Stereotypes Involved In The Wave By David Collins

David Collins is a popular student who is participating on the schools football team and is involved in the wave. He believes The Wave would be a good opportunity to get the team hyped up for the games and maybe even enough to win the finals. David is dating Laurie Saunders who is apart of the “grapevine” which is a group of people who writes upcoming news in the school papers, she is one of the few students to not “believe” in the wave. David doesn’t like how Laurie feels about the wave and how she tries to tell the school in her papers what she thinks so he causes an argument which leads to him throwing her to the ground quote from page 120 “the words struck David like a hard slap in the face, almost out of control he screamed “shut up!”
