Final

1. I think that the quote means don't let a group control you. They cant control you without you letting them acomplish it.

2. At the begining of the book he was a shy lonley character unliked by anyone the "class freak." When the wave first started he was one of the few to get the pose right. He then after a while asked Mr.Ross if he could be his body guard which showed how seriously and important this club was to him. In the end he was really sad that the one thing he had treasured, that had made him an equal was gone.

3.
a. A example was that Mr.ross was a idol everyone did what he did without question of his power.
b. Kim Jong-il, he may seem like a god but pictures of his victims hardley come on the news. Yet the 63-year-old leader is responsible for the deaths of four million of his citizens. If one includes the dead in the Korean war (1950-1953) and those who have died in labour camps since 1945, Kim Jong-il and his father (dad) Kim Il-sung are responsible for nine million deaths. Measured against the size of the North Korean population, the dynasty has outdone better-known Asian tyrants such as Pol Pot or Mao Zedong.

4. Avoiding Mob Mentality: A Practical Guide by A Middle Student, for Other Middle School Students.”

Some of ways you can avoid getting caught up in a mob is stay aware for signs of students threating other students to join. don't join a group unless you no where it leads to. Another thing you have to watch out for peer pressure. The last thing you should watch out for is a leader trying to take over.

PO5

2. A passage that stood out to me was : "yes, you all would have made good nazis,"ben told them. "you would have put on your uniforms, turned you heads, and allow your friends and neighbors to be persecuted and destroyed." I chose this sentence beacuse it showed that how much a little thing like a club can turn into a big club of chaos and racism. I also chose it because it shows that they were starting to act like the Nazi. They were thinking of mr.ross, a tthing he never dared imagine, they thought of him as hitler. As a leader who would bring equalioty above everything. Yet they themselves did the oppisite of what the club,the wave was started for. the purpose of the wave was to learn not to join it and make the wave the terror of the school.

3. Would you have ended the wave the same way Mr.Ross did?, or if differently how would you have ended it?

PO3

1. some of the clues were wen he said that he wanted to let the student feel how it felt to follow a leader. Another clue was when lairies mom already started to question this project.

2.My favorite sentence was: ' You don't have to worry about how popular You are. We're all equal. we're all part of the same community. I liked this passage because it really shows that now istead of the students worrying on thier social life they'll now worry about school and grades. Also now that they are all equals they will really start to support eachother.

3. My question was: Do you think that the pep rally will get more members for the school or that hardly anyone will join?

OP2

1. One clue of the students already useing the motto outside class is for example, when the students went to football practice David said they never won a game because the were always fighting.



2. a short passage that stood out to me was: 'For Ben, what happened the next day was extremely unussual. Instead of his students straggling into class after the bell had rung, it was he who was late.' This passage stood out for me because it seemed preety funny that instead of his student being late it was him who was late.

3. A question i had was, Do you think that the students are taking this too seriously? Or would you have done the same in their place?
