The Wave Characters
- Robert
- The reason for Robert supporting The Wave so much was because the Wave
transforms him the most. At the start of the book Robert was the class
"loser," has zero friends (as it seems), gets picked on by his peers, and does
not care to learn in academic subjects. However, after the first few days, The
Wave allows Robert to feel accepted. During this experiment Robert
becomes popular, he has more friends, and begins to take care of himself,
and started caring about academics. He also volunteered to be Mr. Ross's
bodyguard in order to protect him and The Wave. This will all change for
Robert though since The Wave came to a conclusion.
