0:00:06.407,0:00:10.697
Bibi muongeaji na mhalifu anayezurura[br]wakizozana katika barabara chafu.

0:00:10.697,0:00:14.798
Muuza Biblia anampeleka mwanafalsafa[br]mwenye mguu mmoja bandani.

0:00:14.798,0:00:19.641
Fundi anaesafiri anamfundisha mwanamke[br]kiziwi neno lake la kwanza shambani.

0:00:20.231,0:00:22.561
Kutoka shambani kwake vijijini Georgia,

0:00:22.561,0:00:25.053
akizungukwa na kundi la ndege wa kufugwa,

0:00:25.053,0:00:27.533
Flannery O'Connor aliandika simulizi[br]za waliotengwa,

0:00:27.533,0:00:31.363
wavamizi na wasioleweka waliunda[br]dunia aliyoifahamu vizuri:

0:00:31.753,0:00:33.013
Marekani Kusini.

0:00:33.513,0:00:34.962
Alichapisha riwaya mbili,

0:00:35.202,0:00:37.652
lakini anajulikana zaidi[br]kwa simulizi zake fupi,

0:00:37.852,0:00:42.612
ambazo zilichunguza maisha ya mji mdogo kwa[br]lugha kali, na ucheshi usio wa kawaida,

0:00:42.752,0:00:45.152
na mazingira ya kufurahisha yenye karaha.

0:00:45.482,0:00:48.538
Kwenye muda wake wa ziada O'Connor[br]alichora katuni,

0:00:48.538,0:00:51.088
na uandishi wake pia[br]umejaa masihara.

0:00:51.088,0:00:56.088
Kwenye simulizi zake, mama na sura[br]"pana na ya upole kama kabichi",

0:00:56.768,0:00:59.858
mwanaume ana nguvu sana kama "dekio la[br]sakafuni",

0:01:00.268,0:01:03.217
na mwili wa mwanamke mmoja[br]una umbo kama "chombo cha kuzika".

0:01:04.247,0:01:06.787
Majina ya wahusika wake yamejawa ujanja.

0:01:07.147,0:01:10.127
Chukulia simulizi "Maisha Unayoyaokoa[br]Yanaweza Kuwa ya Kwako",

0:01:10.257,0:01:13.257
ambapo mtembezi mwenye mkono mmoja[br]Tom Shiftlet anaenda kwenye maisha

0:01:13.257,0:01:15.767
ya ajuza mmoja aitwae Lucynell Crater

0:01:15.767,0:01:17.737
na binti yake ambaye ni kiziwi na bubu.

0:01:17.737,0:01:19.767
Japo mama Carter anajiamini,

0:01:19.767,0:01:21.967
nyumba yake iliyojitenga inaanguka.

0:01:22.197,0:01:25.107
Mwanzoni, tunaweza kushuku nia za Shiflet

0:01:25.107,0:01:27.297
alipojitolea kusaidia kwenye nyumba,

0:01:27.297,0:01:29.957
lakini O'Connor anaenda kuonyesha[br]kuwa yule ajuza ni

0:01:29.957,0:01:32.547
mjanja kama mgeni wake asiotarajiwa-

0:01:32.547,0:01:35.697
na kutikisa mategemeo ya msomaji[br]kuhusu nani ana faida zaidi.

0:01:35.857,0:01:38.467
Kwa O'Connor, hamna somo lililokuwa[br]na kizuizi.

0:01:38.847,0:01:40.637
Japo alikuwa ni Mkatoliki aliyejitoa,

0:01:40.637,0:01:42.767
hakuogopa kufuatilia uwezekano

0:01:42.767,0:01:45.007
wa mawazo mema na tabia isiyo njema,

0:01:45.007,0:01:46.967
inayokuwepo kwa mtu mmoja.

0:01:47.027,0:01:49.317
Kwenye riwaya yake ya Wajeuri[br]Wanaiondolea Mbali,

0:01:49.317,0:01:52.797
mhusika mkuu anatingwa na mawazo[br]ya kuwa mtu wa Mungu -

0:01:52.987,0:01:55.637
lakini pia anawasha moto na kuua.

0:01:55.757,0:01:59.907
Kitabu kinaanza na nabii amaesita[br]akiwa kwenye nafasi yenye utata:

0:02:00.037,0:02:04.237
"Mjomba wa Francis Marion Tarwater[br]alikua amekufa kwa nusu siku tu

0:02:04.287,0:02:07.597
pale huyo mvulana alipolewa sana akashindwa[br]kumalizia kuchimba kaburi lake".

0:02:07.597,0:02:11.648
Hii inamuacha mpita njia "kuvuta[br]mwili kutoka kwenye meza ya chai

0:02:11.668,0:02:13.728
ambapo ulikuwa umekaa bado na[br]kuuzika [...]

0:02:13.728,0:02:16.358
na udongo wa kutosha kwa juu[br]kuzuia mbwa kuufukua".

0:02:17.068,0:02:19.108
Japokuwa siasa zake bado ni za kulumbana,

0:02:19.108,0:02:22.518
bunilizi ya O'Connor inaweza pia[br]kulinganishwa na ubaguzi wa Kusini.

0:02:23.218,0:02:25.768
Kwenye "Kila Kinachopanda Lazima[br]Kikutane",

0:02:25.788,0:02:28.508
anaelezea mvulana anayechukizwa[br]na upendeleo wa mama yake.

0:02:28.698,0:02:31.598
Lakini simulizi inaelezea kuwa[br]ana mapungufu yake

0:02:31.658,0:02:34.048
na inasema kwamba kuyagundua mabaya tu

0:02:34.048,0:02:36.598
haitetei tabia yake kutokuthibitiwa.

0:02:36.608,0:02:39.857
Hata O'Connor anavyochunguza[br]mambo potofu ya ubinadamu,

0:02:39.917,0:02:42.577
anaacha mlango wa ukombozi wazi kidogo.

0:02:42.817,0:02:45.007
Kwenye "Mwanaume Mzuri ni Mgumu Kupata",

0:02:45.007,0:02:48.897
anamkomboa ajuza anayeteseka kwa[br]kumsamehe mshitakiwa aliyekubuhu,

0:02:48.992,0:02:51.232
hata anavyoikaribia familia yake.

0:02:51.762,0:02:54.987
Japo tunaweza kushtushwa na malipo[br]anayolipa huyu mama kusamehewa,

0:02:54.987,0:02:57.427
tunalazimika kukabiliana na[br]yanayoendelea kwenye mda

0:02:57.427,0:03:00.367
tunapoweza kuzingatia kuwa[br]ukatili au ubaya.

0:03:00.367,0:03:02.777
Uwezo wa O'Connor wa ajabu

0:03:02.777,0:03:06.131
na tafiti zake za kujitenga na[br]ushirikina wa Kusini

0:03:06.391,0:03:09.681
ulimpelekea kutambuliwa kama[br]mwandishi wa Kigothi wa Kusini.

0:03:09.681,0:03:12.371
Lakini kazi yake ilisogea kupita[br]tabia za kijinga kabisa

0:03:12.371,0:03:14.936
na za kutisha zilizohusishwa[br]na huo mtindo

0:03:14.936,0:03:18.316
kuvumbua tofauti na mchanganyiko[br]wa tabia za binadamu.

0:03:18.336,0:03:20.776
Alijua baadhi ya hii tofauti[br]ilileta karaha,

0:03:20.796,0:03:23.286
na kuwa hadithi zake zingekuwa[br]na ladha inayohitajika -

0:03:23.286,0:03:25.976
lakini alisikia raha kuwachanganya[br]wasomaji wake,

0:03:26.136,0:03:29.136
O'Connor alikufa kwa lupus akiwa[br]na miaka 39,

0:03:29.136,0:03:33.396
baada ya ugonjwa kumweka shambani mwake[br]Georgia kwa miaka kumi na mbili.

0:03:33.556,0:03:35.036
Kwenye miaka hiyo,

0:03:35.036,0:03:37.316
aliandika kazi zake nyingi[br]alizokuwa akiwaza.

0:03:37.416,0:03:40.246
Uwezo wake wa kuhama kati ya[br]maudhi na uvumbuzi

0:03:40.376,0:03:44.536
unaendelea kuvutia wasomaji kwenye[br]dunia yake ya kufikirika isiyoisha.

0:03:44.696,0:03:47.176
Kama mhusika Tom Shirlet anavyosema,

0:03:47.436,0:03:49.316
mwili ni "kama nyumba:

0:03:49.416,0:03:50.696
haiendi popote,

0:03:50.766,0:03:53.750
lakini roho, mwanamke,[br]ni kama gari moto:

0:03:53.880,0:03:56.150
daima lipo kwenye mwendo".
