A Study of the Implied Reader in Three Stories of Resistance Literature of Ahmad Akbarpour

A study the "Implied Reader" is one of the best approaches to analyze the works in children resistance literature. Chambers believes that we need to recognize children as a “reader” in children’s stories. This paper used Chamber's theory to analyze "the implied reader in the book", in three stories of A. Akbarpour which were based on war (If I were a pilot, Good night Commander! And The Heavenly Frame). With this approach, some significant issues could be understood such as the characteristics of the implied reader in these stories, aware or unaware view of the writer toward the children, and finally the reasons of the popularity of some special works. The finding revealed that the writer tried to picture new experiences of the holy war by approaching the children’s different world. letting children participate in the events of the story and accompanying them, he create a situation in which children could take part in the creation of the story and have great impact on the events related to this war.
