The Wave

I ended up finishing the last few chapters of the book. I think the last few chapters are the most important events that take place in the novel.

One night Laurie was at the football field and Brad wouldn’t let her go up without doing The Wave salute. Her and Brad ended up disagreeing about The Wave. A few days after she was going to publish the newspaper that involved The Wave in it and she wanted to go talk to her best friend Amy about the idea. They also ended up getting into a fight about it. Some members of The Wave took it personal that Laurie was going to say those rude things about The Wave so some people got David to talk to Laurie about not publishing it. Laurie was walking home and she ran into David and they got into another fight and he ended up pushing her to the ground. David felt really bad and he realised what The Wave was doing to him so him and Laurie thought of a plan to talk to Mr. Ross so they went to his house and he said he would think of a plan to end The Wave for good.

So many people were going the principal’s office over The Wave because many of the parents thought it was very bad. Mr. Ross told the student who are in The Wave group to go to the auditorium. Many of the students showed up and Mr. Ross explained a lot of The Wave and what it has created and soon the students began to realise what was happening. It was over and all the students were slowly leaving and Mr. Ross found Robert crying.

I think so many of the students learned a lot about The Wave and learned that it’s not a good thing and no one realised what they were doing because they were all brainwashed into making everyone become members and if they didn’t its like they couldn’t hang out with their friends anymore or do anything without being involved in the group. I can see why the parents went to the school to complain about their children and what has been happening.

I think Robert was really carried away by The Wave and he was so caught up in it he was so upset in the end that he was crying. I think he was so upset was because he was finally fitting in and being equal like everyone else and it didn’t matter what you looked like or how popular you were, you were all equal and members of The Wave. I think he liked the idea of being a body guard for Mr. Ross. I don’t know if you have or haven’t read this book but I would prefer if you read it. It’s a good book and it shows you a lot of things that are going on.
