Hey do u know any stationary stores in Malaysia?
Well done 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This video is so important!
Thank you for sharing. I just got a copy, can't wait to read.
Is there a manga in AENO's POPULAR?
You can find manga at Kinokuniya, KLCC.
Salam. Hi. Tqsm for the video. I enjoy it especially when it comes to the part about nationalism and your commentary about vernacular schools and whatnot. I may disagree on that reflecting on the current situations in Malaysia and my worldview but I appreciate it. Maybe you can elaborate more on that issue. Pertaining to the book itself, your review pretty much includes positive and negative feedback, which I enjoy a lot because it shows how deep you got into the book and at the same time you still can be objective. Respect that. Tqsm.
I guess being in an all-Malay environment for me whilst comforting and easy it led to this 'us vs them' mentality. That feeling of course is majorly contributed by ultranationalist boomers in my family whom I noticed speaks from a relatively stereotypical viewpoint of other race. And that feeling bleeds to not just social life but also for work as well. It took me years to finally be comfortable to work in a mixed office and now I actually prefer it. I realised how that feeling of doubt & suspicion kind of hinders my own progress in life. I bet that's how Dano views other race when he was in school as well. I am aware how much race & nationalism is just part of politics yet I find it tiresome, divisive and possibly dangerous. Most of the rhetorics (usually spewed by my aunts and uncles) really made me think I'm gonna get my Melayu card revoked if I'm on good terms with other race (when they themselves don't mingle with other race) or maybe I'm prioritising "outsiders". It's as if my Malay-ness has to be utterly ethnocentric. I'm glad that I'm also seeing my gens and the younger gens finding pride in the Malay culture but does it have to be isolating? I love my culture (despite my channel's language implied otherwise) but I don't have to view other race & culture as the Other to appreciate it.

Water melon? A very racist statement to make at the beginning to anyone in your audience who is not Palestinian. Do you understand why the books were written in the first place? To teach 12-18 year old students about politics and war. Try to understand that all the Hunger Games books are not talking about any specific conflict but ALL of them. They always follow the same pattern. Armenians, Koreans, South Americans, women. Pick any group that is mistreated AS A GROUP and it is always the same.
Lady, I apologise if you misunderstood my intention but this is actually a very common practice within the academic circle - taking fiction and using it as a lens for real life happenings. Although, my video is far from any sophisticated research papers. Currently, there are people who still don't understand what's happening in Palestine and this is simply an attempt on my part by using this book as a tool to explain. I am perfectly aware that any resemblance are purely coincidental as it is published way before any of the present horrors despite Suzanne Collins herself said THG was inspired by the Iraq war. But to say that THG is just simply fit any past or present conflict is also an oversimplification since most of them are very different and nuanced. Ofc, it's not referring to any specific conflict but to deny any inspiration it has taken from is...well... denial. Hope you can understand.
@@introvertinsane9411 really? Quite common practice in academic circles? Well as someone with only 3 post graduate degrees. I probably don't have your expertise to be able to understand that. (That is sarcasm by the way). Speculative and science fiction are the places one finds the most of these themes and this series of books is definitely in that group. Another you might try is quite old but could be coming true shortly is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. The Dune series is another.
Really? Well, then someone with such high credentials as you shouldn't waste your precious intellect to be offended by my humble video. My professors certainly didn't so why should you? Unless... of course it is offensive to you since it is from a 🍉 POV. Ofc, THG is speculative but speculative always has its real life inspiration. Dune set in thousands of years into the future has various inspiration from present and past of Arab Bedouins, Asia and many more. But who am I but a humble very tiny youtuber to talk about speculative fiction.
This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard from anyone in my entire life. People taking the media they consume and finding a way to relate it to a specific concept or their lived experience is like...the most fundamental thing about stories. You genuinely cannot be this dumb.
Suzanne Collins has explained that hunger games was largely inspired by how dystopian she found the experience of flipping between reality tv channels and news coverage of the Iraq war. Sure, there are themes that will apply to dehumanization and oppression of any group - especially the original series which is from the perspective of the oppressed - but this story, being from Snow’s perspective specifically, has a lot of nuanced observations on how the spectacle of violence, dehumanization and divisive/competitive systems of power manufacture the consent of and encourage contributions from the most privileged members of (North American) society. This is Collins showing us how such an oppressive system could be sustained and perpetuated over time. This is one of the most apt modern comparisons that the creator could possibly make, and her focusing on it for the purposes of this video essay is in no way racist towards or undermining of the oppression of other groups of people (especially ones that correlate less to Collins’ America-inspired themes. And no, the nuances of these situations are not always the same.)
Great video! Subbed
very interesting.
It's amazingly insightful video, and the world needs more analysis like this one. Thank you so much for your work, you've done something truly great!
I think the more parts I remember and see from the hunger games, the more parallels I draw between the hunger games and 🍉. I heard Suzanne Collins drew from seeing the Iraq war being broadcasted and then having to go to life as normal, so that could attribute to some of it. It’s got so many similarities to 🍉 that it makes me wonder how much she drew from the situation that she can’t/won’t talk about…
Suzanne Collins is literally jewish
Nothing wrong with being Jewish.
Holy shit, do you have to make everything about Palestine? Any sane person would see that this book is a complete fictional story and there is no correlation between the book and reality…
Of course it is fiction. But fiction has always been the way some people use to make sense of reality. It's just my opinion. I never said said Suzanne Collins based the story on Palestine but she did mention the initial idea was from Iraq war.
the scene in the movie where sejanus screamed about how the tributes were kids during the war reminded me of how zionists use the “voting for hamas” excuse even tho half of the Palestinian population at the time were just kids who werent born. Also the cognitive dissonance for the director francis lawrence to be a Zionist. Same thing w viola davis posting about standing w israel, esp seeing the speech of dr gaul lashing out on the screen about unleashing destruction and no victor after the kid died after the rebel bombing. . .
Wow! I have no idea Viola Davis and Francis Lawrence were zinos. 😨
This really does need more views, because it's so insightful. I'm watching the whole Hunger Games series with my friend at the moment because she's never seen it before and it's been a slap in the face at how similar the Capitol is to Israel. Amazing how prophetlike you can appear by just learning from history.
I had to take several breathers while reading because it felt too real.
Love your review and the long form content... Didn't even realize it was an hour long because the review and your thoughts were very compelling
Thanks! Any feedback on how I could make it better would be great.
@@introvertinsane9411 so far none from me Ur video was great can't wait for more analysis of books from u
I agree with you. A rather one-dimensional portrayal of Malay-Muslims (I'm biased of course, being a Malay Muslim myself).
I've just watched the netflix show and went on searching about the case. It's really hypocritical how they crusify Rachel about making money out of the situation but Anna's money frauds are seing as ok and even nice! But I do think they portraied well the anxiety and manipulation in Morrocco.
Yes! Thank you. That's what I'm trying to tell my friends who sides with Anna.
I read Does my head look big in this? by Randa Abdel-Fattah several years ago. Have you read it? I find it interesting in contrast, as the MC in the book chooses to use the hijab, and the family aren't crazy about it. Thanks for a very interesting video!
It's in my tbr. Will def check it out now!
@@introvertinsane9411 Cool! Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Another thing I forgot to add is how in our Malaysian community, if a non-Hijabi Muslim woman do something good, some people would immediately respond with "it's a shame she's not wearing a hijab". I forgot how I feel infuriated every time I see that because it's as if the woman's good deed doesn't count. I mean, all of a sudden people love to play God.
Where r u from
I totally agreeeee. But yeah Manes choose the family-spouse-love theme. Its okay, far better from ehem black novel ehem. 😂

HI sorry to ask 100 percent not trying to be rude but is it haram to read those like romances because I’m Muslim and read adult romances so should I stop I don’t really know btw love the vid ❤❤❤
This is just me but I guess it depends on how you feel and what type of romance novels you're reading. Some romance are quite raunchy and if you feel some type of way you can always skip the scenes if you want to finish it. Some of the lighter romance novels should be fine.

AssalamAlaikum I came across your video because I was looking for a review of this book and journal before ordering. I can appreciate how down to earth and honest you are in this video. I have had this book on my Amazon list for quite some time now and just began reading the reviews. I will be ordering the book and journal and I so look forward to both. Thanks again for your review. 😊 Oh and after I read Chapter 2 I will come back and help you by giving you the answer to the question. 😊 Be well
Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

I enjoyed your review of this Persuasion adaptation. I watched this film with my daughter and could hardly wait for it to end. It was so awful and the lead characters were annoying. It's the worse Austen adaptation I've ever seen. I agree with you. It should have been titled something other than Persuasion because it bore little resemblance to Jane Austen's novel. It's a film that I will never watch again. UGH!
I still can't believe they did Austen dirty like that.
I forgot to insert a Breaking Bad joke in 12:32 so... <insert Breaking Bad meme>
You got me really excited to read this book, I am not familiar with Malaysian authors so I feel like a whole new world is opening up to me.

Now I'm in the mood to check out a local book festival!
Go girl! Hoard them books
Book festivals are fun, but I haven't been to one in years! 📖
haha i just noticed the hashtag chicklit :') thanks again for your review and revisit of the book. Despite the premise and synopsis that promised a potentially rich text that would have provided an avenue for things we struggle to talk more openly in Malaysian society, it sounds like the text fails to reach its potential. At least now i don't have to buy the book : | The comment "according to Islam" is perhaps from mainstream news/media because it is usually the more extreme views that are reported on the news. (Perhaps even in Chinese newspapers, for example). After all, mass media typically generate moral panic and rely on anxieties to generate attention which feeds into the vicious cycle of anxieties. After all, it is also the tactics politicians use to create anxieties against the Other.
