I finally finished The Wave it was and interesting book but I just didn’t like it that much. In chapters 13-17 Laurie is faced with stopping The wave. Laurie has made up her mind that she is not on bored with the Wave, she doesn’t like it at all her and some of the other members of the grapevine are going to try and stop The Wave through the Grapevine. Some kid didn’t want to join the wave so one of the members of the wave went and harassed him about becoming a member before its to late. The person that was getting harassed put a note under the door of the Grapevine. The note told the story of what had happened to him and asked if Laurie could let other people know whats happening. Laurie shocked with the note so she told her boyfriend David but he thought it was just a lie. Laurie and David ended up getting in a fight over the wave and they broke up. Laurie put the note in the Paper and showed it to Amy, Amy didn’t want her to put the story in the paper but Laurie still did Some people realized how wrong the wave was but most people just thought it was a lie Laurie made up to get people to leave the wave. At the end of the book is when i get the chills Ben is going to stop the wave He told the members of the wave that they were going to meet their leader. All the members made their way down to the auditorium to find out who their leader was but when they got down there they had a surprise the screens were just blue, There was no leader the kids started to leave and that was when Ben told them there was a leader and he showed them the video that started the wave. He told them there is not a leader but if there was it would have been Hitler.
I found that the end of the book was very interesting, I was really happy when Ben stopped the wave although he should have stopped it when robert asked if he could be his bodyguard. I really like the way Ben chose to end the wave. If I was there I would have got the point of the experiment. I also think that Cristy, Laurie, some of the members of the Grapevine Were the main reason that Ben Stopped the wave.
I agree with you. I didn’t really like the book that much either. I definetly think The Outsiders was better when we read it last year. Anyways, nice blog post. I like your thoughts, :3
This is a good post and I thinkn the same abou most of the thing’s in your blog post. I liked how you were decriptive about how and when Ben Ross stoped the wave. Good job.
I acually like the book, it wasn’t my favourite book, but it was still pretty good. I found it unusual how Mr. Ross ended The Wave- it was interesting thought. Good post.

I agree, I was really happy, too when Mr. Ross stopped The Wave. I thought the book was okay, too… Not the best I’ve reaad, anyway…
I agree with you, Ben should have stopped the Wave when Robert became his body guard! You did a great job explaining the chapter.
