Quote 4
"Amy, I'm serious. The Wave is hurting people. And everyone is going along with it like a flock of sheep. I can't believe that after reading this you'd still be part of it. Don't you see what The Wave is? It's everybody forgetting who they are." (14.7)
Evidence that The Wave might be causing physical violence convinces Laurie that she has a responsibility to warn people about it. She's also concerned about what could be considered psychological violence: she thinks The Wave is forcing people to give up their personal identities in order to be part of the group.
