A Study of Relationship between Text and Pictures in Six Holy Defense Stories Based on Perry Nodelman’s Views G. Pirouz* S. Malek** M. Fotovvat***Mazandaran University AbstractIllustration is a key element in children’s books and many theorists have paid attention to its functions. Perry Nodelman opines that one of the aspects in evaluating illustration is the link between text and illustration that draws attention to its function in terms of how to transfer information to child audience. He believes that a good illustration transfers six types of information to the audience. The first and second types confirm information existing in the text. The other four categories add information to text. He believes some illustrations are insufficient and don’t even have the potential of verifying the information in the text. This paper studies the illustrations of six stories of holydefense for children based on Nodelman's views. The results indicate that the illustrations either confirm the massage of text, or are insufficient not having the ability to verify information in the text. The illustrations cannot give information to child’s audience beyond the text to enhance the message of the text. Thus based on Nodelman’s views, most of the illustrations in these stories are in primary stage in transferring information. On the other hand, it seems as if long detailed texts on holy defense don’t allow authors to conduct proper visual information in innovative ways.* Associate Prof. of Persian Language and Literature, pirouz_40@yahoo.com** PHD. of Persian Language and Literature, malek.sarvenaz@yahoo.com*** MA. of Persian Language and Literature, fotovvat1970@chmail.ir

Satire and Techniques of Satire in Farhad Hassanzadeh's Fictions for Children and Young Adults M. Khodabin* Z. Mirhoseini** Z. Abazari***Islamic Azad University of Iran, Tehran AbstractChildren's and young adults' literature has been considered as a new independent genre in twentieth century. Fiction writers and poets of children's and young adults' literature try to create works that address only children and young adults, works whose language, concept and contexts are suitable for them. Thus it is important for such works to have variety, appeal and a happy atmosphere. Satire is one such element that can lead to the creation of appealing literature. Farhad Hasanzadeh, a poet and fiction writer, uses satire in his works for children and young adults. In this paper content analysis is used to study how Hasanzadeh uses satire in his works. The results show that he uses verbal satire, situational irony, language games, parody, exaggeration, pun, and joking. Verbal satire and situation irony are most prominent in his works.* MA of Knowledge and Information Science, maryam.khodabin@yahoo.com** Assistant Prof. of Knowledge and Information Science, zmirhosseini@yahoo.com*** Associate Prof. of Knowledge and Information Science, abazari391@yahoo.com

Classifying the Folktale of Nokhodi ("Little Pea") H. Zolfaghari*Tarbiat Modarres University of TehranAbstractNokhodi is one of the famous Iranian legends of magic with different versions of it narrated in different parts of Iran. In this story, a very small creature will succeed in getting back what is his from the king with the help of wild animals. Besides the Iranian versions of the story, there exist many other versions of it in children's literature all around the world, for example it is equal to Aarne Thompson's global types of 700 and 715. All of these narratives have the same beginning which is the birth of the major character continuing with other incidents. In this article 18 existing versions of the story are studied under three groups as "The Little Pea and His Claim upon the King" (Type 715), "Pea and Demon" (without the international code) and "Peas and Robbers" (Type 700). The purpose of this paper, apart from the introduction of a myth from ancient Iranian art, is to provide a case study of a legend that it is based on printed sources. * Associate Prof. of Persian Language & Literature, zolfagari_hasan@yahoo.com

S. Zandkarimi* P. Yaghoubi Janbesaraei**Kordestan University AbstractAs admitted by many researchers and even authors of children's stories, children's literature is mostly unidirectional as well as dictational. Not only do children not have a role in creating such children's works, but even their being the audience, as children, is not being considered. In these stories there is always a huge long shadow cast as the author/narrator that constantly prescribes. The range of this shadow, sometimes continues into the form of the powerful tyrannical character of the story as well, and demonstrates itself against the minor feeble character of the story with whom the young audience can identify. Much of the mentioned authoritarianism is a result of employing metalanguage and generating different forms of explicit and implicit margins through which the author establishes a unidirectional and vertical interaction with the reader/listener. Despite this authoritarian characteristic which is discerned in using the metalanguage, another competence, even paradoxical, lies in that which can lead to a horizontal and equal interaction. The mentioned case's examples can be traced in some children's stories by Farhad Hassanzadeh. In the present research, horizontal interaction and metalanguage-oriented methods of the author/narrator with its audience, in the four stories Div e Dig Be Sar (Demon with a Pot on the Head), Agha Rangi Va Gorbeye Naghola (Mr Colorful and the Clever Cat), Hamaan Lenge Kafshe Banafsh (The Same Purple Shoe) and Do Loghmeye Charb o Narm (Two Creamy Chewy Bites), by Farhad Hassanzadeh, have been classified and explained using a descriptional-analytical procedure. The outcome demonstrates that the author, with an inclination to metalanguage and creating sidetracks, strives to establish a horizontal interaction between the author/narrator and the reader/listener through the contribution of the reader/listener or one of the characters, in the story, with whom children identify, so that it is as if the child, himself/herself, has written the story he is supposed to hear or narrate.* MA Student of Persian Language & Literature, zand-karimi@malfa.com** Associate Prof. of Persian Language & Literature, p.yaghoobi@uok.ac.ir

Types of Fantasy in Two Stories of Samad BehrangiUldooz and Talking Doll and Uldooz and Crows B. Sadrinia* E. Monfaredan**Tabriz University Abstract:Samad Behrangi was a children’s literature writer who tried his hand at using fantasy in order to relate the adult world with childhood. Fantasy which has been overlooked in his works acts like a bridge to pass on complex life concepts to children in a more accessible way. In this research, two prominent fantasy stories of Behrangi,Uldooz va Kalaghha (Uldooz and Crows) and Uldooz va arosak sokhangoo (Uldooz and the Talking Doll), are studied. These stories share some similarities in structure and meaning. Behrangi takes advantage of fantasy to increase or reduce the emotional impact of some concepts. * Prof. of Persian Language & Literature, baghersadri@yahoo.com** PHD Student. of Persian Language & Literature, monfaredan@tabrizu.ac.ir
