Karapu Lit: Te Karapu Pukapuka TUTURU
Mesquite, Nevada
E kī ana tēnei rōpū ko rātou te karapu pukapuka TUTURU. Ko koutou katoa? Āe, ehara koutou i te TUTURU. Aroha mai.
Ko te karapu pukapuka TUTURU? Kāore ianei ētahi atu karapu pukapuka i te tūturu?
Ehara rātou i te karapu TUTURU. Ko tō mātou ingoa e tohu ana i Rngenge Epūngao, Awhakamataku LE hoa mā. He rōpū wāhine kua reti mātou, tekau mā whā, i whakatū i tā mātou karapu i ngā tau e rima ki muri.
He tika. Nō reira, kei hea kōrua e tūtaki ai?
I roto i ngā kāinga o tētahi, o tētahi—ā, mā te kaihautū mātou e whāngai. I ētahi wā he nui ngā kai, i ētahi wā he pīta noa iho. Kāore he aha: he mea pai noa te kai tahi me te kai tahi. Ko te kaupapa he whakahoahoa me te kōrero.
He aha ngā pukapuka kua pānuihia e koe?
He uaua ki te maumahara (kua reti mātou, nā te mea). Ina hoki, mā te whakakotahi i ā mātou putea mahara (me ngā īmēra) i puta mai ai tā mātou rārangi i te tau kua hipa:
Te Kaiwhakarongo
Ārai Tōtīra
Peony i te Aroha
Mekameka Mutunga Kore, nā Emilie Richards
Moutere nikau nā Dorothea Benton Frank
Te tamāhine a te Kaitiaki Mahara
Te Wahine a te Kaihanga Nohoanga nā Earlene Fowler
Kāinga ki te Big Stone Gap
Kuini Tiihi
Te Rātaka a Susan mā Nicholas
Miriona Piihi Iti
He aha ngā mea tino pai ki a koe i ngā tau 5 kua pahure ake nei?
Te Kite Whakawhiti—he kōrero e kore e taea e koe te mutu te whakaaro ki muri i tō panuitanga. Ngā Wāhine Whare Riri e Kai Ana i ngā Bon Bons i puta ai he maha ngā kōrero mō ngā whakahoahoa. I aroha hoki mātou ki Kanikani Hotoke mō te reihi reti kurī a Alaskan Iditarod me Ko te Da Vinci Code.
He aha te mea e pai ai te pukapuka?
Ko ngā pukapuka e whakaputa kōrero pai ana kei roto i ā mātou tino pai, ahakoa he mea tino rerekē te pai ki a mātou katoa ki te pukapuka kotahi. Inaa, kāore a Elaine, tō mātou mema, e pai ki te nuinga o ā mātou pukapuka kia tīmata rā anō mātou ki te kōrero mō aua pukapuka—kātahi ka huri haere ōna whakaaro. Ka whiwhi ia i tētahi tirohanga rerekē i te wā o te kōrero, ā, ka whakaaroaro anō i ōna whakaaro taketake. "Kia marino tōku ngākau. Hei kaiako o mua, ko te mea tino whakahihiri mō te whakaako tuhinga ko te whakatuwhera i ngā hinengaro me te huri i ngā ngākau."Kaiwhakatika]
Ko ēhea pukapuka i arahi ki ngā kōrero tino pai?
- Te Ārai Tortilla tērā pea he uaua nā te mea he kaupapa tōrangapū tōna—he manene mai. I puta ko te kōrero he tino pai, ā, i whai wāhi mai te katoa ki tētahi tirohanga. Kāore tetahi i riri, i whakahē rānei.
- Te Kaiwhakarongo, he pukapuka poto, māmā hoki, he ia whakahihiri hoki, i nui te kōrero i puta.
- He Miriona Pepe Itiiti, me tana kaupapa mō te waranga—me te mea i tautoko a Oprah i te pukapuka, ā, i mōhio ia kua teka te kaituhi mō te nuinga o te kōrero—i arahina ai ki tētahi kōrero pai.
He tohutohu kōrero anō tāu e taea ai te whakapuaki mai ki a mātou?
He tino āwhina ngā pātai kōrero e kitea ana e tātou i runga i te Ipurangi i a tātou ki te waihanga kōrero oraora, whakamere hoki. He maha ngā wā ka taea e tātou te ako atu mō tātou anō, inā koa ka pā ā tātou wheako whaiaro ki te pūrākau e pānuihia ana e tātou. Ki te kore tātou e whakamahi i ngā pātai kua whakaritea, ka papaku noa iho ā tātou kōrero, ka memeha noa iho rānei.
Me pēhea tāu whiriwhiri i ō pukapuka?
Ka whiriwhiri mātou i te kotahi i te marama—mā te whakamahi i te pūnaha hurihuri. Ko te tangata e manaaki ana i te hui ka whiriwhiri i te pukapuka. Engari ki te kore e taea e te kaihautū te whakaaro i tētahi mea, ka tukuna katoatia e mātou ngā whakaaro. Ko tētahi mema, ko Lucile, he rite ki te whare pukapuka hīkoi: he nui āna pānui, ā, ka maumahara ki ngā taipitopito, me te whakarāpopototanga, o ngā mea katoa i pānuihia e ia. He tino pai tonu āna whakaaro.
Ka whakahaerehia e koe ngā hui kaupapa motuhake?
Āe, kua oti i a mātou ētahi kaupapa tino ngahau kua honoa ki roto i ngā pukapuka:
- hoki Te Ārai Tortilla E rua ngā momo kai i runga i te tahua hei whakaatu i ngā ahurea e rua o ngā kiripuaki matua. He champagne me he quiche mō te tokorua Anglo-Yuppie; he tequila Sunrises me he chili rellanas mō te tokorua Hispanic.
- hoki Chocolat, he rawe te whakaaturanga a Marjorie me te nui o ngā tiakarete.
- hoki Te Kohuru Keke Tīhi Cherry (Joanne Fluke)...he keke tīhi, koia rā.
- hoki Te Mowhiti Marena (Emilie Richards), he tauira kuīti i puta noa i te pūrākau, i whakaaturia e mātou ngā kuīti, i wharikihia ki runga i te arawhata o te kāpata o tō mātou kaihautū.
Kua mahia e koe tētahi mea i tua atu i ō hui o ia rā?
Āe! I tērā tau i haere mātou ki te whakarongo ki a Amy Tan e pānui ana i Las Vegas. I tētahi atu wā i tūtaki mātou ki Pine Valley, he kāpata kei reira ētahi o ō mātou mema, ā, e rua ā rātou kāpata, e wehea ana te wā i waenga i te tina i tētahi kāpata me te kai reka i tētahi atu. Nā te ahi ngahere i ngā maunga i akiaki mātou ki te whakakore i tētahi atu haerenga ki reira.
Me pēhea tāu whakarāpopototanga mō tō karapu?
He māmā noa iho. I tīmata māua he wahine noa iho e hiahia ana ki te pānui pukapuka, engari kua noho māua hei rōpū hoa piripono. I roto i ngā tau, kua mōhio māua tetahi ki tetahi, kua toro atu ki ngā kāinga o tetahi, ā, kua whanake hei hoa e aroha nui ana tetahi ki tetahi.
