On November 15, 1969, two hundred and fifty thousand people gathered in Washington D.C., to protest the Vietnam War. In England, the demonstration was broadcast on television. John Lennon watched as the enormous gathering of people, stretched as far as the eye could see, sang his song. He was amazed. They seemed to sing "forever, and not stopping," he said. "It was one of the biggest moments of my life."
In the months and years to come, his song would fill the air at rallies, marches, and candlelit vigils around the world. In a flash of inspiration, John had written an anthem for the peace movement.(Elizabeth Partridge)
I chose this as a hook for my book because it has the proper start to it that would normally be used to hook people to read a book, like those things that are in the front flap or on the back cover. There is also a kind of, feeling, that you get from reading this that makes you think that the subject of the hook, John Lennon, has accomplished all in the world that he has wanted to and he has completed his goal in life. This is proven by the quote by Lennon when he says that it was the biggest moment of his life.
