Questions for Hilton Als (By Anne McCullom)
1. Isn’t it kind of “luxury” to live all life and just at 60 realize (Fonda) that she can be her own person? Based what you made this assumption?
2. Did the image of Fonda in your mind change while writing this article? How long it took you to write it?
3. I felt sad after I finished reading the article on Fonda. There are raw, tender emotions in it: specifically the part where you say that she only got acknowledged in her movies; no applause as a human being. Being actress is her reward and price, don’t you think?

Conflict Story Proposal
With people in the community feuding over their children’s education, schooling seems to have become a competition as opposed to a privilege. A space in a school building called the Jackie Robinson Complex is up for grabs which has caused a division between parents and the schools. One side feels they deserve the spot while the other appears to be the school that will be allowed to occupy it.
The East Harlem Scholars Academy and Central Park East I and II are the schools involved. Central Park East I is located in the building but they were hoping to occupy the space available to expand its program and they believe they should have gotten it since they’ve been asking for a spot for about 4 years. On the other hand the East Harlem Scholars Academy is investing $40 million in private money and with a March 11th meeting with Community Board 11’s Youth and Education Committee; it would appear that they will likely be granted the opportunity so they can expand their program. Is education becoming a “bidding” war or granted to who invests the most money? Or it might be that charter schools are filling the void where some people might say some public schools have failed. Are more public schools going to phase out and be replaced with Charters? Parents from both sides might not see eye to eye and after the hearing on March 11th it will be interesting to see how both sides react even though there might not be any real winners.

Question For Hilton Als
The article we read on Jane Fonda by Hilton Als was a great read filled with wonderful detail. I would ask Als how he got all of those details from so many different situations over such a long period of time. Was he actually there for all of them? This article read like new journalism to me and I would be curious as to how he got details like what Fonda was drinking at her kids wedding, what her husband said in his speech, etc.

Questions
I would like to ask Hilton Als:
1. How do you come up with the ideas or the themes for your writing. Since there are so many topics that were mentioned and written about in one way or another in various publications, how do you work on your writing to make it stand out? To make it necessary to be heard and read?
2. How did the new digital era change your skills and approach to writing. Do you think it made it easier to search for information through multiple search engines and academic archives, or back in the days when writers had to physically search for their information, the work was done more efficiently?
3. Which advice from your own experience would you give to the beginners?
