Texts that are interesting and haunting have themes such as power and manipulation. However, stories with power, manipulation AND conformity, have strongly affected me and caused me to overthink about how simple it is to brainwash members of a society. This kind of activity (conformity, manipulation and power) is evidently shown in The Wave which was written by Morton Rhue. The Wave took place in Gordon High School. It's about Ben Ross, an intelligent history teacher that decides to perform an experiment on his class called “The Wave”, which at first started out so simple and small, until The Wave became unstoppable and spread around the school in such a short period of time, affecting many people.

These new realizations have been converted into the classrooms to better educate students. The correlation between cognition and learning is reliant, and learning cannot occur without the thought processes such as memory.

Mitch writes this story from real-life events about a real man he met and was inspired by. Throughout the book Mitch flashes back each chapter, from a small excerpt from his college days with Morrie to a present day interaction with Morrie. He pages from the past are written in italics, which help to make the reader realize that what he is speaking about is not about a present day meeting with Morrie. Each flashback also helps to set up the current chapter and many times parallels with the next part of the story. Albom also does an incredible job as he titles each chapter, as he jumps from each Tuesday, and then outlines what was the subject to that day, as Morrie always had something new to teach him.

Ground rules can be defined as terms which govern the working relationship between the school/teacher and its learners. According to Jo Budden “good classroom management depends a lot on how you establish ground rules at the beginning of the course”.
I have learned a lesson the hard way when I was a freshman in high school. Every time my mom and dad scolded me when they saw my grades I ask myself why study is so important for everyone in this world? When my freshman course ends, that’s when I realize what my parents were trying to teach me every time I get a low grade because instead of study for a test I was reading romantic books. Then after I saw how my final grade was affected, finally I learned the answer to my question. Is important to study first, because study gives us education and “education is the key to life and succeed”.
