Proof: “Following minutes of progressive drill assignments the class could move from standing positions outside the room to attention sitting positions at their desks without making a sound. The maneuver took five seconds.”

Proof:”The secret must finally be waning. It's taken three years. I can tell you and anyone else about the Third Wave. It's now just a dream, something to remember, no it's something we tried to forget. That's how it all started. By strange coincidence I think it was Steve who started the Third Wave with a question. We were studying Nazi Germany and in the middle of a lecture I was interrupted by the question. How could the German populace claim ignorance of the slaughter of the Jewish people. How could the townspeople, railroad conductors, teachers, doctors, claim they knew nothing about concentration camps and human carnage.”

Evidence:Ron Jones had been reminded of the terrifying event that occurred when he taught Steve and his peers the lesson of how the Germans were so easily swayed into believing absurd ideas during WWII. It’s importance is that The Third Wave wasn’t just something of the past,it was a warning in the future for others.

Explanation: Mr. Jones described his students as their where something in the world that they can be. But knowing he is a history teacher and teaching about Nazi Germany and the camps. Like the students are like the German soldier.

Proof: “How could the German populace claim ignorance of the slaughter of the Jewish people. How could the townspeople, railroad conductors, teachers, doctors, claim they knew nothing about concentration camps and human carnage. How can people who were neighbors and maybe even friends of the Jewish citizen say they weren't there when it happened. it was a good question. I didn't know the answer. In as such as there were several months still to go in the school year and I was already at World War II, I decided to take a week and explore the question.”

Explanation: This quote shows how Mr. Jones wanted to show the kids how Nazi’s turned Germans against Jewish people and be the same way to the kids to make them fall into habits because of disciplinary actions if they do not follow the rules like Hitler did to the Germans.

Mr. Jones was able to treat his students in discipline and get them to behave the way he wanted. So he made his students do the same thing over and over again until they perfected it. He was testing a theory on how Germany was able to control so many people so he did a classroom experiment to show his students how Germany was able to do it on a larger scale.

Proof: “You would be walking down the hall when all of a sudden three classmates would turn your way each flashing a quick salute. In the library or in gym students would be seen giving this strange hand jive.”

Explanation: Mr. Jones shows how easy it was for something to take over very fast, bu doing one small thing can have a larger impact, Mr Jones made an example of how Hitler manipulated the nazis to want to be apart of something.

Explanation: This is a key part in the story because it introduces the initial conflict by saying that "The Third Wave" was a very important part of their lives.

Explanation: The students found that if they were able to follow in some ones foot steps they would have a greater amount of power and will. They had found that if they worked hard enough then they would be a greater force.

Proof: “ . I called it the Third Wave salute because the hand resembled a wave about to top over. The idea for the three came from beach lore that waves travel in chains, the third wave being the last and largest of each series.”

Explanation: Ron Jones taught his student have to sit properly and he has came up with a symbol to help symbolize their truth and respect for others and the “Third wave” symbolizes their truth and respect for others in their group and other people that are not in their group, and giving those people there respect and trust in them.

Explanation: As Ron Jones is testing his theory of control, the students are starting to follow along more and more, even showing more of an interest in the classroom. So Mr. Jones is proving himself correct because his class was following under a leadership like the Nazis in Germany.

"Students who responded in a sluggish manner were reprimanded and in every case made to repeat their behavior until it was a model of punctuality and respect."

Explanation:

Explanation: The reason why Ron Jones is telling us this in his story because he wants us to know how the German student’s obeyed him like the Nazi’s obeyed Hitler. Then Ron Jones wants us the readers to know how the student’s are obeying like Soldiers and, The teacher doesn’t know why.

Explanation: The Third Wave could have a connection to the Third Reich, created by Hitler in 1933. I believe that is another reason why the narrator called it the Third Wave. The narrator could have put in, "a wave about to top over," (the wave being the Reich) meant that the Third Reich would fail. The salute means that the class has to work and be together as a community. The quote, “Since we had a salute I made it a rule to salute all class members outside the classroom,” means that Mr. Jones wants to teach his students how to be a community and what it was like being under Nazi control and be in the army. Many other students outside of the class asked to join when they saw students in the class saluting each other outside of class. The students that were not in the class thought that it was cool and fun to salute others.

Proof: I called it the third wave salute because the hand resembled a wave about to top over. The idea for the three came from beach lore that waves travel in chains, the third wave being the last and largest of each series.

Explanation: He explains to the people reading in detail why the third wave was called it that. He named it the third wave because beach lore says waves travel in chains. The third comes from the last wave in the chain.

Explanation: Mr. Jones made his students experience the way Hitler treated his nazi soldiers by pretending that he was there "commander" and they were his "soldiers". Which this also shows how Hitler made his soldiers.

Explanation: Mr.Jones wanted to study Nazi Germany in his class so, they can understand the action in the War but his class stop him from teaching so they can ask some question.

ninety degree angles, hands flat and crossed against the back, spine straight, chin down, head forward. We did

noise drills in which talking was allowed only to be shown as a detraction. Following minutes of progressive drill

assignments the class could move from standing positions outside the room to attention sitting positions at their

desks without making a sound. The maneuver took five seconds.

I decided to push the tolerance of the class for regimented action. In the final twenty-five minutes of the class I

introduced some new rules. Students must be sitting in class at the attention position before the late bell; all

students Must carry pencils and paper for note taking; when asking or answering questions a student must

Proof: “Throughout the next few days students in the class would exchange this greeting. You would be walking down the hall when all of a sudden three classmates would turn your way each flashing a quick salute. In the library or in gym students would be seen giving this strange hand jive. You would hear a crash of cafeteria food only to have it followed by two classmates saluting each other. The mystique of thirty individuals doing this strange gyration soon brought more attention to the class and its experiment into the German personality. Many students outside the class asked if they could join.”

Explanation: They would show the salute to their to teacher as a sign of respect.  Also it is to show how the germans used that salute when they were in the army and it was a salute that was created by hitler. Although he taught a U.S. history class, Mr. Jones still did the salute to show how fast it can to do one thing.

Explanation: It was so important that the student remember being taught.

“Mr jones do you remember the third wave? i sure do it was one of the most frightening events i ever experienced in the class room. It was also the genesis of a secret that i and two hundred students would sadly share for the rest of our lives.”

I think this quote is weird because normally students and teachers don’t have a secrets. This could mean they were doing something wrong. this shows that not only a few people were involved. This secret was a bad secret because he uses the word sadly to describe it.This secret scared them for life and will be with them for awhile.
