The shocking outcome of Kahahawai’s murder trial not only infuriated Hawaiian residents, but destroyed any trust they had with the haole (white elite), calling them “traitors,” and always questioning their “conspiratorial maneuverings” to defend other haole (Rosa, 96-97). The racial hierarchy that created this distrust also served to reinforce a separation between the haole and native Hawaiians, thus leading to many natives questioning their power within their own society. They attempted to identify a “local identity,” which “position[ed] oneself in relationship to power and place,” and found that their self-right to establish pono, or community harmony, was now under the control of the few haole (Rosa, 101). Not only was this insulting and detrimental to native political identity, but caused natives to question their personal identity as well. Even their phrase ‘local,’ used to differentiate themselves from the haole, was problematic.

Imperialism was a controversial idea that a nation can extend its power outward through means of diplomatic or military force. This often results in a shift of power from one major force currently in control to another. The people of that nation under control conflict may also experience wars, rebellions, or cultural destruction.

John Brehm does not mean a geographical body of water, but rather that the way people are unsure about faith and the level of believing, as though one is drifting on water without the reassurance of firm ground beneath his or her feet. The comparison made is people’s faith to a full body of water. In realism world, a sea is a wide and deep body of water as far as the eye can see.

Pablo Neruda's choice of diction and literary devices combine to give off a very calm and soft tone. Neruda, throughout the piece conveys a sense of calmness using sounds and words such as: “sea”, “me”, and “waves . Each of these words fly off of the tongue with ease and grace, similar to how the seas waves are.
