Essay
Latrell and I chose The Bahamas because we are both from there. The Bahamas is an archipelago made up of 700 islands and cays. From those islands and cays, I am from Nassau, which is the capital. Nassau is home to one of the many tourist attractions, such as Atlantis.
In The Bahamas, we are known for our culture. Our culture consists of our tasty dishes, our alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and lastly our cultural festival, Junkanoo. Junkanoo is very popular culture for The Bahamas, around Summer, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day.
The Bahamas has beautiful waters, where you can find the most exotic fishes. One fish is the Blue Marlin, which is our national fish. There are not many, but you can find maybe 2 on a blue moon, in the waters of Bimini Island.
(Latrell Taylor)
The second city of The Bahamas is known as Freeport, back in 2019 the city was devastated by a hurricane, Dorian. Thousands of lives were lost and hundreds of hearts were broken. Despite all the tragedy, Bahamian people are some of the most resilient people I know. Through time and time again we continue to show our strength, thus letting everyone know that we are the best little country in the world!
The national flower of this beautiful country is the yellow elder, this flower can be found all over Grand Bahama. The flower is bright yellow with normally 5 petals, they tend to be bunched up with other flowers most of the time.

Hawaii
Hawaii is a group of volcanic islands in the central Pacific Ocean. The land area of the state of Hawaii consists of the tops of a chain of emerged volcanic mountains that form 8 major islands and 124 islets, stretching in a 1,500-mile crescent from Kure island in the west to the island of Hawaii in the east. The islands lie 2,397 miles from San Francisco, California, to east and 5,293 miles from Manila, in the Philippines to the west. The capitol is Honolulu, located on the island of Oahu.
Hawaii is economically vigorous, with diversified agriculture and manufacturing. Plants that we researched and found interesting are bizarre and unique.

Bradley Allen, Halutie Hor, Robertmaasai mara
The maasai mara is home to the world most beautiful Animal, located in Kenya, this area is one that may visitors enjoy visiting to view, study and enjoy the company of the animals. We have Zebras, Lions, Elephants, hippos, tigers, and a lot more. During the dry season the animals relocate to another side of the maasai mara for water and food. Over the years these animals not only live together but depend on each other for food and water. One could enjoy the beauty of nature if they were to visit the maasai, if they were to visit. Not to mention seeing the tall lovely giraffes that wonder through the bushes, peaking over the tallest trees in the forest.
Sometimes the Animals would go by the homes of the villagers that lives in close proximity to them, the interaction of humans and animals are such a divine thing to see. As for the climate sometimes day time temperature rises to 73 degrees fahrenheit. (23degrees Celsius. Average annual rainfall is about 1 meter per year. 80% of the rainfall occurs in the wet season. The people living in the Maasai Mara are warriors, there are many dominating tribes in this area and one popular one is the bright red robes tribe.The people enjoy a fairly dependent living as they work together hunting to bring food to the table for each other.
