Questions

1) He looked like a relatable character, someone who is socially awkward, but  a very nice friend when you get to know him.

2) I think this movie is a comedy,but someone could find meaning in the message of it, which I think makes it a very good movie.

3) I think Napoleon saw himself as a really cool guy, and he didn't care what other people thought.

4) He didn't have many skills, but I believe that with time he could have become a great artist. He clearly loved to do it and although he wasn't the best, over time he could become good at it. Also, he was great at dancing.

5) I think this movie is funniest for anti-Napoleons because they like to laugh at people like him, which is where a lot of the movie's humor came from

6) I don't think there's as much of a social structure in high school as people think from movies. Of course there's cliques of popular people, but there's the same thing with "nerdy" and unpopular kids, which is where Napoleon would fit in. I kind of fit in with this group as well, which I would rather be in than the "popular" group.

7) I would probably vote for Pedro because I'm not part of  the "popular" group and I'd probably be friends with him and hate Summer to be totally honest

8) Napoleon's biggest problem was that he had no friends and nobody seemed to like him in the beginning. Kip's seemed to be similar, he was lonely and didn't know what to do with his life. Uncle Rico was just broke and needed a scheme to make lots of money.

9) I think this means that Napoleon is supposed to be a completely average person in every sense of the word, but in the movie he does something completely unexpected.

10) I'm not really that popular, and I like lots of things that are considered "nerdy"

11) I think he was. He didn't seem upset from what people told him, and he was very happy doing his own thing, like drawing or dancing.

12) Maybe he just liked those boots. I wear the same shoes everywhere because they're  comfortable and I don't really care if people don't like them, like he probably didn't.

13) I don't think he will ever be looked at by other students as something other than a dork, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing, it's just him being himself 


14) I think in 20 years, Napoleon will be working as some kind of creator, possibly even with his own show or something, with Deb and Pedro as his partners in his creation. Kip will probably be working at some office job, and Uncle Rico will probably still be trying to come up with a scheme to make money

15) I would love to have a pet dragon (I already have a leopard gecko, he's my tiny dragon)

16) I think tots made out of other vegetables would be really good

The importance of art

In school, artistic classes are extremely important. Not only do they offer a break from all the boring academic classes, but  they are very relevant outside of school. Where do you think all the graphic designers, artists and theater performers come from? These people offer a very important service to society. Without the arts, there is no culture. These occupations really help enhance people's lives and show them how talented artists are. If we only used school for training future workers, these occupations would become few and far between, if not they may disappear completely. Artists and designers help create businesses, events and even popular franchises loved by millions. Theater performers bring joy to millions of people. Please rethink this next time you say school should only be used for training new workers and nothing else.

Re cover


The original cover of the book "Rascal: A Memoir of a Better Era" seems old and outdated by looking at it. It has faded colors, a drawn image and the particular style of the drawing itself seems like a product of it's time. For my recover, I used real, colored pictures and a font that, while reminiscent of the original time period, looks more updated and modern.
