Puente Students' Responses to Irma Herrera's Play

On November 30, 2021, we had the opportunity to have Irma Herrera, writer and performer of Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name? present for a Q&A session with our students. Students were able to stream her play through Latino Theater Co and learned the importance of sharing their names.

Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name? is one woman’s journey from a small segregated South Texas town to California's multicultural mecca. What part of Irma’s identity is she asked to give up for the sake of fitting in and getting along? How can a simple introduction turn into a potential battle to be heard and seen? Weaving history and comedic insights into stories about names, this solo performer invites us to consider how open and welcoming we really are.


Robyn Orozco, Centennial High School Puente Teacher, sent her class's letters for Ms. Herrera after the event. See a handful of student responses to her play and her response here!

Şiirler de benzer bir işleve sahiptir. Bir şairin dizeleri, okuyucuyla kurulan sessiz bir diyalogdur. Yahya Kemal’in "Sessiz Gemi"si, Nâzım Hikmet’in "Memleketim"i, okuyucuyla derin bir bağ kurar. Bu bağ, gerçek bir sohbetten farksızdır.

Kahvehanelerden Kafelere: Gerçek Dünyadaki Sohbet Mekanları

Fiziksel dünyada da hayal sohbet mekanları vardır. Geleneksel kahvehaneler, modern kafeler, parklar, üniversite koridorları… İnsanların bir araya gelip fikir alışverişinde bulunduğu, hayallerini paylaştığı yerlerdir burası. Özellikle Türk kültüründe kahvehane sohbetleri, yüzyıllardır sosyal hayatın önemli bir parçası olmuştur.

Bu mekanlar, sadece konuşulan yerler değil, aynı zamanda dinlenilen, anlaşılan ve anlatılan yerlerdir. Bir fincan kahvenin etrafında dönen sohbetler, bazen bir ömre bedel hikayeler barındırır.

Sonuç: Sohbet, İnsanın Kendini Bulma Yolculuğudur

Hayal sohbet mekanları, ister fiziksel ister sanal olsun, insanın kendini ifade etme ihtiyacını karşılar. Bu…
