The Wave by Todd Strasser7/4/2023 At first it started out positive, but then people started to be bullies and force people others into group. Then a symbol was created and mottos were created that the group chanted. Even the class creep/loser took on a new persona and cleaned up his act and got involved. "The movement" took on a life of its own. The teacher did a lot of reading that night and decided to try an experiment to just last one class period. This student was very disturbed by the images she saw on the film shown in class and at lunch her boyfriend told her to let it go, it was so long ago and it couldn't happen again. The teacher couldn't answer this question. A student asks why the Germans didn't do anything to stop the Nazi's from doing all of the horrific things they did. Set in a California Palo Alto high school in 1969, a high school history class is watching a film on Nazi's and the images of the monstrocities they did.
