"The Wave is based on a true incident that occured in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students.
Major Themes The main theme of the novel is the appeal of fascism: what makes individuals want to become a part of a community that places an authoritarian state above all other concerns? In what ways are compromises and excuses made, what advantages are gained and what freedoms are lost?
What do the students learn from The Wave experiment? They learn that everyone is responsible for their own actions and that you must always question and not blindly follow a leader.
Technically, The Wave has a happy ending: the experiment ends before too much damage is done, maybe some lessons are learned, and, well, nobody dies. As one students says after it's all over, "What a freak-out" (17.44). Seriously: Ben's a little harsh, don't you think?

How was The Wave successful? The Wave had originally been conceived as a way to show Ross' students how frightening life in Nazi Germany had been. When David and Laurie explained to him how scared some of the students were, he knew his experiment was a success.
The message behind this book is to question things, and a good place to start is by questioning the book itself.
His experiment was a little too successful and some two hundred students at Elwood P. Cubberley Senior High joined The Third Wave with disastrous effects. Jones describes the experiment as "one of the most frightening events experienced in the classroom" (source).
\u201cThe Wave\u201d is inspired by the real experiment performed in 1962 in a Palo Alto, California high school class by teacher Ron Jones. Faced with unanswerable questions about the behavior of Germans during WWII, he introduced the principle of \u201cThe Third Wave\u201d to his class to try and demonstrate answers.
The Wave is a made-for-TV movie directed by Alex Grasshoff, based on The Third Wave experiment put on by teacher Ron Jones to explain to his students how the German populace could accept the actions of the Nazi regime. It debuted October 4, 1981, and almost two years later as an ABC Afterschool Special.
