After watching the film, "Hawaii's Last Queen," you should have a
better understanding of imperialism and the motives that cause strong
nations to overpower weaker nations. You saw Queen Liliuokalini's
unsuccessful struggle to keep her Hawaiian people independent of foreign
rule. You witnessed her faith in the American government as she gave up
her throne with optimistic thoughts that her power would be restored in
the near future. As we know, this was not the case. Hawaii was annexed
as an American territory in 1898 and eventually became the 50th state in
1959.
In your reflection of the film, give a response with a
summary (paragraph length) describing how Americans gained political and
economic power in Hawaii. Be sure to include specific details about the
missionaries, Queen Liliuokalini's childhood, foreign influences on
Hawaiian culture, etc. Use your video question sheet and answers to help
with this paragraph.
In addition, write a short paragraph on the
way the story was portrayed through the Queen's perspective. You often
heard excerpts from her diary that described her thoughts and feelings.
Was this an effective way to tell the story? Do you think the program
tried to persuade viewers to sympathize with the Hawaiian queen and
people? Be specific in your argument.
