Napoleon DYnamite

1) What did you think of Napoleon the first time you saw him?
I thought he looked interesting, although he did seemed a bit awkward and dorky. 
2) Do you think the movie is a comedy? Do you think some people will say it wasn’t?
Depending on what you think is funny, this movie can definitely be considered funny. However, my sense of humor is a little different. 
3) How do you think Napoleon saw himself?
    Did he think he was a dork or a nerd?
    Did he care?
Napoleon didn't care as much in my opinion, he was just doing his own thing and felt comfortable being himself despite how odd he may come off to others his age. 

4) Do you think Napoleon had any nun chuck skills?
    How about poison dart skills?
    Did he have skills as an artist?
    What were his best skills?
Napoleon did not have any nunchuck or poison dart skills, no. Nonetheless, his friend pointed out that it was acceptable that he didn't because he was a decent artist. He debatably had drawing skills. 

5) Who do you think this movie is funniest for: former Napoleons, current Napoleons, or anti-Napoleons? Explain.
I think this movie is funniest to current Napoleons, they might have a better time watching considering they can relate to his character and reflect on their own. 
6) What is the “social order” in your high school? 
    Who’s at the top? (no names)
    Where do you think Napoleon would fit in?
    Where is your place?
The "social order" in my high school -- all the rich, somewhat attractive, and mediocrely funny kids at the top. Napoleon would fit in with the kids who play video  games and look like they do well in school, but actually do the bare minimum. I fit in with the kids who don't play video games and look like they do well in school, but actually do the bare minimum.

7) Would you vote for Pedro or Summer? Why?
I'd vote for Pedro, I just prefer his personality. Anybody can be a "Summer". Someone like Pedro should win. 
8) What was Napoleon’s biggest problem?
    Kips?
    Uncle Rico’s? 
Napoleon's biggest problem was Uncle Rico's lack of encouragement and supportiveness for who Napoleon was. Uncle Rico seemed to get in the way of Napoleon's prosperity at times. The Kips was a running gag in the movie, as he tries to come off as a cool kid. The Kips seemed to struggle with self-image in my opinion. 
9) The official Napoleon Dynamite website says “He’s Out To Prove He Has Nothing To Prove.” What do you think this means?
This means Napoleon is not afraid to be who he is, and he's not afraid to prove that there is nothing wrong with that. Napoleon evokes how it's okay to be who you are, despite the "social order" society has created to make people like him feel like they don't belong. 

10) What’s one “Napoleon” thing about you?
I think my drawing skills are actually pretty decent, however, it's very questionable in reality.
11) Do you think Napoleon was happy? Explain.
I think he was happy, despite the circumstances others put him in. He was good at being himself no matter how different he seemed to his surroundings. He seemed happy the way he was. 

12) Why would Napoleon wears the boots all the time? Do you think he cared what others thought of him?
It made him standout and he feels comfortable in them. Napoleon did not care about what others thought of him since he kept wearing them. 

13) Did Napoleon get to “un-dork” himself or is he just a dork who can dance? 14) Where do you think Napoleon will be in twenty years?
    Pedro?
    Deb?
    Kip?
    Uncle Rico?
Napoleon is his own person, let the man live. He is a rockstar.

15) If you could have any mythical beast as a pet, what would it be? 
I want a half pug, half bunny. The head part is the pug. Bunny body. I don't know why yet.

16) If you could take any food (other than potatoes) and make it into a tot, what food would you choose? I'D PICK SOME PASTA.
