He makes most of the readers believe what he says as he describes teenagers in a totally negative way and creates a very bad image of them. Hitchens uses words like ‘feral’ and ‘hoodie’ several times to portray young people very badly. By using these words an image of teenagers is created which is most likely to be like wild animals. He calls young people ‘unpredictable wild beasts’ and implies they could always behave in an aggressive manner. Hitchens uses a range of literary techniques like the repetition of ‘Let’s accept’ which is used three times, and makes a sweeping generalisation each time, that implies a lawless society where no one is prepared to support threatened older people- not even the police or
“All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men”, (William Penn a preacher, minister, and missionary in the late seventeenth century). In The Absolutely True diary of a Part-Time Indian, Sherman Alexies shows us how alcohol abuse affects Junior's life, how painful it is to deal with the effect, and how it leads to violence and death of the ones he loves.

He says that there are more than 40 million Americans, who are essentially illiterate. (Moore 129) With these statistics, Moore indirectly proves that we are all childish by not increasing our intelligence level to Junior High at the least. These are staggering accusations.
In a patronising and condescending letter to the editor G J Wowser egotistically contends that the drink driving age should be changed to twenty-one. G J Wowser is critical of young drivers and aims to portray them as ‘irresponsible and careless’. Wowser positions the reader to think of teenagers as ‘irresponsible’ and incapable of drinking and driving by twenty-one. This can be identified in his description of young people as ‘tearaways’. This portrays Wowser’s bitter view on younger drivers and positions the audience to think all young people are irresponsible and ineligible to be driving on our roads.
