hooking the audience, articles

What do the articles say about hooking your audience?
There are steps what to write in each part so you can hook the audience into the story, and it says first is to begin with questions or challenges to your reader so they actually get part with the story and participate, which would help them to pay attention. It also says to end with easy layout sets therefore the audiences are having no difficulties to understand.

The Tell-Tale Heart
Does the story have a good hook?
It does have a good hook, it has even its interesting impression giving in the title of the story. Also the plot inside the actual story gives exciting feelings to the readers because by adding objectives such as disease, which would make suspenses to the reader and catch their attention throughout the story.

Why or why not?
However not all of them are a good example of hooking the audiences, in my opinion the problem that makes not a perfect hook is that the story extends its plot for too long so the whole story gets boring and makes itself to lose its gained suspenses away from the audience.

How does reading a hook in a literary text compare to viewing a hook in a movie?
Reading a hook in a literary text affects the readers more effectively than in a movie because in books for example, they can explain and give out detailed information to the audience which would catch their interests and help them to pay attention while the whole excitement in the plot goes on.

Examples of hook
Through my experience, my hook is from one of the movies because it was interesting. The movie was called The Prestige, when I first saw the movie I didn't knew what the title of the movie was actually meaning properly therefore I got more interested in this movie.
However the main hook was from the story itself, because this movie's genre is like mysterious which makes your brain work things out throughout the movie but it even made me confused at the end of the movie, there was twisted resversed story going on towards the end. You might me thinking that I'm weird because why would I get hooked by these kind of confusing movie story but my favorite movies have mostly the trick plots from the movie.
This hook probably is only for me but it was my best hook movie that I watched recently.
