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.

I think at the time most teenagers would believe it and be scared. This would probably encourage them not to go out. This story might not have the same affect today because these days Americans are so stubborn and once they believe in something, they won't or don't want to change that perspective. If you try to offer a different perspective, they see that as an attack. Today, teenagers think that these things/dangers might not happen to them so they tend to be careless.

identify examples of personification and the effect that they have on the meaning and tone of the text
evablogger [386]
You will need to provide the text that you are analysing for a specific answer, but basically, you are looking for any time where the author has used describing words that you would use for humans on object or animal, or where the author is making the object/animal use human characteristics like speech.
the effect that this may have on the piece could be that it creates a friendlier atmosphere if the object/animals are described in a positive and useful way but it can work in reverse as well.
