Week two of the Wave. So far I really like this book. I think that I like this book because It was a slow begining that was build up to the experiment. Now in chapter 5-8 we learned about the experiment and what it is.
Retelling:
In chapter 5-8 lot of stuff had happened with the wave. In the start of chapter 5. The students just came slowly into the class like every other day. This day was different, there was something written on the board. STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE. Most of the students thought this was very odd. After everyone was seated Mr.Ross gave a lecture about Discipline. After the lecture about when you are Disciplined you are successful. He showed the class what he meant. He got Amy to come sit on a chair and had her make her self have good posture. Then he asked the whole class to do it. Mr. Ross walked up and down the aisles checking everyone posture and correcting their posture if they were wrong. After this he made the whole class walk around the room and when he said something they had to sit down. They did this a couple of times. The first time everyone was bumpping into each other. By the last time Mr. Ross was satisfied. After this he got them to go outside in the hallway and do the samething. After they had it to a science. They stopped. Once they were all seated, Mr.Ross begain asking them questions. They had to answer him by saying “Mr.Ross” and stand up by their desk. Mr.Ross asked them questions untill the end of class. Mr.Ross then dismissed them and they went from lunch. Before lunch David when to the bathroom and then found Robert practicing how to reply to Mr.Ross. Robert did it several times in the mirror. At lunch everyone was talking about the wave and how weird it feels, like a rush of adrenaline. In the next page it jumped to when Mr.Ross was home in bed talking about the wave with Christy and at the end of the chapter they when to bed. The next day was a little weird for Mr.Ross because he forgot something had to have for class so he ran outside before the period started to get it and when he got back everyone was there sitting straight up with good posture in their desks. Mr.Ross was astonished so he asked Robert what was going on so Robert jumped out of he’s desk and said “Mr.Ross Displine”. So Mr.Ross added something else to the blackboard. “STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE” but he added “COMMUNITY” behind it. Then he talked to the class about community. After he’s lecture was done he got the students to repeat the slogan “Strength Through Discipline, Strength Through Community”. After that Mr.Ross drew their symbol on the board. Which was a circle with an outline of a wave in it and after he had it drawn he told his class what the wave symbolised. There was one last thing they talked about was their salute. For there salute they had to cup the right hand so it looked like a wave and tap the left shoulder holding it upright. After they were done their salute, Mr.Ross got them to do their salute and slogan. The class practiced this till class was dismissed. After school there was football pratice. David was talking about the wave and how they act like a unit. The book jumps to Laurie house and how her and her parents were talking about the wave. Then it was the next day it was talking about how Laurie and David met. Then on the way to school they talked about how David need help in math. In history class Mr. Ross gave them all the wave membership. If you had a red X on the back of the membership you had to make sure everyone followed the rules. The only ones that had them was Brain and Robert. At the end of class Mr.Ross said they could now expland the wave. Then the last chapter ended with them at lunch.
Reponse
I was wrong about this book. I thought this book was going to get like this in like chapter 10 but I actually started to get really good in chapter 5. I think some of the characters have changed. The one that changed the most was Robert. I really think that the wave have a Robert a new life. I think that now he has a reposibtly that will change him. I think that Robert will be like Mr.Ross little snich. Like if anyone disrepects the wave he will tell Mr.Ross. I think the wave is good because everyone in the wave is equal and no one is a loser. The wave gets everyone involed and busy so that know one can bully Robert. I also think that the wave is just a game right now like follow the leader but in chapter 9 to 12 the wave will get a lot more serious.
My perdiction is that the wave is going to grow in chapter 9, 10 and 11. In chapter 12 I think that Laurie and David are really going to see what the wave is turning into. I think that they will try to stop them their selfs but in chapter 13 they will have to get someone else involed and after everything is settled there is going to be something bad happen in their school like they will get anew teacher and everything will go back to normal. This are my thoughts on chapter 5 to 8.
good summary brady
I like how when something was important in the book you would write alot and go into detail with it. How do you like the book so far?
Nice retelling there is lots of description and is pretty interesting to read. Just like if you were reading the book.
I love your retelling. It is probably the best retelling I have read so far. It is so detailed, that if the reader read some of the wave, and yours they might not be able to tell the difference.
