The Role and functionalist analysis of "Anecdote" in Collective Calls((A case study of the world's birds in the bird area))

Mantagh al Tair is one of the prominent mystical works in Persian literature, which in a narrative structure, deals with the story of the quantitative and qualitative calling of "birds of the world" and their collective efforts to search and reach "Simorgh". He used 194 "Anecdote" in the structure of Mantagh al Tair. The question is, what is the role and function of these stories and why does "Attar" insist on using this type of narration? The presupposition is that the story is one of the tools and arrangements needed to shape a collective mobilization, and Attar consciously tries to base the structure of Mantagh al Tair on the "story". The premise is that the "anecdote" facilitates the transformation of the story of "I" into "us" and causes the birds to accompany "Hoopoo". The "anecdote" creates a crisis and extreme urgency. The "anecdote" intensifies the theatrical requirement of the call. The "anecdote" highlights the good and the collective interest of the birds. The "anecdote" builds a common socialization and worldview of birds. "Anecdote" increases the action and persuasion function of language and its persuasive power. The "anecdote" facilitate the fascination and conquest of the birds' minds.
