final post

1. I think this quote means that you cant let a group of people make you do something you don’t want to do. It is a good idea to follow this quote because if the group that is trying to persuade you and the group is bad than you become bad also and that is not good. The big group is the wave trying to persuade Lisa. If you are in a situation like Lisa you should do exactly what she didbecause she handled it very nicely.

I think that in a older person's life a big group would be committing to violence, drug’s, unprotected sex or uncareful drinking and would try to get somebody who doesn't want to join them join them. When the person the bad group is trying to persuade refuses the group might beat up the person or just look down on them in general. In this situation the group that does drugs alchahol, cigarettes, Etc. is the Wave and the rebellion would be Lisa. For my specific age (##) I think that one of my friends would try to get me to do a stunt like jumping off things or sneaking into places I don’t want to sneak into. Another example would be when a friend tryes to get me to tease a retarded person so they can see the reaction because my friends might think it is funny. It is not only group’s that will ever try to persuade you sometimes it’s only one person. Groups of people trying to get you to do something is not always bad for instance my temple is helping people that are misfortunate or are in a crisis because of the fire. Sometimes people will warn you not to do something so groups are not always bad if that is what you thought I said above.


2. I think Robert became more confidante and noticed that he could become devoted to something other that being a helpless nerd. I think that the wave had a huge impact on Robert because it was something that people wouldn’t make fun of him for. In fact I think it was the opposite, some of the people in the school I think looked up to him because he was like a general for the wave and was the body guard for Mr. Ross which probably meant a lot to some of the other Wave members. I think Robert’s future will not be as good as the time of the Wave but I’m sure Robert made a friend from the Wave that will still be his friend. The waves end also really cracked Robert’s shell because it was the first time in his life that he will totally feel included.



Robert got to comfortable with the wave and when it stopped and went back to normal that was when Robert had a huge impact and it will be hard for him to adjust. Some people will still be nice to Robert and treat him as an equal because they saw his true colors. I don’t think he will just go back to normal.


3.Facisim: A government system led by a dictator having full power, forcibility suppresins opposition and criticism regimenting industry, commerce, Etc., and emphasis an aggressive nationalism and often racism.


A: In the Wave a form fascism would be when the group of kids attacked a Jew because he wasn’t in the wave and called him a dirty Jew, which is anti-Semitism, and that is a form of racism but just with religion. When the wave sent Lisa’s boyfriend to recruit Lisa and he pushed her, that was aggressive so that is fascism.

B: There are many historical events with fascism for instance Hitler was anti-semetic along with his Nazi party (boo) and was aggressive against Jews and whoever wasn’t like him. Black slavery was whites and many others who were racist and had no feelings for black people.


4. Avoiding Mob Mentality

To avoid mob mentality you must decide if the group is productive in a good way or stupid and unproductive. A way to tell about a specific group would to be first asking your friends and family what they think. The second thing to do would to do research on the people within the group and find out if they have a bad or good reputation. If someone asked you to be in a group you haven’t ever heard of always say no or I will think about it. Do not go into groups if you there are the opposite gender than yourself and they are five years older especially if you are a girl because if you get to comfortable with one person they could turn on you. I would take all my tips in mind but that’s just my opinion.


thank you for your time,

Project title: Family history project

Class: Ms. Interlandi’s d’s dates: 18 October


Purpose
The purpose of this project was to learn about our family and a historical event that they were in. In specific I learned about my grandfather’ event which was the Korean War and what his opinion was on it. Also when I interviewed him he gave me facts about what was happening socially and mentally on his ship.


What I learned
I learned about the Korean War, how it happened, when it happened, why it happened, what happened and who was involved. I had to use the computer to learn about the Korean War. I think another skill would be typing; everything in by scrapbook is typed. I also thought pasting and cutting were a big part of my project because every paper is pasted and cut so that it looks neat. I learned how to put things in my words better. And complete sighting my sources.

Reflection
I enjoyed the project because I got to learn a lot about the Korean War that I didn’t even no about till this project. Also I learned about the significance and how many people died. I learned about my grandfather’s experience in the war and about his job that was a second-class torpedo men. I procrastinated a lot in this project and if I could do it again I would get everything done at the beginning.


I couldn't get it on my blog till today sorry ms. Interlandie

2. ?I picked the quote "damn it Ben! because it suprised me it used another swear word in the story. I also think it was needed to catch Ben's atttention and to express how angry princaple Owens was at the moment. I think I would be mad to if I was a pricaple and one teacher was basically making my school into a milatary school and he was only doing it for an experiment.

3.what do you think Robert and Mr.Ross are going to talk about?why?
I think they are going to talk about how he can fit in too but I think it would be better to top it off if he said what they were going to talk about.

wave 4

1. I think Ben is worried about the experiment getting out of hand and he doesnt know how it is going to end. Mr.Ross is also worried about losing his job and deleteing trust with the princeple.


2. I chose the quote,"welcome to the Wave or else" because they are kind of making fun of it because Mr. Ross is taking it to far and that is something drastic that he would say.

3.How do you think the wave will stop

wave 3

1. I can tell mr. Ross is losing control of his esperiment because there is a poster with the wave symbol on the wall, he dressed with a blue suit and a white shirt with a tie wich are the colors of the wave symbol, he made membership cards, he made students monitors so that they can basically tell on someone if thy are not following the wave, he is leading them in a communist way, he is trying to have students recruit other people into the wave. I think he is acting like hitler try filling in the word wave with nazi it works and he is dictating like hitler did

2. I like the quote "STRENGTH THROUGH COMMUNITY",STRENGTH THROUGH ACTION" and "STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE" I liked that because line because it is a really cool motto but mr. ross is enforcing it harshly

3. Would you spread the wave if you were in mr.Rosses class and he told you to? why?

wave 2

1. The moddo "STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE" is deffenately affecting the classoom because everybody is behaving properly and nobody is talking out of turn. I also thingk that the football team will listen to the wave than they can be a all-star team. If the wave can spread to the football team than it could spread through the whole school and the community could improve 10 fold.

2.My quote is "Ross expected another wisecrack and he was suprised when it didnt come"I could relate to that because sometimes I make "wisecrack" jokes like that but when a important time comes I quiet down and stop completely just like the class.


3.QUESTION:what do you do that takes discipline to succeed like Andrea doing ballet why does it take discipline ?
