The book the Wave is set in 1969 in Alto, California. The book is about a teacher who tries to give his high school class a taste of what Nazi Germany would have been like. He creates a movement called the Wave which gets out of hand. The movement spreads to the rest of the school and non-Wave members are threatened and even hurt by Wave members. The teacher realizes he must end the Wave and calls an assembly. He turns on a projector that shows a giant image of Adolf Hitler. He talks about how they all would have made great Nazis. The students feel awful and the Wave ends.
How does the time and place people live in affect the events that happen and how they are affected?
The book the Wave is a great example of how the time and place people live in affect the events that happen and how they are affected. The experiment the Wave never would have happened before Adolf Hitler or the Holocaust. This is how the importance of the time one lives in is shown. The place the book happens in probably wouldn’t have mattered as much. The Wave could have taken place in any city or country and would have been stopped before something extremely bad happened. When the Wave ends in the book the students see how the Wave was making them lose their freedom as individuals. After their experience with the Wave the students would be more careful about joining movements and groups.
