One of the most memorable scenes in Wait Till Next Year is when Doris and her young friends imitate the McCarthy hearings that have captivated the nation. What begins as fun and games ironically has the same result as the real hearings, driving neighborhood kids apart and provoking mean-spirited attacks. Discuss other important life lessons Doris learns through current events, such as the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement, the trial and execution of the Rosenbergs, and the escalation of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. How does her interest in these events prepare her for her role as a historian?
