What is good hook for a contrast essay ? For example the differences between American and British English ?

[@royalmxrie_1846]

No idea.

[@user-pv8lq1ct6x]

This video was very helpful on explaining the steps, but I'm confused on how to write a hook based on the prompt "should countries be ashamed of their past?", do you have an idea that can help me get started?

[@Englishing]

That is a very difficult topic you got there.

[@ConnorJ007]

My only question is that my teacher wants me to get a hook/ get the readers attention, but how am I supposed to do that if I'm comparing and contrasting too depressing poems?

[@Englishing]

Well, then discuss how depressing these poems are. Something on the lines of: Have you ever felt depressed by reading a poem?

[@rikaoka9334]

What is a good hook for contrast essay ? For example, the difference between American English and British English
