The Wave is an interesting book with interesting outcomes. So far The Wave to me is like the story of what actually happened when Hitler took over in Germany. I think The Wave is going to spread like a virus because it has already started. Everyone is following the rule of Mr. Ross because he is an authority. The human race listens to people of authority. That is why nobody has questioned the method yet, but will they? I think it is interesting that nobody has questioned what the point or why the teacher is doing this. Although he has authority above high school students he just got teaching what happened to the Jews in World War Two.
Laurie the main character is the only one who is some what timid about the stimulation. She is unable to speak up for herself because everyone agrees its a life changing experience. I think the students like it so much because everyone is equal. Nobody in The Wave is involved in a clique. Since the team captain of the football team has seem to spread the dictatorship of The Wave to the football team, the team seems to be getting pumped up.
The brainwashing occurring in this book is concerning because not only is it spreading through out the school it is changing people self-esteem. My prediction is that someone become over confident and start looking down on people as lesser than himself. I also believe that someone will try to leave The Wave and be punished for it. Just because everyone is equal now doesn't mean it will stay the same. Just like the Jews, the leader will start segregating the weaker or the ones that are not fit to be apart of the group. I feel like The Wave is not spoke of anymore is because it was such a irrational stimulation that it changed everyone because of the segregation that will occur.  Mr. Ross will lose control of the group because a student will take over and unconscionably change the system completely.
