The Wave: Beginning of the End (8-12)

Chapters 8-12 in the book are actually pretty good. They seem to focus more on Laurie and her life. At the beginning it tells about Laurie and David. Then it shows us a part where Laurie is talking to her mother again and her mother still doesn’t really trust whats going on at school with the wave. I wouldn’t either if I was Laurie’s mom. I think that Laurie is trying to disguise her uncertainty about The Wave infront of her mother because she acts like it’s not that big of a deal, but deep inside she feels it’s wrong.
I dislike how Mr. Ross feels a little bit obligated to keep The Wave going for Robert. Ever since The Wave started, Robert has been a completely new person. (For the better)  They should find another better way to keep him happy like that.
When Mr. Ross talks to the principal, he tells Mr. Ross that what he is doing has the potential to get out of hand and that he must watch the kids.  I think that the principal is very intelligent.
The Wave is getting pretty intense. I found this line very interesting: “He said pretty soon people in The Wave wouldn’t want to be friends with people that weren’t in it”  It pretty well shows how far this little ‘experiment’ is going. I honestly think that The Wave getting pretty crazy isn’t entirely Mr. Ross’s fault. It was just a harmless experiment that everybody got exceptionally caught up in and turned it out of hand. It’s partially his and the kids fault.
Overall, I really liked these chapters. Very awesome.
