This post will be about the wave. The class room experiment that went to far. The wave is a novel that we are doing in class. We started it the friday before spring break. The wave is actually based on a real story that happened in 1969. So far I think it is very interesting. There hasn’t been much action in the book yet. We have just met some characters named Laurie Saunders, her boyfriend David Collins and her very good friend Amy Smith. We also meet Mr.Ross their history teacher.
Retelling:
So far in the book there hasn’t been very much action nothing really exciting has happen. Just a regular day at school. Frist period Laurie went to the school paper room and wrote a article about the latest news. In the second period they had history class and they watch a video on the Nazi’s the subject they are studying. It actually bothered a lot of people in the class. Laurie was one of the worst by far. She was just terrified how bad the Nazis treated the Jews. After the class was done she went and ate lunch but didn’t have much to eat because she was still disgusted about the Nazis. After they were done lunch Amy and Laurie went to the school paper room. Then they got a prank pulled on them were these to guys acted like they were principal and they got all scared because Amy was smoking out the window. Then in the last chapter it just talks about Mr.Ross when he was at home and trying to find out the some answers that he couldn’t answer in the class that day about the Nazi’s. Mr.Ross then got this idea that he would make an experiment. The question is that what will the experiment be.
Response:
Chapters 1 to 4 were very slow but interesting. Usually I like a fast start to a book but in this case, I like the start of this book. The one reason I think I like this book was because it is about the Nazis and I am really interested in world war two. Or because it is an imitation about the Nazis but just not with all the deaths. For some reason when we have novel studies and I pick my own book. I really don’t like it but when we get a novel a sighed to me I really enjoy it. Expected for the homework part of it. Something else that strikes me is that you never know what is going to happen in this book. Like one chapter will be about Laurie and the other chapter about Mr.Ross. That the kind of book I like and that is what is happening in this book.
The one character I’m not sure about is Mr.Ross because he almost seems like a two side guy. Like one of his sides are nice and funny like when he is at school and he other side is when he really digs into something. Like he seems like he is creep and almost physco or something. It is like he will never give up until he gets accomplished. Lots of people are like that but not to that extent. This are my opinions about chapters 1 to 4.
That was a good piece of writing. I like how you talked about how the begging was slow but interesting.
one word to descripe Ben devoted
