~The wave~ 9-12: Something grows to a new level.

     In these chapters 9-12 there was more conflict with characters and that made it a little more interesting to read. Ben started a little history experiment that turned into a fad or obsession. When Laurie got to the publications room there was a note on the floor that said that he was getting told to join the wave but he didn’t want to, and the seniors said that if he didn’t join all his friends would ditch him.
     Meanwhile there has been fights going on with kids that are in the Wave, and kids that don’t want to join the Wave.  One of the fights have been between two football player’s.  The thing I find wierd is that the kid that was beat up was jewish.  The people in the Wave are trying to get the people that aren’t in the Wave yet to join the group. At one point of the book, Mr. Ross has to go to the principles office, as the principal wants to have a word with Mr. Ross about the Wave. Mr. Ross didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing but it was a good thing.  He said that he really liked how the kids were being more reliant and easier to handle.
     In these chapter’s David and Laurie broke up over the wave because apperantly Laurie didn’t see the wave like David did. 
     I think that the wave is slowly starting to come to a huge thing that will blow up in Mr. Ross’s face.  Robert has assigned him to be Mr. Ross’s body gaurd.  Mr. Ross didn’t know if he really wanted to have a bodygaurd becuase that would show everyone that he is a perosn that needed a bodygaurd.
