Transcript
The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long The Wave, with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action", sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of The Wave and realize they must stop it before it's too late.
TEXTURE OF THE BOOK
The Wave like the Nazi movement?
The Wave is based on a true incident that occurred in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. It is a young adult novel, which was written in 1981 by Todd Strasser
Laurie Saunders: Main protagonist of the novel, head of her high school newspaper. Initially supports the Wave but as the novel progresses she begins to see it for what it really is, a mini revival of the Third Reich. Because Laurie sees the Wave for what it is that she chooses to distance herself from it and all those who are involved which subsequently causes her to be branded as an "enemy".
Amy Smith:Laurie's long time friend, in constant competition with Laurie, which puts a strain on their friendship; a strain which finally comes to a boil when the Wave is in full swing and Laurie is no longer "special."
Ben Ross: High school history teacher who tends to get engrossed in his work . Devises The Wave to show what life in Nazi Germany was like, but he gets caught up in it as well. Initially it is met with great success, but soon goes too far.
