How can you use “hine” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The magazine is American Heritage , and the article, "The Rise and Decline of the Teenager," is an excerpt from a new book by Thomas Hine called The Rise and Fall of the American Teenager .
Hine argues, quite persuasively, that the indulgent mass "teen-age" culture is largely the result of corralling most of society's 14-to-18-year-olds into American high schools.
By 1940, Hine writes, "an overwhelming majority of young people were enrolled, and perhaps more important, there was a new expectation that nearly everyone would go, and even graduate."
The "decline" portion of Hine's article is the sketchiest and least convincing part; perhaps he fleshes out his argument more convincingly in the book.
The people--peddlers, drunks, sandwich men--are observed not just as formal objects, although they are affected by shadows and textures and sign-fragments, and not just as social types, as in Hine's pictures, but also as complex, weathered personalities.
