The Wave Characters
  1. Robert
    1. The reason for Robert supporting The Wave so much was because the Wave transforms him the most. At the start of the book Robert was the class "loser," has zero friends (as it seems), gets picked on by his peers, and does not care to learn in academic subjects. However, after the first few days, The Wave allows Robert to feel accepted. During this experiment Robert becomes popular, he has more friends, and begins to take care of himself, and started caring about academics. He also volunteered to be Mr. Ross's bodyguard in order to protect him and The Wave. This will all change for Robert though since The Wave came to a conclusion.
    2. Laurie
      1. Laurie is the most popular and smart person in here grade. Initially, Laurie is on board with The Wave and believes that it will have a positive impact on her class. Once Laurie comes to the realization that Wave members have to give up their individuality, independence, and freedom in order to be equal she is disturbed and resists The Wave. Additionally, she speaks out against The Wave and writes an article in the school newspaper to expose the Wave to parents and school officials. This shows her traits: A strong sense of individuality, independence, and personal identity.
      2. David
        1. At first he likes the idea of The Wave because he thinks that it will help his sports (football school) team. He becomes so caught up in The Wave that he almost hurts Laurie his girlfriend. After pushing Laurie after he warns her not to expose The Wave he realizes the dangers of The Wave and rejects it.
        2. Amy
          1. Before The Wave Amy felt like she had to measure up to her popular and smart best friend (Laurie). Now with The Wave Amy does not have to be better than Laurie because she is equal to her.
          2. Mr. Ross
            1. Ben Ross is a History teacher for the seniors in Gordon High. Ben Ross was the founder and creator of The Wave. He created The Wave because his class asked him how the Germans could have allowed the Nazi death camps to exist and he does not know the answer. The Wave was an experiment to show the answer, but during the experiment he gets caught up in it. The Wave causes Ben Ross to become corrupted with power and enjoy the power and control he holds over his students. He also enjoys having a bodyguard (Robert).
            2. Other Wave members
              1. Wave members think that are superior to non - Wave members.
