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.

How does the author’s discussion of pow wows at the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation contribute to the text
zubka84 [21]

The author's discussion of the Pow wows shows how the indigenous culture is rich and must be preserved, even if it follows the evolution of society.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The author shows how the Pow wows are very beneficial gatherings for the native tribes.
  • He reveals that these meetings are moments of celebration, where the native culture is presented, respected, and admired.
  • He also claims that the Pow wows have changed over time, following social evolution, but that they maintain traditions efficiently so that the culture is not lost.

This shows the reader how indigenous traditions are rich and can be very useful, fun, and important not only for the natives, but also for other citizens who recognize the importance of the tradition.
