Hunger Trilogy
This autobiographical novella was written in 1980 by one of China’s leading dissidents, who was released from jail in late October 1990 again after being imprisoned as a pro-democracy activist in the wake of the Tiananmen incident of spring 1989. Wang recounts three episodes of extreme hardship in his life: incarceration in a Guomindang jail during the 1930s for his communist activism, on the run from Japanese troops during the 1940s in a bleak part of Shandong Province, and imprisonment as a “rightist” in Shanghai during the 1960s cultural revolution. The central theme of the three stories is extreme deprivation and “Hunger”.

THE PRIMAL FEAR: THE LANGUAGE OF THE FUTURE IN THE HUNGER GAMES
The Hunger Games series was banned to begin with before even it became a cult classic because of its anti-family concerns, the rebellion and the attitude of challenging the governmental authority. The system of futuristic governance is a warning to the readers, especially the teens of tomorrow as to how their lives would be in future if they continue to remain complacent about the ways of the authorities who rule them over. There is crime, retribution and rebellion each of which has its causes, consequences and repercussions. The paper aims to look at the struggle for food which Katniss and Dale confront to take care of their families written in the language of the future. The words which the author has coined for the future and the shades of meaning that they give are also highlighted.

Gaza is the New Panem
For years, the Hunger Games franchise has captivated Nasrallah's heart and imagination, immersing him farther into its dystopian world with each viewing. Initially, he saw these movies, based on the Suzanne Collins trilogy, as pure fiction, far removed from reality. Little did he know that the lines between fantasy and their own reality in Gaza would one day blur. In the movies, events are set in Panem, a fictitious nation dominated by the iron grip of a tyrannical regime known as the Capitol. Panem is divided into 12 districts, each marked by its own shade of poverty. While the districts grapple with exploitation, oppression and despair, the Capitol basks in excessive wealth. The ones in charge maintain power by controlling the food supply. They starve the people of the districts and turn them against one another to compete for survival in the Hunger Games. From the fictional divisions of Panem to the all-too-real landscapes of Palestine, the themes of the film continue.

Fantasy Inspired by Culture
The Western world has a long history of constructing the 'Other' based on white conceptions of humanity, zeroing in on \"biological features such as skin pigmentation, hair texture, eye colour, and facial features\" not only to \"classify people into different racial groups but also, unfortunately, to justify preconceived notions of each race's behavioural characteristics and mental abilities.\" For all the books I read as a child that shaped my love for speculative fiction-books by J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K Rowling, O.R. Melling, Eoin Colfer, and many more-I could not for the life of me envision a Black female character as a protagonist in any of them, until the age of 14 when I said, \"You know what? For all the books she read, it wasn't until she was 17 years old in Canada that she read a book starring a person of colour, and as much as she'd been wanting stories like these, it still felt somehow absurd: \"Like, is this allowed? Nafiza told me she wrote Road of the Lost, about an enchanted brownie who must journey to the Otherworld to discover her true identity, as a direct response to Enid Blyton, a white English children's author whose books littered Fiji schools and libraries.
