Blog Prompt August

JH
The main character in your book is moving to your town (this could be Jakarta or a town you know better) If they’re a child they could be coming to JIS. Will he or she fit in? Why or why not? How are his or her tastes different from – or the same as – those of your hometown?
James from The Recruit is admired by every kid in CHERUB, but would he fit in at JIS? He would likely be on a mission if he was in JIS because CHERUB agents are not allowed to enroll at other schools unless he/she quits CHERUB. CHERUB is a division of MI5 and is a school for teen spies. If he is on a mission, he will try and become friends with someone at the school. The friend of James might be a kid of a drug dealer, or a dangerous convict. I think James will fit into JIS.
James could fit into our school if he wanted to, but with his real personality, I think he'd get suspended easily. But even though he gets suspended or expelled, CHERUB does not go harsh on him since he is on a mission. When CHERUB agents are on a mission, they tend to use fake names. After the mission, they will destroy the fake names, fake DNA, fake fingerprints. So getting into a fight is no trouble for James and I bet he likes fighting because he always wins. He will like the kids at JIS but I don't think he will like Jakarta because of its humid weather. He had gone to basic training in Malaysia, and hated the weather with all those mosquitoes. Also because, it might be harder for him to get out of school during school time and go to the mall because of all the fences and security guards at every gate. He has skipped school a lot of times before he became a CHERUB agent and during missions. He had skipped schools during his second mission when he was trying to get close to Junior who liked skipping schools.
He’ll like PE and math the best. He's a human calculator so he can calculate anything in 3 seconds. It'd be easier for him in Math even though everybody uses calculators at school. He'll like PE because he's fit because of all the training in CHERUB. He is likely to get A's in PE and I bet he'll get less than 5 minutes in the mile run. The mile run is nothing for him because in CHERUB 10 kilometers is just warming up. CHERUB agents get punishment laps for not doing homework or causing a problem. But I don't think he'll run so fast in the mile because it'll make him suspicious during his mission. If he fails on his mission, it'll be harder for him to go to the next level of colored t-shirt because Mac, the chairman of CHERUB, won't trust him for the next mission. The color of t-shirt says which level you're on. Orange for guests, red for younger kids being educated, blue for trainees, gray when you qualify, after that, you can 'go dark' , meaning you get awarded the navy t-shirt than the black and the last one is white for staff. James was a gray but got a navy after his outstanding performance on his first mission. If he wants a black he has to do outstanding performances on his next missions.
It would be easy for him to fit in if he wants to because CHERUB agents can fit in well under any conditions. They are trained for this since when they go on missions, they have to fit in with the kids there.
