Memory Chizaka

Memory Chizaka is an author and a poetess. She was born in 1997, on the 19th of January in Johannesburg, South Africa. She discovered her writing ability through poetry at the age of 9, in 2006; where she wrote quotes and rhymes. At the age of 10, in 2007, she began writing short stories (for fun). In 2010, when she was 13 years old, in high school, her interest in poetry grew and she began reciting her poems at the school hall. And thereafter, poetry became her way of expressing her emotions. Many would think the background of the book (Hunger in The Jungle), a ridicule, but in January 2015, the author had a dream in her sleep about the book; where her mother’s late sister (the author’s aunt), requested that the author write the book and titled it too. And on the 15th of February, 2015, the author began writing the book and looked at each and every day that she had, as an opportunity to grasp new ideas and compose new words for the next page. And without any break, with so many struggles in the process, she finished writing the book on the 11th of September, 2015 at 02:11am. In due time, a continuation (second part) of the book will be released.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

SHORT BLURB

I n a jungle called Tatankum, hunger strikes and animals die from hunger and thirst. But there is more to the deaths than just hunger and thirst. Jackal, the most ignorant, becomes the most curious animal in the jungle and decides to conduct his own investigations as to why the animals are being slaughtered. He believes that one of the animals is responsible for the slaughtering. While investigating, most of the leads on the murders point to Lion. But is it really Lion who kills the animals? And for what good reason would he be killing them?

AUTHOR’S NOTE

H unger in the jungle is an animation of human behaviour. The animals in the book represent human beings themselves, and the jungle that is mentioned multiple times in the book represents the world itself. A few activities that occur in the book are activities that also occur in real life. Activities, such as false accusations, unfair crucifixion, betrayal, threats, greed, desire, slaughter (human slaughtering), etc., somewhat expose where loyalty and honesty lies. Being true to self is what matters most. Readers are welcome to relate to the characters in the story. After reading the book, the question is which animal are you?

O nce upon a time, deep in the jungle of Tatankum, hunger struck, and the animals in the jungle went hungry—some even died. Jackal, one of the most suspicious and observant animals, had a change of heart and mind, though he did not expose it. All the animals were very worried about the situation at hand—all the animals but Lion.

Lion did not seem to complain nor moan that he was hungry. Only Jackal noticed that he tried talking to the other animals about the matter, but they, too, were busy evaluating solutions. Jackal asked Giraffe, and all she could say was, ‘Jackal, I am still busy tasting the leave’s freshness while I still can.’

He then went to Squirrel, but it turned out that she, too, was busy collecting nuts. So he decided to pay Tortoise a visit—the wisest among all animals and a very good
