Aloha! Welcome to the eighth volume of Hohonu, the academic journal of the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and Hawai‘i Community College. We are proud of the exceptional academic writing it contains and are pleased to present this publication to the community. Hohonu, meaning “profound” or “deep” in Hawaiian, has once more lived up to its name. With each journal that is produced, we are able to reach higher and attain the goals expressed by our mission statement; for it is the aim of this journal to facilitate in the sharing of fine academic writing and to exist as a reference for those who are looking to learn – whether it be something new about writing, an attitude, a subject, or themselves. I would like to publicly commend the work of our staff. Their commitment, enthusiasm, and love for academic discourse has made Hohonu a reality for yet another year. Jenna Antilla, Chaun Ballard, Lindsay Brown, Haley Bufil, Ellie Christensen, and La‘akea Yoshida – it has been my privilege and I thank you all. Hohonu would not endure every year without the gentle encouragement of our faculty advisor, Professor Luke Bailey. His guidance and dedication to the mission of Hohonu is truly incomparable. We thank him for all that he has done for the publication over the years. A gracious thank you to the student authors for their contributions. It is a brave thing to expose one’s efforts to others and allow your writing to be published for all to see. Hohonu would not be Hohonu without your energy and efforts. Many mahalos to everyone who has helped to make this volume possible. We thankfully acknowledge the assistance of Ellen Kusano and the Campus Center ‘ohana. Their smiling faces and words of wisdom brightened every aspect of the journey. To the Board of Student Publications, we thank you for your continued support. I want to extend a very heartfelt thanks to Susan Yugawa of the UH Graphics Department. Her skills and generosity have been absolutely essential to the success of Hohonu. Hohonu is an asset to our UH Hilo, HawCC, and public community in every sense of the word. Each essay contained within these pages breathes the need and passion for progress and societal growth. Turn the page; come see for yourself. Enjoy! Mahalo nui, Tara Ballard Editor-in-Chief HOHONU Volume 8 2010 - 3
