I thought he was a little slow and not quite developed as socially as he should be for his age.

I understand the movie to be a comedy, however there are lots of people who may see calling it a comedy to be offensive.

How about poison dart skills?

Former Napoleons, mainly because they can relate to the way that Napoleon feels.

Who’s at the top? (no names)
Where do you think Napoleon would fit in?
Where is your place?

The preppy/annoying/entitled kids.

The importance of art

"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period."

I could not disagree with this statement more. Art, music, and theater are all ways to express emotion and creativity. Having a creative outlet is important to students because their other classes create a lot of stress and art, music, and theater are all constructive ways to express emotion. Art is usually very personal to the artist and sometimes you can use art to understand how someone is feeling and help them before something bad happens. If students aren't allowed a creative outlet they tend to bottle up their emotions until they explode.

Recover

The art style is outdated as well as the flat colors. The book centers around a theme of loss and follows a boy and his raccoon on a journey of love and loss.
