1. I think it means to never let someone like a group to take over the fact that you like For Ex. bush instead of kerry, because your free and this is a free country and the U.S, made this country free so you can be free. So it means to never let someone take over you and make you like For Ex. kerry instead of bush. Do what you want to do dont let a group take over the fact that you are free. It also could mean that you shouldnt ever take ''individual rights'' from you because it catches you in the long run and they just made you do what you knew everyone else was doing but you didnt really agree on it.
I also think that you dont need to listen to other people just because their cool and if you have a different opinion then them that you will thinkl they will laugh at you. No, make sure you give your opinion no matter how stupid you think it is. In my own life this could apply because some people might disagree and they will laugh at your opinion but i think your opinion is yours only and you just have to keep it because it is your way in things, not just their way.
2. I think Robert was a character that had his own opinion in the begining but towards the middle lost it because of everyone and how everyone took it away. I think everyone that was involved in the wave would of laughed at robert if he wasn't in he wave and i think he followed others opinions through the book. At the end he finally realized how horrible the wave was and how far it was going and knew then he should of stayed with his own opinion or stay with the wave and all the wave members that encouraged him to come to join the wave.
I think he will start being strong again on what he thinks in life and stop listening to groups and follow his way. But the wave did make him more obidient and couragous and a litlle bit more confidence in himself. I think how since the wave is over he will finally stick to his direction and make sure the effects of others dont lure him in to what he doesnt want.
3. I see that Ben took responsibility of fascism because of how powerful he took his schools and other schools to participate in this. Historical movements are like a strength that he took and force that led him further in power. Hitler was a example because of the kind of power he put everyone in and how horrible he treated and hrut everyone. He was very powerful, forcibility, aggresiveness, and regimenting all industry like taking over the war in his power.
4. To remeber to stick with your opinion and who you are and not to follow others even though they are walking closer to Ben's wave experiment. I would give advise to just stay who you want to follow and dont let others take you down the wrong path.

FHP Reflection
Justin Baker
Family History Project
Class: Humanities Date:October 18, 2007
The purpose: of this project was to learn about a Historical Narrative, a memoir, and on how to interview a person in your family. To learn to organize and learn about history using tools. We learned how to research and how to not talk in plagiarism. We learned to do it in our own words. In order to learn about a narrative we had to take notes that were about the person we chose and the notes i did were on my grandpa who fought at the Solomon islands. We wrote four pages of notes and write them as if it was a article back then. We also had to do a interview that had our grandpas involved in. In order to do the interview we had to meet with who we were doing it on. For example since my grandpa was dead i had to interview my mom who had a lot of things on my grandpa. We had to write a paper on our person and what they did that impressed you and viewers.
I learned: about a lot of things in this project like how to do a narrative, a memoir, and how to write a interview. I explored the concept of how my grandfather made it out of the war alive. I went to my mom and some letters he wrote and found out that he was deaf and that he was taking out of the war. But he said he wouldn't of survived without his friend. But his friend took him this far in the war and actually saved him. I explored that and found out about my grandfather and his strengths. In this project, i learned how to write better and also gather information and put it into a narrative or a interview write up. I learned how to be a better typer because of how much typing was involved. I learned how to be a overall worker because this project taught me to step it up and be a strong hard working student. I learned a lot from this project and hope to learn more from the next projects.
Reflection: I enjoyed this project because it gave fun in working hard. It gave interest because it is fun to learn about your past relatives and what they did. It is pretty cool to look back on your grandpa and see what he did in the war and how he went through the war deaf. I feel like i could have done better on this project because i didn't really come into the project working hard and i thought i could of finished this project earlier if i didn't goof off a little bit into the project. Next time, i would probably work hard right off the bat so i can finish earlier and give myself a break.
Artifacts: I would have the map on where my grandfather went because it shows the places he went when he was fighting in the war. It also shows where my grandfather went from all the Solomon islands. I would also chose the movies that were unrated because it shows a lot of information and important things about the war. I would also chose the pictures because they show how my grandpa looked. It also shows the metals and ranks he was in. which shows a lot of how good he was in the war.

Wave 5
2. '' yes you have a leader ''
I thought that quote was saying that ben was their leader. But Ben said this and I thought he was saying it as hitler. He knew that he was acting like hitler and he had to tell them that it is just a project.
3. What do you think would of happened if the story went on and david and laurie talked about the wave and what do you think some subjects they talked about were?

Wave 4
1. I think Ben is getting overwhelmed and feeling like he is being rejected in this game. But i think he still pushing people to do it because some people want to do it.
2.I chose the quote '' it will be a strong argument for the success of the wave.''
i think by someone saying that in the book means that he is going to far and his doings are being argued because of how far and hard he is pushing this.
3.How do you think Ben ross is going to take all this arguing in his experiment, will he make them work harder or realize, what do you think?

Wave 3
1. I see that they're many comments from students like this one from the book. '' Hey did you hear that you are welcome to The Wave pep rally. '' what'' '' ya they are having a Wave pep rally instead the football teams pep rally. '' What.''
so you can see from the quote that Mr. ross is taking this wave too far. All the students are wondering how much longer this is going to last.
2. The principle went into the classroom of Mr. ross and said that he is taking this game a little too far. There is also a part where he gives more sayings. After his motto '' discipline through strength'' he gave another one that is discipline through action. He is going to far on this and is liking it so much that other people wont like it any more because of how hard he is pushing.
3. What do you think the kids at the school are going to do after they realize they dont like Mr. ross's game?

Wave 2
1.The saying ''strength through discipline'' was a commanding thing that Mr. Ross said to the students for the experiment. The students were fiquaring out that Mr. Ross was pushing the idea of World War II. The students had to stand next to their desks and act like soldiers. Mr. Ross's history class was getting into deep thought about courage, disapline and strength.
2. My favorite quote in the book was "Strength through discipline! Strength through community.'' Was my favorite because it tells you how you need to be strong in all you do as a community and through your own actions. It also stands out to me because Mr. Ross was a teacher that is trying to teach his students respect but seems a little caught in his eexperiment with his class a little too much.
3.Why do you think Mr. Ross's experment is going to far and how do you think his students feel about the experiment?
