Summary
Ben Ross wasn’t quite sure what to make out of The Wave. All the students that were in the class when the wave started were spreading the news around and telling people to join. His class got larger all the time. The Wave had even helped the football team. Laurie was in the publications office for her news paper, The Gordon Graorvine. For the newspaper no one had any stories to put in it, Laurie was getting them in trouble when someone said “let’s write about The Wave”. Everyone agreed and because Laurie would be the one that would know a lot about it. Laurie went home and into her room. Her mom knocked on the door and came in. She told Laurie that the wave group was changing Robert. Her mom was worried that Laurie was going to change like that all because of The Wave. The next day Principal Owens came in to see Mr. Ross and told him that he better not go too far with this so that parents have to come in and complain. Laurie was in the publications office when she found a note that had been slid under the door. The note was about a boy that didn’t want to part of The Wave but his friends did and now his friends aren’t friends with him anymore, and a guy that was in the wave was going to beat him up if he didn’t join. In the hall way people had a banner that said Wave Rally on it, they were have a wave rally instead of a pep rally. Mr. Ross came out of principal office and Robert kept on flowing him down the hall. Robert said that he was following him because he didn’t want the leader of the wave to get hurt. Everyone went to The Wave rally saying the salute. Laurie wasn’t going in so David went to go talk to her they were talking and Laurie and David got made at each other and they broke up. Laurie ran in to her room and sat there Alex came in and talked to her. Than her dad came in because he heard that she broke up with David.
Response Journal
I think that Laurie is right about people getting way into The Wave group. There is just about everyone in the school that is in the group and for the people that don’t want to be in the group they are having a hard time staying out because for people that are in The Wave group are pretty much peer pressuring them to go in or else they will beat them up. Evan a pep rally is changed to call a Wave rally. Everything in that school is going to about the wave
I think next in the chapters the whole school is going to be about the Wave group going crazy about it. But then a whole bunch of parents are going to come to principal Owens office and start complaining about how “my child had completely changed and never stops talking about this group called the Wave”. After everyone leaves from complaining about the wave group, Principal Owens is going to go and talk to Mr. Ross. Mr. Owens is going to fire Mr. Ross because of what the students are doing and what Mr. Ross started, plus Mr. Owens already told Ben Ross to not too far with this Wave group. Than after that all of the students are going to be called to a meeting or else all of the teachers are going to talk to their classes and tell them that no one is going to be allowed to say or even think of the Wave group. They will have to pretend that the Wave group has never started in the first place. After that I think that maybe Laurie and David are going to get back together because David is going to apologise for how he yelled at her, and because she was right that everyone was a little bite into it and never thought about anything else.
