The wave


1. This book takes place in Gordon high, Palo alto, California

B. Some of the clues the author gave us were: That in the newspaper office there were typewriters in which nowadays we don't use. Another clue was that they had to work with all the cables in the projector because now we just have to click a button and its on the screen. Another clue was that it said film, because now instead of using films we usually use DVDs or we just get it off the Internet. The last clue was that that they used to smoke there and now days if your in high school you'll get kicked out.

3. A sentence that stood out to me was: he was "contagious," they'd say, meaning he was charismatic. this sentence shot up at me because it means that he explained things so well and he made them sound so interesting that other people wanted to hear about it. I also chose this sentence because if i was Ben i would also enjoy talking such enthusiasm. Or if i was the student i would surely enjoy hearing about all the things Ben had to say.

4. A question i had was, if you could have seen the video how would you have felt. would you have felt like Laurie.

1. If I have seen that video i would've felt just like Laurie. I will be really sad and ask many questions like she did. I'll kind of be like Amy and be crying. I'll also feel like the rest of the class, stunned about the film.

2. I agree with you about your clues that the author gave us. We don't use typewriters anymore. We don't use the film projectors now we use DVD's. Also smoking is not allowed for sure.

4.I agree with the hints about how its differnet.Because we dont you typewriters we use computers.We are no were near allowed smoking in a class. Nor alowed to even bring one in the class.Or the school.And with the cables. Your totally right we use projectors and dont use vcr's often
