In chapters 9 to 12 , the take action motto of Mr. Ben Ross’s class room really comes into play. Mr. Ross was called down to the Principles office to talk about The Wave, Mr. Ross thinks he is in big trouble and that he will have to stop him class experiment. But when he arrives at the Office Principal Owens seems very happy. He wanted Mr. Ross to explain the Wave to him and said that He had better watch what he was doing he didn’t want and angry mob of parents coming in and complaining about the experiment. Laurine was looking out a window down into the school yard and saw two foot-ball team member fighting with a crowd of kids around them, after a teacher separated the two kids the one being a wave member was shouting the Motto’s at the other non-member “Strength through discipline, Strength through Community , Strength through Action.” David walked up be hind Laurine and asked if she was going to come to The Wave Rally. Where all the new members would be introduced Laurine told David she didn’t want to go and David lost it and broke up with her. Later that night Her father told here that while he was golfing on of his friends had told him that a Jewish boy had been beaten up by wave members Laurie’s father believes this was done because he was Jewish Laurine tell her father that they are running there class in a similar way that the Nazi’s where run but they don’t have the same believes. Although inside she has a felling this may be true
.
I think that Laurine and David’s break up is a large part in this set of chapters. The fact that there break up was because Laurine doesn’t like the Wave anymore and David thought it was because she was no longer better than everyone else in the school. laurines father told her that a Jewish boy was beaten up for trying to join the wave. Laurine instated that this was not because he was Jewish and that they where copying the Nazi’s way of running a group but not there believes. I think that The Wave members are going to turn into Nazi’s. In the future of the book I believe that Laurine and David will get back together but for that to happen The Wave will have to end. I believe that The Wave will end due to parents complain about discrimination against Jewish People in the school.
