Fumana iinyani
Ukuba ubundithembisile ukukhwela kumatshini wexesha xa ndandineminyaka esithoba ubudala, ngendazi ngqo apho ndifuna ukuya khona: Ilizwe loovulindlela, malunga no-1880, apha ndiyeza. Ndandiphantsi kwesipelingi sikaLaura Ingalls Wilder & apos; s iincwadi zeNdlu encinci, eyayithandwa ngumama eseyintombazana kwaye wayedlulisela kum ngokukhawuleza nje ukuba ndifunde. Ndandinebhonethi, njengoLaura, kunye nelokhwe yekalikuni, njengoLaura, kwaye ndandihlala ngokuhlwa ebusika kwisitulo sam esincinci esinyikimayo ndisenza iziphatho ngakwisitovu seenkuni kwindlu yethu eseNew York — hayi ngokuchanekileyo njengoLaura, kuba abaphathi beebhotile babeyinylon kunye neTV yayivuliwe. Kodwa yayikufutshane nokuba yintombazana enguvulindlela njengoko ndandiza kufumana. Konke ukuthetha, mna nomama sasingabalandeli abakhulu, yindlela esazifumana ngayo kwiminyaka engama-20 kamva kwiRoute 60 ngaphandle kwaseSpermfield, eMissouri.
SasiseLaura Ingalls Wilder Uhambo lwendlela -Iintsuku ezintlanu, i-800 yeekhilomitha, eMissouri ukuya ku-South Dakota uhambo oluya kwiindawo uWilder abhale ngazo kwiincwadi zakhe ezisithoba. Mna noMama besingengabo kuphela abathatha uhambo: Iintsomi zeWilder & apos ziye zabathengisa kakhulu apha naphandle kwamazwe ukusukela eyokuqala, Indlu encinci kwiWood Woods , yapapashwa ngo-1932, kwaye ehlotyeni isityalo esitsha sabalandeli bakaLaura batyelela iimyuziyam kwaye bazimase imincili ethe yavela malunga namabali.
Indawo yethu yokuqala yokumisa, iRocky Ridge Farm eMansfield, eMissouri, ziiLourdes zohambo. Kule ndlu yefama yokuhambahamba ngokungxolayo, eyakhiwe nguWilder kunye nomyeni wakhe, uAlmanzo, umbhali wayephila eneminyaka engama-27 de wasweleka eneminyaka engama-90, ngo-1957. Kwakuchulumancisa ukubona i-ofisi encinci, esecaleni apho uWilder wabhala khona iincwadi zakhe zeNdlu encinci. Ipensile kwiincwadana zamanqaku ezityheli. Iziko lolondolozo lwembali liphethe eminye yemibhalo-ngqangi kunye nobuncwane bosapho obuqhelekileyo kuye wonke umfundi: ipeni ephethwe ngeeperile, iLaura & apos; iglasi yesonka, iMary & apos; ibreyile slate, kunye nePa & apos; fiddle, awayeyidlala ngelixa uLaura kunye udadewabo wayecula iingokuhlwa kude.
Emva kokhenketho lwaseMansfield, abemi abayi-1,346 — ibhanki yokonga imali yelitye lentlabathi, ilitye eliyintloko le-apos elikufutshane nomthi we-oki osasazekileyo-sibaleke saya ngasemantla sisiya eKansas City, eMissouri, apho satyeba saya kwi-barbecue yosuku olulandelayo ngasentshona Iowa. Olu hambo luthathe iiyure ezilithoba, ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yokulahlekiswa kwamathafa amakhulu: inkuku eqhotsiweyo kwiKettle yelizwe, ukuthengwa kwe-CD engxamisekileyo eWal-Mart, kunye nembono entle yoMlambo iMissouri ukusuka kwiibluffs ngaphezulu kweSioux City.
Iidolophu ezininzi ukusuka eWisconsin ukuya eKansas zinonxibelelwano lweNdlu encinci-njengoninzi loovulindlela, usapho lakwa-Ingalls luqhubeka nokuhamba-kodwa iWalnut Grove, eMinnesota, apho usapho lwaluhlala khona lucima iminyaka emine, lutsala izihlwele. I-blink-and-you-miss-it town ikwindawo edumileyo Indlu encinci kwiNdawo Umboniso weTV, owawusasazwa ngo-1974 ukuya ku-1984.
Nge-11 ngentsasa elandelayo, iMyuziyam yaseWalnut Grove kunye neapos; iLaura Ingalls Wilder Museum yayigcwele amantombazana kwiibhanti ezisicaba kunye neebhonethi. Emva kokubona indawo yokugcina izinto zobugcisa eMansfield, saphoxeka yimyuziyam kunye nemiboniso yothuli enikezelwe kumdlalo weTV, kodwa abantwana babengenangqondo. 'Ndiyazithanda iincwadi ezingcono kunomboniso weTV kuba zinezibakala eziyinyani, utshilo uDenise Richter oneminyaka eli-10, no & apos; d owayehamba nosapho lwakhe besuka eBurr Oak, eIowa, kwaye ngokucacileyo wayewubambe lo mboniso.
Olona nyango lolo suku, nangona kunjalo, yayikukundwendwela iPlum Creek, apho usapho lakwaIngalls luhlala khona unyaka kwindlu yesod ebekwe ebhankini. Indlu kudala yabuyela emhlabeni, kodwa yonke into igcina imali yokungena kwiidola ezintathu kanye njengoko ichaziwe nguWilder Kwiibhanki zePlum Creek . Ukufunda kwakhona incwadi, I & apos; d ndifumana eli nqaku lisuka kwinqanaba lokuqala lombhali kunye ne-apos emlanjeni: 'Udaka lukhame phakathi kweenzwane zikaLaura. . . . Kwakukho iintlanzi ezincinci emanzini. . . umncinci kakhulu ubunokubabona. Kuphela xa behamba ngokukhawuleza ngamanye amaxesha isisu esiliqili sivele. Xa uLaura noMary bemi ngxi ezi ntlanzi zincinci zangqinga iinyawo zabo zaza zangqubeka. '
Kundithathe nje umzuzu ukukhulula izihlangu neekawusi zam. Iinzwane zam zatshona kumazantsi oludongwe, kwaye iintlanzi ezincinci zadada malunga neenyawo zam. Amehlo amnyama uSusans afikelela phezulu, imithi yeplum yasendle yema ngeenxa zonke. Ubunyani obuncinci yayiyi-Walnut Grove kunye ne-apos; iphepha, 'iziqwenga zephupha.' Kubhaliwe kwiminyaka engama-25 eyadlulayo, kwaye kuthathwe isigqibo sokuba icawe ithathe ubomi bukaLaura, kwaye yandibetha ngokungangqinelani nenkolo yakhe eyomeleleyo kodwa engafikelelekiyo. Okwangoku, abantu ababukele abanakukwazi ukubethwa: Umfazi omncinci oyame ngendoda yakhe & amadolo ajike amaphepha e Kwiibhanki zePlum Creek Ngelixa esonwabisa usana lwabo. Kufuphi nomama wafundela iintombi ezimbini le ncwadi ngokuvakalayo.
Ngentsasa elandelayo, emva kweekhilomitha ezili-110 ukuqhuba ngasentshona kuLaura Ingalls Wilder Historic Highway, safika eDe Smet, eSouth Dakota, apho usapho lakwaIngalls lwagqibela ukuhlala khona, nolugcwele iindawo zembali. Nantsi indlu enkulu enamakhaka amhlophe apho uMa noPa baphila khona, kunye namangcwaba enduli apho uninzi losapho lungcwatyelwe khona. Iikhilomitha ezimbalwa kumantla edolophu, silandele umkhondo otyhafileyo ukuya encotsheni yonyuko oluncinci apho uLaura noAlmanzo & apos; Amabhabhathane amthubi adanisa ngaphezulu kobumhlophe obukhazimlayo basekuseni, kwaye umoya wasezantsi owomeleleyo nozinzileyo wayicekisa ingca ebengezelayo. It & apos; s yathi ukuvutha okungokoqobo kwaqhubela abanye oovulindlela ukuba baphambane. Kodwa umbhali, omnye, wakufumanisa kuyonwabisa.
Ngaloo mvakwemini sasindwendwele indawo yekhaya lase-Ingalls ekuqaleni kwe-1880 & apos; s, iminyaka ibaliswa Ngamanxweme eSilver Lake kunye nezinye iincwadi. ISilver Lake inyamalele, igcwalisiwe yaza yalinywa, kodwa iBig Slough, indawo enamanzi engcongolo kunye nengca yethambeka. Kufuphi nayo kumi imithi yomqhaphu eyatyalwa nguPa, nganye nganye nguMa, uMary, uLaura, uCarrie noGrace. Ngoku uneminyaka engama-120 ubudala, imithi mikhulu kakhulu, ineziqu ezishinyeneyo kunye namasebe aphakathi. Kwintsimi ekufuphi nemithi yomqhaphu sasilinde ukuba kuqalwe ukhuphiswano lwePrairie Patchwork. Abantwana babaleka bejikeleza iqonga langaphandle, bephambene luvuyo ngenxa yamahashe kunye neenqwelo, iimpahla, kunye neelekese ezininzi. Okumangalisa kukuba, i-amateur cast lip-synched ngexesha lomsebenzi, kodwa umgca webali, oqala ngokufika kosapho lakwaIngalls eDe Smet kunye nokuphela kukaLaura no-Almanzo & apos; ukuthandana, kwakuyinto ethembekileyo kwiincwadi kunephepha eliseWalnut Grove. . Kwaye yintoni ongayithandiyo xa uphantsi kwesibhakabhaka esikhulu, esineenkwenkwezi kunye namakhulu ambalwa abanye abalandeli abafana nawe?
Kwindlela entle yaseMidwestern yokwazi, abaququzeleli bamema isihlwele ukuba siqhwabe izandla xa ilizwe okanye ilizwe labo libizwa, kwaye mna noMama sawangawangisa ngamandla eNew York. Xa babebuza ukuba ngubani ovela eJapan, ndeva kuqhwatywa izandla emva kwam ndajika ndabona isibini esitshatileyo esinomntwana omncinane, owayencumile eneentloni kwibhonethi yakhe nakwilokhwe ye-gingham. 'Ewe, thina & apos sisuka eTokyo, utshilo utata ngebhongo, ephethe uLaura wakhe omncinci,' kodwa ngowaseMinnesota. '
Umoya wethafa ovuthuzayo uvuthuza intsimi, ugoba iintloko zemithi ye-Pa & apos; s umthi womthi womthi kunye nokuthumela izikethi ezinde ezibetha ibala. Ngexesha lendawo yokufundela, umphathi wesikolo waguqukela kubaphulaphuli wasicela ukuba sime kwaye sicule 'Ilizwe Lami Tis Kuwe.' Sonke senze njalo, ukusukela kwinzala ka-Laura & apos; abahlobo kunye nabamelwane ukuya koovulindlela abatsha abasuka kunxweme lwangaphandle, kwaye amazwi ethu aqengqeleka ubusuku bonke ngendlela uLaura & apos ekufuneka enayo njengoko wayecula, kwakudala, kwindlu yakhe encinci ethafeni .
