This (Chapter 13) begins where Laurie is at the football team and wants to go sit and then Brad stops her to tell her to do The Wave salute and Laurie doesn’t want to do The Wave salute and most likely she left.Later Laurie and some of the Grapevine staff met at her house to put up a special edition together,the paper would then be out by Monday at lunch time.

Some of the kids were shocked of seeing the bad side of The Wave,Ben Ross read the paper of the side where the kid got beaten up by The Wave members.Robert said to David he needs to talk to Laurie that she should be joining The Wave or at least stop with the stories in the Grapevine paper.

Laurie left the Grapevine office late at school and on her locker stand the word ENEMY,suddenly the light at the hall way turn off and she heard foot steps coming closer,Laurie ran to the exit doors and it was locked and suddenly it opened and she kept on running.

She meet up with David and had a talk about The Wave,David caught up with her that The Wave was a bad idea,after that Laurie and David went to Ben Ross home and had a talk about The Wave and told Ben to stop The Wave and he agreed,”but first you need to trust me”.

As the next day all of  The Wave member were at the auditorium,when Ben was in the bodyguards made sure that all the doors is closed and locked,everyone waited.Soon someone in the auditorium shouted “There is no leader is there!”There was a projector and then Hitlers face appeared on the projector.Ben told them that they would make great Nazis and they said it would never happen again but almost did.

After he was done the kids trowed down there membership cards and started to leave and Robert was crying because he think that everything is over he would be the loser again and everybody would start to tease him again.

My response post

I think that Robert won’t be the class loser again and I think that they would like him like he was when the wave was still on,if Ben would want to go find a job,the history of the wave would always go where he is like if he wants to go get a job people would remember what he did so they won’t take him that easily for the job.

It would be very hard to find a job for Ben Ross.

The End of the story.

Ben Ross was not quite sure what to do wit the wave,it was just a history experiment that became a fad that was spreading to the hole school.Some weird stuff started to happen like the history class started to expand.Collins and his friends Eric and Brian has successfully infused the wave into the football team.

Ben had tried to find out what it was to attract these students to the wave.He day dreamed about a story in the eduction section of time magazine:Discipline returns to the classroom:teacher makes starling discovery.The coach was even thanking Ross for bringing in the wave to the football team.

Laurie had trouble to find a story for the schools news papers,then Carl said they all were talking about the wave thing in the school and it is the biggest thing in the school right now and it was in Lauries classroom.They decided to do a big story about the wave.

Laurie got home and had a conversation between her and her mom.The next day Ben was called into the office and Ben was worried because he knew it had something to do about the wave.

As Ben is setting up for a big Wave Rally in the gym, he notices Robert following him around. When he asks Robert what he is doing, Robert asks Mr.Ross if he can be his bodyguard. Mr Ross had a log thought about it and Robert asked again and said he can be his bodygaurd.

Everybody is going to the wave rally and Laurie and David was still in the grapevine then David realized what the time is and David asked Laurie to join them and she said no.Laurie and David got in a fight and David was really mad and he left for the rally.A few minutes later Alex walked in,he tolled Laurie why he left and then Carl made an excuse to get out,he said he wants to go to the bathroom and then joined Alex and Laurie.

I found that it is really confusing where David will help stop the wave,but he is also caught up into it.I think Christie will tell Ben to stop because it is going to far.I think Cristie is sometime in the book like going to be a roadblock for the wave.

The one in the upper left corner is my dad feeding the baby lion and the one in lower left corner is my smallest brother.

Behind the fence is the lions.The cubs where very hungry at that time they were still drinking milk.

the people in the back ground is my nephews and my grandma,they were visiting us and my father said he is going to take us to the Lion park near Sundown Ranch closed to Sun City.  The lions were 9 weeks old. There weight 80 pounds.Big lions can take down a pray 3 times their size.A lion can run up to 30km/h but only for a short distance.

This is called in Afrikaans Jagluiperd in English it is a cheetah.

They can run up to 120km/h fast.This is endangered species in South Africa.

Chapter 5-9.

Laurie is starting to disagree with the wave,before that she and her family were having a discussion about the wave and her mother didn’t like that,she thinks it is kind of brainstorming the kids but her father said they will do anything these days to let the listen to the teacher and her father really liked it. The next day Mr Ross handed out membership cards of The wave out and the with an red x need to report to Mr Ross if no one o bays the rules and that people from the wave group need to get more people who can join The wave.

I think this whole thing leads to where almost the whole school is going to be brainwhashed and even mr Ross is going to be caught up into it.This experiment is going to far and mr Ross thinks he is going to add just something else like STENTH THROUGH ACTION,but all of that ads all the time and he is also getting caught up into this.I think he needs to stop now before it is too late.

All of the people discribe it as a perfect place to live.

Here are some information on the local government in Belgrade.

Belgrade, a town in Kennebec County, was first settled in the 1770′s. Incorporated on February 03, 1796, it may have been named by John V. Davis, who was involved in the incorporation, for the Serbian, now Yugoslavian, city. One version of the story is that, after it was captured by the Austrians in 1789, The inhabitants of our Maine town, because of interest in the plight of the Serbians, named their town Belgrade. (Chadbourne)

By 1790, Washington Plantation boasted 159 inhabitants, and by the year of its incorporation as Belgrade, 250. Over the next hundred years, it annexed land from Sidney, Dearborn (now dispersed to surrounding towns) and Rome, and gave up land to Mount Vernon in 1846.

Belgrade’s population has showed continuous growth for the past several decades, slowing changing from a rural resort community to a residential suburb of Waterville and Augusta.

The town is a center for access to the Belgrade Lakes Region that attracts summer visitors to enjoy its fishing, boating and lakeside cottages.  Great Pond dominates the town and the village of Belgrade Lakes at the north end occupies a point between Great Pond on the east and Long Pond on the west.

Find out next week.

CHAPTER 1-4.

What do they do?

-They help them get food.

-They help them with their needs.

-They get them work side by side.

History.

-In 1994, Steve Rosenthal took the money he had saved as an engineer at AT&T and bought a one-way ticket to Nepal. Having spent all of his life in North America, he wanted to see the world and come to a greater understanding of people in other cultures. After traveling throughout Nepal, he continued on to visit India, Thailand, Indonesia, Uganda, Egypt, Kenya, Jordan, and Israel. He met hundreds of people and began to learn of their lives, their struggles and their successes.They began set up a base and today there are more than 15,000 volinteers.

Where do they operate?

-Since 2001, they have been selected as the partner-of-choice to operate the CARE Corps program. CARE is one of the world’s largest international humanitarian organizations and works in more than 60 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

What is there goal?

There goal is to help the people in which countries they operate to help all the children who are homeless and children that don not even have food to eat.

Helping the little child.

On the one hand many people are concerned that those responsible for the financial problems are the ones being bailed out, while on the other hand, a global financial meltdown will affect the livelihoods of almost everyone in an increasingly inter-connected world.

collapse of the US sub-prime mortgage market and the reversal of the housing boom in other industrialized economies have had a ripple effect around the world. Furthermore, other weaknesses in the global financial system have surfaced. Some financial products and instruments have become so complex and twisted, that as things start to unravel, trust in the whole system started to fail.

So this is this is all the stuff we need to be aware of because there are allot of things happening in the world right now,like allot of mines closed down all over the world even in South Africa allot of people lost there jobs.If the market price go up again there would be more work for people.
