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.

I NEED AN ARGUMENTATIVE LETTER WITH EVIDENCE AGAINST SCHOOL DRESS CODE(not uniforms) WILL GIVE BRAINIEST
kozerog [31]

Answer:

this will not be as good but feel free to modify (i wrote this in like 10 minutes)

Explanation:

   Plenty of schools around the world have dress codes. Although dress codes will guide students to wear appropriate clothing, dress codes can also be a pain to students in the mornings.

    Many scholars wear inappropriate clothing to schools. Dress codes have been made to prevent this from happening. Although dress codes have their own perks of not having students wear inappropriate clothing, they can make students' mornings more uncomfortable. Waking up early in the mornings can be difficult for some, now imagine that with having to measure out clothing. Students who can't afford to clothe may need to just get dress coded. There are many solutions to avoid this problem in both ways.

      Uniforms have been going around schools. Although they may not satisfy every student's style, they do bring one solution to the struggles of mornings. Some teachers may find this a little bit easier to spot the trouble makers as well. They can easily spot the students not wearing the uniforms and dress code them, rather than trying to measure everything by eye.

      Dress codes can have their own perks of letting the students choose their own clothing with a bit of a guideline. Having to struggle in the morning to find clothes that fit the dress code standards can take up time and result in being late for school. Uniforms are one of many solutions to this problem. Although they do not give students much of a choice, they can solve the issue with both the students and teachers.
