If I were Ben, I would choose to take over the school mascot for the basketball game as my parents would be disappointed if I got suspended.
If I join the school basketball team, I can help to win the basketball match. I can cheer the school team on, motivate them to score goals, and win the Hamilton Jackrabbits.
I can defeat their rival team. Being the school basketball game mascot is not a bad idea after all. I get to play my part in cheering the team on and I get to watch the basketball match in the most ideal position. Although it might be very warm and uncomfortable to be in the thick costume, I am sure it is still bearable. I could wear a dry-fit t-shirt that might help to beat the heat.
This was a punishment that I had to accept. I knew, having donned on the school mascot costume, that it was wrong to throw food around in the canteen. I will face the music since I have done wrong.
