Characterization in Thirty Nine Stories for Young Children
Author(s):
Abstract:
Young children occupy a special place due to their mental and cognitive characteristics. Their literature has unique properties, because this group is not usually able to read and they communicate with literature via the narrator or storyteller. Furthermore, their stories and poems are usually short, so that the writer must compensate the shortness by improving the quality of the work. Thus using different techniques of characterization will help greatly. Setting of time and place, appearance of characters and their mode of speech, and even their names help to introduce the characters to the young readers. The present paper examines techniques of characterization and a variety of fictional characters in 39 Iranian stories for the age group "A". The results show that the writers have not been successful in naming and appearance of characters. They are more successful in the areas of action and dialogue.
