Most of the questions that Holson asks during her essay are directed towards the small town folk that live in the town where Napolean Dynamite was filmed. She talks to people in the tourist bureau to see how the films poppularity had elevated the status of Preston. She seeks answers to a modern phenomenon caused by hollywood and outside media. The other group that Holson questions repeadetley are the visitors for the Napolean Dynamite festival. She is intrigued by the devotion of fans and dedication that they show for such a small scale production. She often asks visitors how far they traveled to come to the festival and what their attraction was to the film. These interviews were conducted in person while holson was attending the napolean dynamite fest in Preston, IA.
Regarding the decision about my project I feel that C and D describe the angle I am trying to portray about my location. D would be more directly related since I know my person did not live 200 years ago. They will obviously be telling accounts or re-told stories. My spot is very historical and personal to me. It is a historical location for really all American's, personaly I have a deeper connection to the Ohio River and Lewis and Clark voyage because of my anncestor who contributed. D is more about using their information given, C is about their experiences.
