Final Wave Assignments:

1) I think that the quote means to like never allow yourself into a group where you have no voice, or in a group that holds or seizies your rights, and power. Also to not join a group tthat only want you to use you just like the nazis. In elementary school I saw this one group of kids that hanged around this shy kid so they let him in thier "group". And then I was playing tag and see the shy kid and the other kids and they were making him steal from one of the teachers and he said it wasn't right but he grop threanted him that they would kick him out and he did steal the box of candy but he got introuble and the other kids made him take the blame. Also that happened to my brother once. He joined a group of friends but then when he had soomething they wanted they took it away from him and he didn't say anything intil he decided thta he shouldn't be friends with those kids.


2) He changes drastictly, because at first he was the class loser. And when he sat at the same lunch table with other people, they'd move. When he joined the wave he thought this was hisw only chance to show how he really is. since Mr.Ross used him as an example, like when they were first learning how sit and answer questions. And since everyone learn a lesson in the end of the wave. they realized that thier leader was the worst leader, but i tink that they won't forget how to treat each other equally as the wave. Robert probably thought it was over for him once the wave ended because that was the thin g he mostly relied on. I don't think that he will bethe loser again since most of the school expirienced the wave.



3) A: A facist part in the wave is when the jewish kid got beat up by a wave member since he was a non-wav member, and after he beat up the jewish kid, who was Duetsh, Brian the wave member, called him a durty jew. Also in the begining of the wave, the wave was optional and if you said you didn't want to join the wave members would respect that. When the wave grew the wave members were being aggressive and racist to the non-wave members. Like the anonymous kid that wrote that letter to Laurie so it could be published.
B: Well in 1860 th civil war was held and that was facism because the confederate president Robert E. Lee belived that African amereicans shouldn't be equal as white people. That they should be slaves and nothing more. But since the union won the war america got fairly equal.




4) Mob Mentality:

I think one way to aoid it is to observe it, to see if you want to join that "mob". And if you think there are thing that you don't like don't join that group. If you caught your self in the ob do what ever you can to get out fast or the grup will have you in peer pressure and it'll be really hard to get out then. One way to avoind mob metality is to ignore what ever it is saying, because if you get caught in mob mentality it probably will make you do anything, thing that you probably regret for the rest of your life. But the main thing to aviod it is to join a group that you can trust that aren't doing anything bad.
