A Structural and Content Analysis of the Stories of Razavi's Children and Adolescent Literature Festival (2016-2006)

Razavi’s children’s and adolescent literature festival stories are among the works of fiction in the age category of children and adolescents, which were mostly written in a one-sequence and somewhat positive way in the 2000s and 2010s.  The main focus of these stories is criticism of illness and poverty, praise of appeal and hope, altruism, gratitude, effort and perseverance.  This article tries to investigate and analyze the important structural and content elements of these works in a descriptive and analytical way, with the aim of better introducing these stories and knowing the viewpoints of their authors, which have been given less attention so far.  The findings of this research revealed that in these stories, the reality descriptions prevail over the imagination of the writers.  In these stories, in the end, superiority is with positive characters and the force of good, and the heroes and readers face relatively positive endings.  The predominance of dynamic characters over static characters because of the type of crises in the story and the predominance of content over form, scenes combined with similes and metaphors that serve the content of the story are other features of these stories.  Lack of attention to the national and mythological culture and uniformity in the language and speech of the story characters is one of the most important damages of these works.
