Week three of the wave I still have the same prospective of the wave. So far I’m really liking this book. The intensity of the book has really picked up and I think the wave is on the verge of tipping.
Retelling
Chapter 9 starts off talking about how Mr. Ross actually didn’t think the wave was going to go this far. The wave was growing. Every day it would get bigger. So students would skip class to come and listen to Mr. Ross. They all insisted that they did their salute and their motto even with such a big class size. Mr. Ross noticed that the class was more prepared for class. He also noticed that his students were getting their work done faster and better. Their was more people participating and all their marks were going up. Then it talked about how Brain, Eric and David had got the football team involved in the wave. The book jumped to when Laurie Saunders was in the publications office at a meeting. They were thinking of ideas of stories that they could right about the big story everyone wanted to write about was the wave because everything else was boring and there was nothing bad about it to say. They all want Laurie to write it but then she said she won’t until she finds out more about the wave. So she told the people in the school newspaper to ask as many kids as they can and see what they think about the wave. School got out and Laurie went home. She went up to her room. Mrs.Saunders came in and they started to talk about Robert and how the wave changed him. After we were done talking about Robert they started talking about the wave rally. Mrs. Saunders wasn’t to keen on this idea. Chapter ten starts off with Mr.Ross getting called down into the office. Mr.Owens and Mr.Ross talked about how Mr.Owens didn’t want the wave to go to far. Mr.Owens was scared that the wave was going to turn into the Nazis again. In chapter 11 Laurie got a aynomuse letter from one of the junior in her school. After Laurie was done reading the letter the book jump into the hallway wear Brain and Eric were give panflips out about the wave and yelling the motto. When Mr.Ross was walking down the hallway Robert asked him if He could be his bodyguard and he said YES! In chapter 12 Laurie and David got in a fight. David walked out and when to the wave rally. Later that day they broke up. Laurie and her parents talked about David and the wave. The ended with Mr.Saunders talking to Laurie about the wave.
Response
In this chapter of the wave I really dont think that the characters changed a lot but the wave did. The is now not a game anymore. It is a serious matter. I think that in the next chapters Mr.Owens will get more involved. I think that the wave is going to grow out of the school before it is stopped. After it is stop I think that people will form their own little thing. The one thing that I found weird in this chapter was that Robert asked Mr.Ross if he could be his bodyguard and Mr.Ross said YES!. I think that is what really made me think that the wave is now not a game anymore. I really don’t know why Robert would even ask him that maybe because he wanted to move up in Mr.Ross’s rankings. Another thing that stuck me as weird was when all the members of the wave started handing out panflips and making poster even when Mr.Ross said nothing. I wondering why Todd Strasser made the wave has a rally in the gym. I think this was the turning point for me or when Robert asked to be the bodyguard. I really don’t know. This are my thoughts on chapters 9 to 12
This book was crazy but how was it crazy and were do you think was the waves tipping point?
Hi, it’s Alexander. Loved your post, and it was very detailed. I forgot about the part with the locker and the ENEMY reading.
