The Next Generation

     In the book I am currently reading called Scorpia  by Anthony Horowitz there is a small boy who is a spy for a secret agency in London. The reason they recruited a 14 year old boy for extremely dangerous missions is to surprise all the evil people that they are fighting against. Nobody would suspect a boy to destroy all of their plans right? Well that's exactly the thing,  no one would think a boy would be skilled enough to do stuff like this. But that's what really makes me think.

     It's not only in these books where a boy is not thought to be able to accomplish much but kids are always treated worse than adults, It's something that we all just got used to. Kids are capable of doing so much more than they are thought to be able to. People think that kids are incapable of doing specific things that actually are challenging. This is both a advantage for some people but a disadvantage for some people. Specifically for the book the advantage for the agency is that they have the element of stealth and surprise and a disadvantage for "Scorpia" the evil group of assassins, since they are clueless.

     But in real life too it could be an advantage for some kids if they do something that kids aren't thought to do they could get fame and fortune but a disadvantage for others since they could be intimidated by all their peers since no one thinks that they could do it. If no one believes in you, you probably give up easier than if you had support when things start going bad.

     These things that people think about kids or... teens can really keep this nation back if we don't allow these teens to actually attempt things that they aren't necessarily supposed to be able to do.
