A nice Connection That I found was that The Queen was just like Martin Luther king Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. Loved all the people who would do things right like the Black skinned people, They all were treated the same Unlike the White skinned people, They thought that they were better than the dark Skinned. He would love the Dark skinned people Because they Loved each other for who they are Just like Lili’uokalani. She Yielded her throne for the Hawaiian people so they would be no Bloodshed between the U.S. Goverment and The Hawaiians. Both of them didn’t want anyone to get hurt just because Some people would think that they have a better view at things. If you ruled the State of Hawaii and Some other State decided that you shall be taken off of your throne, Would you send people to go and kill them? Imagine how many kids are terrified that there parents goes to war and never comes back because of death. Every person is IMPORTANT no Matter how Old or even if they have something that effects there looks or thinking, Nobody Should Die. I Wouldn’t send anyone to war, I would do something about it but with out war. How about you, What would you Choose to do?
A Connection between the Quote and my life, This is what I have to share. Most People Love other people for either Stuff, Cash, or Even Popularity but Guess what I like people for……. I Like people for the person they truly are, What their own personality is. Most people try to Be cool by Being mean to other people
But Think about that, 80% of the people who are not being bullyed by popular people think that you are trying to get attention by Being mean but that only makes you a Fake you. The real person would respect everyone and not try to make most of the Kids look up to you as someone Mean who gets a lot of attention. He/She would have friends and always work as a team, Friends are the #1 Key to Love and Education.You can learn many things from them Like My great Friend Kahiki, He’s there to make me laugh and he always say thing that Give me that Warm Fuzzy Feeling of great Friendship! He teaches me that Being nice to others and respecting them for there qualites, makes you a better person. Don’t Be afraid, Step up, Find someone who cares about you and for your qualities Just Like how Martin Luther King jr. wants life to be and we can Do that By LOVING and not being GREEDY or a BULLY, Work as ONE TEAM! Make a Change in someones life by showing a simple way of Love!
“I believe the unharmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality”
I think this relates to Lili’uokalani because it’s tring to say that when there’s problems and the only to solve it is fight but when you choose the Pono thing it will change and will come true in reality. This connects to lili’u because when she was getting overthrown the only way they would solve it is to have a fight or do something to hurt eachother. Lili’u chose the Pono thing and surrenderd to the her people and the united states and the became and is remembered in reality.
This quote connects to me at home / school by when I have to do work I have stress and sometimes for me to get it I really just to push myself into doing that or to fight with myself but I sometimes and try to do the Pono thing by asking for help and when I do that it sets a very good example and it can be used for people who really need help on their homework or classwork this to me is already reality.
I think that this quote can connect to Queen Lili’uokalani because she was a women of peace and tried to avoid collisions with violent drastic decisions. For example when she was given the decision to either give up her throne with no bloodshed or keep her throne while being in war with the missionaries. And that had showed that she cared more about her people than her throne and power over the land that was and always will be hers. This relates to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote because she had unconditional love she showed and received from her generous and thoughtful decision.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote relates to my personal life style because as a student of the Kamehameha Schools Of Hawaii. When your teachers expect an excuse for why your home work isn’t completed or why it’s not turned in to them. So they expect to know the truth, the REAL truth and not no fluff as Mrs. Ah Hee would call it . Then that could result as respect and love from teachers, it’s as simple as that just tell the truth and you’ll go far.
Dr. King thought exactly like Queen Liliuokalani. And they were both in very similar situations. Here are their similarities. Liliuokalani was the Queen and leader of the Hawaiian people. I guess you could call Dr. King the leader of the African Americans. He led them in protest of treating African Americans like savages. But that was back then and now, President Barack Obama is our leader and he’s an African American and Hawaiian too. Anyway, another similarity is that the Queen did not want bloodshed. So did Dr. King, but he on the other hand wanted to fight (not physically) until the African Americans were free from being treated like wild animals. The Queen did not give up protesting, and neither did Dr. King. They were both against Americans, and they both had people that were being treated unfairly. And they both were perfect and terrific leaders.
I cannot think of a personal connection right now, but I can try to say what Dr. King’s speech meant. In Liliuokalani’s case, James Blount wrote down 2000 pages of the truth, and nothing but the truth. And of course they would have won back the throne, but Mr. Dole (isn’t Dole and brand for fruit?) and friends “illegally overtook the throne for their greed and own personal financial gain.” But the thing is, even though they lost the throne, they didn’t lose the will to fight another day. And in the end, they knew the Annexation Club didn’t put up a fair fight. Not at all. And really in the end, they had won.
1 important event that I can pick out from Liliʻuokalaniʻs life to connect to this quote, (which I think is a great one) would have to be during the times of the overthrow, and saying what she said must have been so hard… As the kindom was getting overthrown by the committee of safety, whose Minister Mr. Johns Stevens caused the troops on the U.S.S Boston which consisited of 162 troops land on Hawaii and face armed against ʻIolani Palace. Some of the royal troops and other people were so upset about this situation that they wanted to fight against these troops of the United States. But the Queen told them, I donʻt want you to fight, NO bloodsheds! She wanted them to be unarmed, she wanted them to be strong, but did not want them to fight. It didnʻt turn out perfect in reality cause thatʻs just how the world is, but now it is having the final words, expecially in the song Kaulana Na Pua, which was written by very angry people in the royal band and the Queen told them to express their feelings in a different way then fighting… Queen Liliʻuokalani was a very peaceful person and this quote expresses a lot on what Liliʻuokalani expected of her people!
I personally can connect to this quote because I donʻt like when our world seems like a scary place because were afraid of being harmed, because of people that fight armed with weapons (not including our troops)! It just seemes that the world should be a peaceful place for all humaniy. In the future I want to be someone that can bring peace and love to as many people as I can, and I hope that that will change the world and that, that will have the final words in this battle for peace! I think many people ecspecially God wants us to find our peace and love that is unconditional just like his and share it with everyone around us. We all want the world to stop fighting we want the world to be love. But whose gonna make that happen, well all of us. We need to go into the world and CHANGE THE WORLD, we need to make it final in reality and we need to be pono, and live pono, and that is exactly what iʻm going for!!
Matching Lili`u to Dr. Kings saying:
I think that Lili`u can relate to Dr. Kings saying because, she would love everybody and always show and tell the truth. She was also a strong christian from a young age. In Dr. Kings saying, ment Gods truth and love. Lili`u was just like God but not. She showed LOVE and she always showed and said the TRUTH.
Matching Me and Dr. Kings saying:
I think that I can relate to his saying because I am a christian and I care, and love people. I may not always love or care for a person, but I thought that I need to do on to other as you would want them to do on to you. When I thought about that I can tell the TRUTH, LOVE each other, and CARE for each other. Just like how God did to us. Because God LOVED us, I love others and Him.
People will recognize the truth and equality will shine through. Liliuokalani wanted equality for her people. She never argued when people imprisoned her in her own palace. She also didnt want Hawaiian blood shed. She loved her people so much. And she also always told the truth
This connects to my because I love my family. All I need to do to connect to this quote is the unharmed truth part. I sometimes lie. I think this means that if you tell the truth and that you love others and you don’t expect them to love you back.
I think that Martin Luther king Jr.’s quote relates to Lili’uokalani. Why? This is so because Martin Luther King’s quote meant that the truth and everlasting love is the key to life and Lili’uokalani didn’t want any bloodshed amongst the missionaries and her people. She wanted love and the real truth in her Hawaiian kingdom. She did not want lives being sacrificed for the Hawaiian monarchy.
This quote could relate to me because I don’t lie and I show everlasting love to my family and friends, just like the quote. I show everlasting love especially with family. I show love to my mom by helping her around the house and keeping it clean and tidy. I show aloha to my sister by talking to her when times are tough for her. By telling the truth and by sharing my eternal love with others, I can have the key to life.
Lili’u believed that if you do things in a non-violent way, anything is possible. This quote means that. Both her and Dr. King believed that words are more effective than fights because when people die, you realize that it wasn’t worth the fight. There are less deaths in talking. Also, this quote means that in the end, the last decision goes to God. Both people were Christians. The final thing was that it shared what he believed. Lili’u shared what she believed.
This connects to me because I believe that the best way to do something is without fighting. I think that this quote means if someone affends you, you should tell them about it so that they don’t do it again. What I get from this quote is to never go on the offense for something. Always be polite and never lie. That is my connection to this quote.
I think that this quote means that when you say the straight out truth, you will be the one who is right in the end. “Uncondiional love” might mean loving others no matter what. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke and campaigned for justice, and he loved people equally. Queen Lili’uokalani also spoke the truth and always loved her people. Being unarmed could mean two things. One is not denying the truth, and the other is not being violent. Martin Luther King Jr. and Queen Lili’uokalani were both non-violent and honest. Lili’u's people instead wrote songs, and wore armbands to support their queen. Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers walked through the streets to support non-seggrigation.
I can connect to this quote because I also believe that the people who really know how to love others and don’t deny the truth will also be the people who are correct and pono. If I want to support a person for the Student Council, I don’t say bad things about the other people running for Student Council or knock them out at recess. Doing that won’t help anyone. If I want to support an idea in class, I say that it sounds like a great idea! (it’s not like we can march down the sidewalk saying “so and so should be the leader!”)Being non-violent might actually help you gain supporters. Anyway, who would want to follow someone can punch a person and not loose any sleep over it? I do think that Martin Luther King Jr.’s statement is correct, and everyone should learn from it.
This was a good quote Mrs. Ah Hee. If I were to connect this quote to Lili’uokalanis life would be ……….. When she wanted to amend the bayonet constitution. She wanted her people’s voting rights to never be taken away, so she stood up for herself and her people so that the entire Hawaiian Monarchy could vote. Another thing that ties in with this quote is when she broke her leg as a kid. This quote means to stay strong in what you believe in and to never give up. When her leg was injured, she did not let anyone else know or show them that she had a weakness, although the injury was permanent. She would not give up, and that she would only continue, to be a very wonderful, strong, and brave leader.
This quote can also connect to me because when I was smaller than I am now, my half sister would visit every single weekend, but after a while, she barley came. Now, the last time she came was about 2 years. I am still very sad, but not as much as I was. Sure, I don’t see her, or get to talk to her, but I know that one day, she is coming back home. Another way I can connect to this quote is when I hurt my leg at the beach. I was 6, so, as expected, I shed about 1, or 2, or maybe more. I scraped my leg on a rock and by the time I was sitting on my beach chair, just ready to eat that delicious shave ice, I noticed a little, more like a lot, of blood on my knee, and leg, and toes, and that’s pretty much every we’re the blood was. It was very painful, trust me, but it eventually felt a lot better. I went the rest of that month with a sore leg, but didn’t let it bother me, like when Lili’u didn’t let her leg bother her.
This quote said by Martin Luther King, Jr. connects to Lili`u, because she believed that when the United States learned all of the facts and heard all of the people of Hawaii’s point of view on her overthrow she would eventually be reinstated and the rightful queen of Hawaii. In other words that the truth will come out that it was an illegal overthrow and will change reality. In the end President Bill Clinton wrote law 103-150 apologizing to all of the Native Hawaiians for the illegal overthrow of their Hawaiian monarchy.
This quote connects to me because, my parents and ohana love me unconditionally and by that they teach me to be the same way. It is important to love your family unconditionally because they are there for you 150% of the time. They are there for you when your friends can’t be and when you get hurt. Even when my family argues or fights we still love each other and in the end it all comes down to loving and caring about one another no matter what.
I think one fact about Liliuokalani that connects to this saying was when the committee of safety started to bring weapons into the conflict of trying to take over the Hawaiian kingdom. She was worried because she wanted to avoid her peoples bloodshed so the queen loved her people so much that she allowed herself to be overthrown and she couldnt be in touch from the outside world but she kept thinking about her people. Around December 1893 James Blount gives a 2,000 page extensive fact collective on the Hawaii and in that it showed that the committee of safety illegally overthrew Hawaii and its queen. President Cleveland was mad at congress and their conspirators for their acts against Hawaii. A few years later president bill Clinton apologized for their illegal acts .so when Liliuokalani choose to not use force in the end she got the final word.
I think I connect to this quote as a Hawaiian from the history of Liliuokalani because she taught us Hawaiians to not fight because that isn’t the solution. With the truth good things will come to you. Although if you choose the wrong decisions you will get consequences just like the committee of safety when they were caught for illegally overthrowing Hawaii. With a great love for something just like Liliu had a love for her people you can get through anything. I think that if you have a pure heart like Lili’u in the end you’ll get the last word.
Martin Luther King jr’s quote relates to Liliuokalani and how she was steadfast and cared for her people. One example is that queen Liliuokalani took her thrown to avoid bloodshed to all of her people. In other words she loved and cared for her people, that she would rather be prisoned in her palace then have her people suffer and die.
Martin Luther King jr’s quote relates to me and how i am truthful and do as I am told. Also to do it with quality and my full effort. The quote to me means that if you set a goal and are trying to meet it, try your hardest and do not let anything get in your way. If you are having difficulties do not let it hold you back. You should try and face it and don’t let it bring or hold you down.
To me this quote means that eventhough people use guns and amal, which is not pono, the people on the other side of that argument should stop and choose the right thing and to have international love or never lasting love for everyone and it will get past on for millions of years. It starts with you to make a difference.This connects to Lili’uokalani because Lili’uokalani didn’t want bloodshed to her people, she wanted them to be safe. That is the love and heart Lili’uokalani showed for her people. She said she would rather have death for herself, but never to her people and this got carried on to lots and lots of others and changed the world!
This quote relates to me because when my friends are feeling down, I make them peppy and cheer them up untill they have a smiles on there faces, but sometimes i go out and hug and cheer up others. Me and my mom would go and donate clothes to the salvation army and to many other places. We would go and serve food to the homeless, which i love to do. By doing things with everyone hand in hand, meaning together as a team, no I’s but we together can make a difference!!
If I were to connect Lili’u to Dr.Martin Luther King jr’s quote, it would be that she always told the truth and was honest. She is a good hearted queen. Thats why so much people admire her. That is why she is a great queen. For me she is my inspiration. From now on I will do my work and do it with quality. During her life she always told the truth. For example, when guards found weapons and ammunition in her garden she was telling the truth, but they didn’t belive her.
If I were to connect this to me it would be that, if that I always tell the truth i will still have peoples trust, but if i lie, that will make it worse. If you do something bad and you tell the truth you will get in trouble but you will have trust. I learned that the hard way, and i am not looking foward to doing that again. I have learned my lesson. If you are always honest you will have a good heart and you feel good inside.
“I believe the unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality,” means to me that you have to be truthful to one another and love them with or without their mistakes. Although they were attacked by others , they did not get violent, but they stayed humble and firm in what they believed in. Even though she was imprisoned, she was patient. She was also faithful that the united states government would help her. The man who spoke in the Queen’s favor interviewed people in Hawaii, and they told him about the illegal overthrow. He then reported it to the united states government. This is how Queen Liliuokalani relates to Martin Luther King Jr.’s saying.
I agree with Martin Luther King Jr.’s thoughts. I don’t like violence and I would rather negotiate things out. Unconditional love is important because we need to love each other in order to work things out. I relate to Queen Liliuokalani through her perseverance because I believe you have to keep going in order to achieve your goals. No matter how hard it is I need to keep going.
I think this connects to Queen Lili’uokalani because they were both thinking of others he fought for human equality rights. Lili’uokalani fought for her rights for her hawaiian people and the land of her Ali’i. They both knew what was good for there people and both were Onipa’a! Also both had unconditional love! Martin Luther King Jr. thought that black and white should be treated the same way! Queen Lili’uokalani did not want hawaiian bloodshed for her people and the population to go down! Then no Hawaiians!
This quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. connects to Lili’uokalani because Lili’uokalani loved her people and would always choose the best decisions for them. When Lili’uokalani became overthrown, her people thought, “Why are they doing this to her”? If you look back at that time, you would think, “Is that the truth”? You would think that The Committee Of Safety overthrew Lili’uokalani because she did something wrong; which she didn’t. Lili’uokalani had unconditional love for her people and her land.
This quote also connects to me because sometimes I lie to my parents, and in the end they find out the truth. This quote talks about telling the truth. Sometimes I tell the truth, and sometimes I don’t. Once, I lied about doing the dishes. My parents got a little mad at me. I lied about doing the dishes and I got in trouble. Then my parents had to make me clean the dishes. Now, I tell the truth because if yI don’t, I’ll get into more trouble.
Queen Liliu’okalani had unconditional love for her Hawaiian people. She showed this when she told them not to battle for her throne. She even gave up her throne forever to save some royalists who were going to be executed. Queen Liliu’okalani said that she would take death for herself, but never the death of her people. When her cabinet wouldn’t approve the new constitution, Queen Liliu’okalani was humble and asked her people to leave peacefully. When she yielded her throne to the United States, Queen Liliuokalani said it would only be until a later time when all the facts would be reviewed. These actions were examples of unarmed truth.
I believe that unarmed truth is not forcing truth upon others. It is speaking it kindly and letting your actions reveal the truth. When I have a disagreement with my brother I try to have a peaceful mind and speak with kind words. This is hard to do. Unconditional love is to love someone no matter what, you might even die for them. I know my mom loves me unconditionally because she would help me anytime and anywhere no matter what, even if it was dangerous.
I know that the quote “I believe the unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality” can connect to Lili`uokalani. It connects to her because she is a humble loving person who fought for what she believed in peacefully. It also connects to Lili`uokalani because when she fought for what she believed in she didn’t harm anyone. At the same time she shared the truth. She also showed unconditional love. So her words became real. I know the quote that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote connects to Queen Lili`uokalani.
I know the quote “I believe the unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality” connects to me personally. It connects to me because sometimes I can be shy and quiet. But I do say what I have to say in one way or another. when I share what I have to say I share the truth. When I share the truth I am not harming anyone. I am sharing unconditional love. So I can make the truth become a reality.
“I believe the unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality” ~ Martin Luther King (1929-1968). The connection I see with Dr. Martin Luther King and Queen Lili’uokalani was that the way the Queen handled the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was one of truth and even through the difficult times when the committee of safety challenged her, she treated them with respect and unconditional love. She never wanted any bloodshed for her people and she chose to be a good example and gave her people “pono” advice to keep the peace. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. felt the same way and treat everyone with dignity and respect. He wanted his people to be treated fairly and always spoke the truth. The connection between them were that they both were honest people who loved everyone and always was truthful.
A connection that I have with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s quote is that telling the truth is always the way to go. Loving people even when they are unlovable is the “pono” thing to do. Whenever I am faced with a difficult situation, I will always tell the truth and love everyone because everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance.
