Abstract :

                The collection of my memoirs, I am alive, is a completely feminine work with emotional, meaningful, meaningful and healthy prose. The book has a respectful tone, rhythm, smooth expression, clear sentences, clarity of language and an attractive and readable finish. The extensive use of verbal and spiritual arrays, original sensations, appropriate hints and assurances, good suspension, observance of similes and eloquent expressions, have made the book readable and pleasant. The present research has investigated this precious work by descriptive-analytical method and from the perspective of structuralism. . "I am alive" is the starting point of the female narrative in the works of captivity and it is derived from the model of patience and perseverance of Hazrat Zainab (PBUH). The language and prose of the story combined with other elements such as plot, time, accurate and calculated characterization, suspense and expectation, all express the author's skill in story writing.
