LESSON 8-B MODEL THESIS

This is just an example of a thesis which you will have to write for your third essay (SS.7HHK.3.4 and 3.5):
King David Kalakaua's trip around the world served two purposes: 1) to secure immigration to help Hawaii's burgeoning sugar industry, and 2) to create political alliances for protection because of Hawaii's military vulnerability. (i.e., buffer zone).
Early immigrant groups from China, Japan, Portugal, and eventually the Philippines brought aspects of culture (i.e., beliefs, knowledge). When new immigrant groups arrived they faced inequities (unfairness, discrimination) on the job, cultural diffusion, and assimilation into both the Hawaiian and Anglo society.
