Here is the answer because it comes after the verb
Answer:
The effect I think "The Hook" would have on teenagers in the 1950s would be to not make out at random "Lover's Lane/Cove" type places. Their parents would not have wanted their kids to probably get pregnant and become parents at such young ages, so I guess these "Hook" stories worked in rural areas. Asylum and jail breakouts were common in those times without the types of technology they have today. With this being said, teenagers, today would not believe in this story. Also, I would say gun laws are more lenient than before, depending on a state by state cases, so people can defend themselves more easily. Also, video and live stream technology exist so teenagers today will have an assurance that the attacker will be caught if they are attacked.
John once was a jester
he was always seen as a heckler
but he then met a girl in a dream
she was covered in orange cream
he found this to be extremely interesting
as she found her attire to be frustrating
he made an offer she couldn't resist
as he said he would solve her problem with a flick of the wrist
they both watched closely as he did his trick
he made her feel quite the fool as the watch on hist wrist began to tick
she was filled with wonder at what mysterious act he would do and that feeling soon began to fester
he began to laugh at this cruel trick as he said "I'll always be a jester".
