Nazism The wave is about a history teacher whose

name is Ben Ross. His class was starting to study the time

that Hitler began making all the Jewish people stay in camps.

Ben Ross could not find a way to get his class interested into

this time period, so he decided to try to make a group, He

would play like a Hitler type scenario and his class would be

the Jewish people. He would make this group open to the

whole school. Ben Ross told his idea to his class. He

announced the group, and he had a pretty good turnout.

They called the group that wave and they made a

handshake, and a symbol. Laurie a girl in Ben Ross's class

joined the wave at first and was in it for a while, but she saw

that it was becoming way too serious. She decided to drop

out of the wave. The wave became so popular that almost

all the school was in the group. Ben Ross started to dress in

suits, instead of his usual jeans and a nice shirt. He started to

dress like a dictator. Ben Ross had the kids in his group sit

with very good posture, and if they wanted to talk they had

to address him as sir and they Stood up and talked very

crisp and clear. When they were through talking they had to

sit back down the proper position. Ben Ross thought that his

experiment was going really good. All the kids were really

taking it serious and he was enjoying it too. Laurie who quit

the group saw that everyone was in the wave and she was

on the staff of the Gordon Grapevine the school newspaper

she decide to write and article about how everyone was

taking this wave thing way to serious. Her article in the

paper was published and everyone saw what she wrote.

This made all of the group members very upset, they started

to threaten her, and make her feel left out because she had

quit the wave. Laurie had a boyfriend David who was in the

wave, kept telling her that she should join the wave again, he

didn't realize that why she didn't want to be in the group.

This was splitting them apart. Laurie and David were talking

one night and David brought up that she still was not in the

wave, and she needed to join the wave. Laurie told him that

she did not want to be involved in it, it was getting way to

serious. People were getting hurt. David got really mad and

  • The Great Wave Analysis

    681 Words  | 2 Pages

    Christopher Benfey’s work The Great Wave is a narrative driven by a collection of accounts, stories and curious coincidences tying together The Gilded Age of New England in particular with interactions and connections to the Japan of old and new. In the context of The Great Wave, Benfey's own personal journey to Japan at the age of sixteen should be understood. Embarking on this voyage to learn traditional writing, language and Judo, his story can also be seen as a not only a historical continuation, but also a personal precursor to the vignettes he discovers and presents to the reader.

  • Waves In Seismology

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    In seismology, there are several types of waves studied, each of these waves have characteristics that define them. Seismic waves can be split into two categories, and they are body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel and move within the earths subsurface and inner layers. There are two types of body waves, P-Waves also known as compressional waves or primary waves, and S-Waves also called secondary or shear waves. The S-Waves have a vertical (Sv) and horizontal (Sh) component. “In an infinite homogenous isotropic medium, only P and S waves exist” (Telford et. al, 1990). On the other hand, as indicated by the name, surface waves travel and move along the surface of the earth. In general, surface waves have a lower frequency than body waves, therefore, they can easily be distinguished from body waves on a seismogram. There are two types of surface waves, Love waves and Rayleigh Waves. Love waves is the fastest surface wave, its movement mainly consists of a side to side completely horizontal motion. Rayleigh (1885) waves are surface waves that “roll” along the ground; they are a consequence of interfering P and Sv-Waves. Our project

  • Comparing The Wave And The Diary Of Anne Frank

    278 Words  | 1 Pages

    “Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under commission, it’s just the opposite.” - John Kenneth Galbraith. Mass conformity means a majority of act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours to group norms. Norms are specific rules, shared by a group of individuals, that guide their interactions with each other. The Nazis demanded mass conformity under Hitler. In every case or an every occasion there are people who do not or will not obey to what is demanded. Like Laurie Saunders in the Wave, Anne did not comply to the dominant institution. The Wave and The Diary of Anne Frank relate to the theme of mass conformity under one power because both of these novels explore the concept of conformity and individuality by putting average people in

    711 Words  | 2 Pages

  • The Bells

    1119 Words  | 3 Pages

    “The Bells,” a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe, conveys a cheerful tone through distinct sounds and repetition of words. A deeply onomatopoeic poem, “The Bells” progresses after every stanza. Primarily, the alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia in the poem produce a happy tone; but, towards the end of the poem, the sound devices help establish a gloomier tone. In each stanza, the bells are made of a different metal substance. In the first stanza, the bells are described as silver. In this case, the bells are pleasant, precious, and strong. Moreover, the bells portray the stages in life. The first stanza explains a man’s happy childhood. The golden bells in the second stanza are an example of a man’s love life through marriage. The brazen bells in the third stanza depict the terror of a human’s life through aging, and the iron bells in the fourth stanza show the mourning and death of a human. To fulfill the sense of excitement and happiness throughout the first stanza, Poe uses repeating words and consonants, long vowels, and imitation of sounds. The alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia all contribute to the joyful and merry tone of “The Bells.”
