Abstract

According to psychological researches, there is an important period in the psychological development of a person, which is between childhood and adulthood, and it is called adolescence. Psychological changes in adolescence have a sexual and reproductive appearance at first and gradually develop into a crisis. Therefore, the adolescent should be given a chance to know him/herself in this complicated world and seek a solution for his/her troubled feelings. One of the solutions in this field is reading fiction. In addition to its entertaining aspect, fiction promotes the growth and development of the adolescent's personality. Fiction has several types. One of them is the story of love, which is very necessary for adolescents to understand its value. Robert Sternberg is a theoretician who has conducted research in the field of love. In 1994, he proposed the theory of "love as a story". Jamshid Khanian is also among the writers whose main concern is the age group of young adults. On a hot summer afternoon, a girl came from Basra, the author's latest work, has been written around the subject of love for the young adult generation. This novel will be analyzed based on Sternberg's love story in this research.
