OP #4

1. Ben is feeling pretty conused, not knowing where to go and how to proceed. At least that's what I think. His wife Christy is pushing him to stop it, and he feels like he should stop it, but at the same time doesn't want to. He's basically so involved that he doesn't care about anything else. He's disrupting the class ecosystem and everyone thinks he's "going on an ego trip". He wants to end it here and now, but he doesn't want to leave the students hanging. It's like he's driving a car blindfolded.
2. My favorite sentence is "Looks like I've stumbled into Anne Frank's attic", he said." (Page 90) What really stood out to me about this sentence was that it really was like hiding from the Nazis, and history was repeating itself under a different name. It makes me wonder if it'll happen again.
3. Do you think that Laurie will cave in to The Wave, or stand up? If Laurie will stand up, what do you think David will do? Will David ever make up with Laurie?

P.S. Tell me if these are too many questions.
^.^

1. Yeah, he is really confused, and he is kind of addicted to The Wave, which might lead to other problems in the book.
2. Yes, I think he is worried about The Wave going too far.
3. I think Laurie already standing up to the wave and I think that David might go to extreme measures to stop her.

2.) your sentence is interesting to me also because it also makes me wonder if the people involved in the Wave might turn out like the Nazis. Hopefully they don't.

3.) I don't think Laurie will join the Wave, I think she will stand up and david will not make-up with laurie because he thinks that she is crazy to not join the wave.

3) I think laurie will stand up to the wave because the wave now is too ridiculous. And david will probably see it her wave and join her to shut down the wave and make up.

2) That sentence is funny because all the people there are hiding from the wave rally because now they enforce you to go and join them. And it is like the nazis the way they are hiding.

2. i like your sentence because it is kind of like hiding in ann franks attic

3. i think that laurie will not join the wave and stand up for the few people that dont have the guts to stand up for them selves and i do think that david will come out of his sences and make up with laurie

1. I like how you used the words "ECO TRIP" because it really describes how ben is feeling

2. I read that line but I didn't make the connection! wow! how cool!

3. I think Laurie will go against the wave and david will follow her.
