer getaway every since I was a baby, and my love for this little island off the coast of South Carolina will never fade. When we roll up the driveway of 90 Jackstay Court, I feel a surge of elation, as I know I will be spending the next week with my family, cousins, and grandparents. I run my hands across the granite countertops where I can already smell the intoxicating aromas of a home cooked meal. First thing in the morning, my cousin and I grab our sand battered bikes, and start pedalling on the boardwalk to the beach. I’m careful on the narrow wooden platform, with the painful reminder of when I fell off into the brush. We hop off our bikes

The House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is a story about a mexican american girl named Esperanza growing up in chicago. Esperanza’s life is similar to mine because we both have an interesting life. But our stories are different because she faces more issues in her life.

“People who live on hills sleep so close to the stars they forget those of us who live too much on Earth.” Esperanza, a small Hispanic girl at the beginning of the book, moves into a house on Mango Street and tells the story of how she grows up then turns into a young woman. Sandra Cisneros uses Esperanza’s first pair of high heels, her first job, and her first sexual encounter to demonstrate a coming of age theme.

The people of the United States had to pick a side during the civil war depending on many factors. They referred to their friends as allies and their allies affected the way they thought, what they believe in, and what they fought for. In 'The House on Mango Street' by Sandra Cisneros, Esperanza's friends on Mango Street were not always her allies and, at times, set a bad example for her. Would Esperanza be the same person as Cathy? What about Minerva, who is much like Esperanza yet so different? Therefore, people in mango street affected Esperanza as she was growing up, especially Esperanza's family, Lucy and Rachel, Marin, and Sally.

The ecosystems supporting the Hawai’ian island’s have cradled me since I first laid eyes on this world, and nurtured me from the time I first began treading over its rugged surface. It wasn’t until my first semester at West Hawai’i Community College while taking a history class under Dr. Stevens, that I discovered our own local ecosystems are in danger of habitat loss. I had always heard about deforestation and the anthropogenic destruction of our environment, but never did I imagine such a beautiful and secluded place like Hawai’i, silently submitting to our neglect. Dr. Steven played a tremendous role in my commitment to restoring Hawai’i’s native ecosystems by orchestrating many restoration events, bringing out the community, and sparking an inner responsibility within me to preserve Hawai’i’s natural beauty.

For this book assignment I decided to read the book The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. Cisneros uses a series of vignettes to tell the story of Esperanza Cordero and a year of her life on Mango Street. Esperanza is a 12 year old Mexican-American girl, or Chicana, living in a congested Latino neighborhood located in the more poorer area of Chicago. The story begins with Esperanza’s family moving to a new house on Mango street which she describes as an upgrade from their previous house but it is still not the home her heart desires. Esperanza has big dreams of eventually leaving Mango Street and owning her own real house with a big yard and multiple washrooms, just like the ones she sees on television. Esperanza’s journey into maturity and development is described through these interestingly written vignettes. She begins writing poetry as a way of expressing the events happening in her life such as developing friends, puberty and sprouting hips, and even dealing with sexual assault. The first half of the book begins with Esperanza wanting to continue to play in her little child bubble but is pushed into the world of adulthood when dealing with the deaths of her grandfather and Aunt Lupe and when she is abruptly kissed by an older man while at her first job. Esperanza also writes about her neighbors and happenings of the neighborhood to paint a picture of the different paths in life that are available to her. She switches her interest to the older women of the neighborhood who each
