Abstract :
What is being examined in the structural analysis of a story is its structure, narration and language. Structural analyzers study the totality of the literary form and the division of the narratives to smaller units (to the extent that it is not dividedable). They try to provide a grammatical language for all narratives. Propp, who was one of the experts in narrative, studied the totality of the narrative structure of the one hundred Russian narratives. He then divided them into smaller components, the repeated patterns, and finally he composed a grammar of narrative. This research is descriptive-analytic method and has used library resources, relying on Parvin Etesami’s debate as a form of education; the first step is to define the grammar of narrative in educational literature. And then we try to examine narrative structure, narrative situations (audience) and the narrative content of the debates has been examined. The results indicate that the educational literature (narrative) is located in the center of the narrative and narrative elements are more prominent than others. Furthermore, in Parvin’s debates the type of audience is outside of structure and sometimes in hidden format.
