wave final post

1)For the rest of your lives….never, ever, allow a group’s will to usurp your individual rights.” I think that quote means never let anyone or any organization take away your rights to do anything you were allowed to before. I think something that would involve me and that quote is if in the future they stoped allowing the Chinese in America because the Chinese started war with the US and they asked me to move to a prison camp, i will always remember i am an American citizen and even if I'm half Chinese i shouldn't be asked to move.

2) I think Robert is a person who is weird and doesn't have what he wants in life like more friends or better grades, and when he heard of the wave, he knew this was the chance to make him equal to all his class mates. When he was equal with all his class mates he felt like he wasn't yet and he took it a little too far but he didn't even know, and allot of the kids who were in the wave was just like him and took it too far.

3) A:I think fascism and the wave are very similar because in the wave there are leaders that have allot of power and can prosecute anyone they don't like.

B: I think an historical event that involved fascism is the Nazi's because there was a leader (Hitler) and they possessed allot of power.

4) I think mob mentality is when two groups of people form up to make a larger group of people because if they do that they get more power and an example is if two gangs group together to make a larger gang and then they go find more gangs to join them so they can make the size larger and after a while they will have a massive amount of power.
