The Wave Chapters 5-8

In these chapter of the book it starts out as the students come in the classroom and notice that the board says “STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE”. Then Mr.Ross came in and started telling the class how discipline creates power and stuff like that. Then the students started to get interested in what Mr. Ross was saying, and then they started to play a “game” where they would sit up straight in there desks and keep there legs straight and have good posture. Then after the got that he wanted them to go into the classroom and walk into the classroom and get in your desk as fast as possible. After this the kids thought that this was great and it made them really happy of the power they felt. Lauren told her mom about this and she thought it was wrong and there was somthing about it that wasnt good. Then David thought that this kind of system would be great for the football team so they told the football team that they need to work together and the next day Mr. Ross came and handed out cards. On the back of some cards would be a X which meant you were almost like a enfourcer and you controlled what happened. Then they all became a big group and everyone sat together at lunch and all hung out. I think that these chapters were very well written because it told us alot about the steps to the wave happening and showing that the class even felt the power. I also think that there were some really important parts that will make this happen. Like how Robert the class loner was now sitting with the football team and everyone could sit together and everyone could be friends. I also think that it was very important that they made Lauren’s mom suspicious of “The Wave” because I think it’s a way of telling us something is going to go wrong or something. I thought that these chapters were very interesting.
