Hope we all going well with our rewrites.
It really took me a while to learn about what post-colonial is and I'm still not sure if I'm going the right way.
In general, post-colonial is about resisting place and culture alienating (people who were brought from their "home" to new places they've never been to), reviving native cultures that were once suppressed and so on. From a point of view of a descendant of a colonised country, this post-colonial theory raises considerably amount of awareness upon reading a piece of literature. I tried to recall my memory of stories, fantasy fictions and movies that may trigger the theory but I can't quite say what the oppressed wanted to say. Newspaper is said to be another source that post-colonial can appear but I haven't got the hang of it.
As of now I chose to go with the manga called SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN (Attack on the titan). It's original can be found here.
So then, the idea here is there are a bunch of titan-transformers in the middle of the human and they are quite alienate themselves and their human friends. I decided to give them a say based on their feeling about the place and the people (who only look at them as monsters). On another hand, the walls which protect the minority of human is actually made from titans, this mean the titan-transformers may end up the same or wipe the humans out themselves as other titans other than them seem to be witless and only move on instinct.
My idea isn't complete yet. Let me know if you have any suggestions, I'll be more than happy to hear it. :)
