Abstract

1. Introduction: Those Twenty-Three People consists of the memories of Ahmad Yusefzadeh (1967). Regardless of any analysis and free interpretation, the author has narrated his memoirs without relying on the readers' judgments. The honesty of speech and respect for the reader are among the characteristics that can be seen in this narrative work with clarity, along with documents and objective evidence. "The author has expressed the facts in simple and sincere language with the whole bitterness, sweetness, hardship and love" (Sareli, Baqeri, Ishani, & Aliyen, 2019). 2. Methodology: In addition to identifying the commonalities and differences between memory and story, this study examines the elements of the story in Those Twenty-Three People. The study uses analytical-comparative criticism. In each section, by introducing each of story elements and components of memoir writing, and by giving examples from the book Those TwentyThree People, the article examines how those elements are used in this book. 3. Discussion: The subject, plot, character, point of view, dialogue, scene and staging, tone, theme and truthfulness are the common aspects of the story and the memory. Those Twenty-Three People narrates the memories of 23 young men captured by Iraqi forces in Beitolmoqadas operation. Ahmad Yousefzadeh is one of these teenagers who has described his memories in this book after his release. The point of view of the book is singular first person, narrated from the viewpoint of the author of the book. This point of view is the most appropriate point of view for narrating the events and happenings of this book, because the purpose of the book is to express the events and problems that have unfolded to the juvenile prisoners, and these events and happenings must be told by someone who is involved in the story and has experienced the events. The content of this book include the events, problems and tortures that took place for Iranian prisoners in Iraqi prisons. Given that the prisoners in this book are minors and the Ba'athist enemy obliged them to make forced confessions and asked them to confirm they were sent to the battlefield by force, which will turn the world public opinion against Iran. The Iraqis also impose severe threats and torture on them. The hunger strike by the teenagers to end the enemy's sinister goal is the ultimate suspension and crisis and the climax of the story. 4. Conclusion: Memoir writings are among the most original and natural manifestations of culture and literature of battle field. They are also rare works narrated directly from the viewpoint of warriors who fought and were martyred in the battle fields. The subject of the book Those Twenty-Three People written by Ahmad Yousefzadeh is unique in terms of how the incident began, how it continued and how it ended, the like of which has not happened in any war. In this book, the time of the incident, its exact place and location, the names of the witnesses and planners of the incident have been determined by observing the time and place of the event. The plot is linear and based on the cause-and-effect relationship. The characters of the book are real and are introduced to the reader from the author's mind. The point of view is the singular first person, narrated by the author of the book. The author's goal in the dialogue is characterization and staging. Scenes from the book depict what happens in war. The tone of the book is real, serious, and in relation to the intimate reader. The content of the bookinclude the story, events, problems and tortures that took place for Iranian prisoners in Iraqi prisons.
