Hawaii Volcanoes National Park contains
two active volcanoes at the present time. In
this park is Mauna Loa, the world’s largest
volcano. This park is about 229,000 acres in
area. It was created in 1961 and extends
eastward from the summit of Mauna Loa to the
Pacific Ocean, passing a 30-mile section of the
coast. Mauna Loa is 13,677 feet above sea
level. Its submerged portion rises 20,000 feet
above the seafloor. Kilauea, the park’s other
active volcano, rises from the eastern flank of
Mauna Loa to an elevation of just over 4,000
feet.
Women should be allowed to serve in
military roles that involve fighting. First of all, war
combat does not involve the great strength it once
did. Computer technology, smaller electronic
devices, and other new battle strategies make war
less about strength and more about intelligence.
Women are not fighting rifle to rifle. Some people
insist that women on average have less upper-body
strength than men, making them less suited for
combat. However, some women surpass some men
in upper-body strength. Although opponents feel
forcing women to fight in the military is an
attempt to change people’s attitudes about
women, integrating women into the military is
actually a reflection of current society.
This past weekend I had the time of my
life. First, Friday night, I had my best friend
over and we made a delicious, mouth-watering
pizza. After we ate, we had a friendly video
game competition. On Saturday, my dad took
us out on the boat. The weather was perfect
and the water was warm. It was a great day to
go for a swim. Later that night, we went to the
movies. We saw an action packed thriller and
ate a lot of popcorn. Finally, on Sunday, we
rode our bikes all over town. By the end of the
day, my legs were very tired. I only hope that
next weekend can be as fun as this one.
