"The Wave" -- Individuals and Their World
Introduction:
“Be around the people you want to be like, because you will be like the people you are around”. People can’t deny the truth that they are easily influenced by the area, people around them and experiences they have as well. The environment, relationships and experiences do play an important role on shaping the individual and their world. The Wave by Morton Rhue and the poem “The Door” by Miroslav Holub are the two examples which focus on proving the effect that environment, relationships and experiences have on the individual and their world.

Therefore, the Wave had changed student’s behaviour in Mr Ross’s class which also means the environment does shape the individual and their world.
People are also affected by the relationship that they have with the others. In The Wave by Morton Rhue, Laurie’s parents often talked to Laurie about the things that they had heard about the Wave thing, so that Laurie could make up her mind as well as made a own decision about join or not to join the Wave. Besides that, the friendship between Laurie and Amy has resulted in Amy’s view and thinking about everything. Since Amy became Laurie friends, Amy
