Napoleon Dynamite(Prompt #1) In Napoleon Dynamite, the lead character faces many challenges: living at home with his caring (but domineering) grandmother and his ambitious but incompetent brother, as well as being tormented at school. When his grandmother leaves and is unable to come back, she sends swarthy Uncle Rico to take care of the boys. Although generally good-hearted, he and the boys don’t always see eye-to-eye. Based on what you’ve seen so far, is Uncle Rico’s presence necessary, or are the boys capable of taking care of themselves? In your essay, take a position on this question. Use specific examples from the text and your own reasons to support your position.
Napoleon Dynamite(Prompt #2) Kip and Napoleon, products of their environment, have led what some might think are quite lonely existences.

In contrast, Uncle Rico – a seeming model of confidence – has not been successful in finding happiness. What impediments keep Uncle Rico from acquiring happiness in life? In a well-developed essay, take a position on this question. Use specific reasons and examples from the film to support your position.
