The Book That Is Based On a Real Story.

The Wave so far is about a class of teenagers. Their teacher, Mr. Ross is teaching them all about World war 2. The history behind it, all the stuff that happened, what happened, etc. One day in class they watched a movie of World War 2. It apparently was really disturbing. It showed what happened with the Jews and all the people in the concentration camps. It really freaked a lot of people out.  That day after class a couple of students stayed after class. One of those students was Laurie Saunders, and her friend Amy Smith. At the end of class, Amy asked a question, “Why didn’t any one try to stop them?” Mr. Ross didn’t have a answer to her question. He could only guess why they didn’t stop.

After Amy didn’t get a correct answer, she and Laurie went to lunch. Laurie was too disgusted to eat her lunch so her boyfriend David Collins ate it. He is in Laurie’s history class too, but he never got as disgusted as Laurie did. He is also a football player and has a stronger stomach than Laurie.

That night Mr.Ross was at home, trying to find an answer to the question Amy had asked him in class. He was right into his work. He got “involved” with stuff, or absorbed into them. The question bothered him that he couldn’t answer her question. It bothered him that he had to guess the answer, and not just have the answer. When he gets into his work he has to finish it. That’s what the narrator describes his personality as. He was up late trying to find the answer. He couldn’t find it, and he can’t remember if there was a answer ever written down. Or if it was a answer they had to learn themselves.

What I think will happen in the next couple of chapters is, Mr. Ross will get his class to do something in a group kind of way. He will get them to do stuff like what happened in World War 2. He will form a group with his history class. A movement type thing. He is trying to get the kids to answer the question Amy had asked him. I think everyone would be involved with the movement but Laurie and maybe Amy. I think they will both try to stop it from happening. Or be too afraid to stand up to stop it. I think Laurie and Amy would be in on it at first but when they realize what is going on they will try to stop it from happening.I also think Laurie’s boyfriend David would be with the same side as Laurie. They would have to try to find a way to stop Mr. Ross from going too far.

I think other classes would get involved with this class. It would be harder to stop with only a couple people trying to stop it. I think Laurie would like the idea of the class at first. Then she will feel like this is what happened in World War 2 and try to get people to help her stop Mr. Ross from doing this. I think Laurie would wonder why Mr. Ross would start this. Why there is not many people to try to stop this. Why people are in on it and is helping Mr. Ross do that. I think there might be more people that will help stop Mr. Ross from doing this. They would also get some of the parents involved to stop this. I think they will get the whole town involved in this.
