Abstract
post–colonialism is the term that historians have used in the post–world war ll era to show the era that followed most of the world’s independence from modern western colonialism. Post-colonial discourse is one of the fruits of post–colonial theory invented by Edward Said and is one of the contemporary literary approaches that relate to its mission to theorist and colonial issues.
In this article, we aim to discuss one of the famous contemporary Arab Jordanian novels written in this regard, which are the Dafater Al-tufan of Samiha Khreis , based on Edward Said’s theory to explore post–colonial features in it we concluded that the author refers accurately and technically to the post–colonial problem in Arab society through the tongue of different things and inanities and is equally concerned with all the post–colonial features presented in its narrative effect, and it has not favored one over another post–colonial components have been used in public affairs familiar to Arab life and refer to them artfally. Then Khreis reflects in the Dafter Al-tufan some characteristics against colonialism, such as the confrontation against the domination of the West, the center, the margin, nationality, freedom, independence and the lowly with special skill.

Abstract
Narratology is the result of the expansion of the structuralist schools of the contemporary era. Gérard Genette, a Frenchman, is one of the leading narratologists whose views have attracted the attention of literary scholars. Literary products written for adults are analyzed from a narrative perspective, but less attention is paid to children's stories from this perspective. The implementation of literary theories on children's stories can lead to the recognition of various dimensions of the text of children's stories and reveal their hidden layers. Farashat al-Amirat al-Hamra is a science fiction story written by Egyptian writer Nabil Khalaf in 2004. The present study intends to show Gérard Genette's narrative components in the story of Farashat al-Amirat al-Hamra by a descriptive-analytical method and using library sources.
