The wave 5-8
The first four chapters of the wave starting out very boring to me but then the book started to get more interesting.
In the wave the whole group that VBen Ross has made up is starting to grow stronger and spread more across the schoo. He decides to add strenght through community and strennght through action. He also decides to make the group more efficent by making up a little salute that is like making a wave with your hand. He also then talks about how to be able to suceed in something you can not ork by yourself but you must all work togehter s a team putting lots of effort into things. This makes the two footbll players think that the wave will help them win so the go and teach it to all of the players on the team hoping that it will make them win. It also makes Robert the loser with no friends joing the more popular grooup with Laurie which makes her un happy. She then starts to see that it is not all for fun but that the teacher is starting to brainwash and take controll over them after her mom brings up what is actualy happening. She must be careful how she acts though because Ben Ross has also made cards so that some of the kids can be spies.
I think these chapters are very interesting and important because the kids think of it as jut some fun little project when they are actualy getting brain washed and are being treated like robots. The one thing that i think is good is that when he added streanght through community then everyone started hanging out togehter not caring anymore and all the groups started to go away which meant people like Robert could have friends and be happier. I also think an important part of the book was when Laurie told her mom everything because she told ehr daughter that she better be careful because it sounds to her like the teacher is brainwashing her. This made her look at the situation and realize that it must be because everything is starting to get very strict and everybody is starting to grow like a community . I think in the next chapters that this whole thing will start to grow and the whole school will get into it or the kids will turn out like the brown shirts.
