Manipulation in Translating Children’s Literature: A Comparative Description of Three Persian Translations of Anne of Green Gables
This study tried to investigate how Persian translators manipulate children’s literary texts in translation. To the purpose of this study, the researcher chose the model presented by Lambert and Van Gorp (1985) which was used for the comparison of ST and TT literary system and the description of relations within them. The researcher applied the model to the translation of children’s literature and presented a description of how translators might manipulate the original text in translation. To this purpose the first two sections of the model, preliminary and macro-level data, were selected and applied in the available Persian translations of the children novel Anne of Green Gables (1908). The results showed that the three Persian translations of the novel, translated by Hefazi, Modarres and Ghadiani, included some manipulations at different parts of the novel. They made changes in translating the title of the novel, titles of the chapters, and the way of punctuating; they added metatexts to the translations in the shapes of footnotes and prefaces or even omitted some parts of the novel. These manipulations, whether recognizable by reading the translation alone or along with the original novel, led to a more visible status of the translators.

What is the Function that Madness or Insanity as a Psychological, Social and Medical Problem Serves in art, Especially in Shakespeare’s King Lear
According to Urban Lofgren King Lear is a tragedy by William Shakespeare which written in 1603 and 1606. It is based on Lear of Britain. He becomes retired and decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, the two of them who are the eldest ones show themself in love with their father although they were not. The youngest one Cordelia says her emotions honestly to her father, but her father base on the surface of their love, decides to give all his properties to two of them and ignore the Cordelia as a daughter. Metaphorically speaking, Lear is a blind to the fact that Goneril and Regan say false love and emotions in order to get rid of their father and gain more power. He has not realized what to do as a king of a big empire. Some believe that he is a madman from the beginning of the play with these childish decision and behavior. This is king Lear in a dark situation. He has nothing for himself, no family, no friends, no authority, no kingdom, no home and all reasons is his madly decision. Every person in this horrible situation become mad, for Lear as a king, suffering this irrational situations is impossible. In this study I want to describe the different aspects of King Lear madness and bring some information that show whether this madness is a real insanity or just a sudden behavior that happen for Lear. I hope at the end of this study, the readers can have a proper theory and get main points of this research. Shakespeare’s King Lear has a central and important theme which is madness. According to this play, madness is sanity for King Lear. In fact madness in reason and reason in madness is a aptitude statement for king Lear behavior through this play. There are many reasons to describe the effects of Lear’s behavior before, during and after his madness, to show what happens when he starts to believe his daughter’s tricks and false love. When he ignore the true love of Cordelia (his faithful daughter). When he decides to drift his empire a part bass on his emotions and daughters behavior. Lear’s madness is based on many elements such as disorder and hidden wisdom in which Lear’s blindness goes away and sees the reality of his life. He goes to his real madness by Edgar’s feigned insanity and discovers many points about himself during a storm in nature and in his mind. We can find different types of madness in this play, real, feigned and professional madness. As critical of Shakespeare’s work says, “Throughout the play Shakespeare also uses a background of bizarre weather conditions to emphasis the theme of madness.” It also says that Lear’s madness become worse when he decides to face the reality and true emotions and he to yes to keep his sanity. He obsessed with justice. “I am a man; more sinn’d against, than sinning.” (Act three scenes two, Lear). We can get this point that Lear becomes wise daring this madness. In act three scenes two, Lear ignore by his daughters and they throw him out is the violent storm, it shows the cruel nature of daughters. Lear stats to learn the process of his life, now he sees his horrible situation. He says “Here I stand, your slave, a poor, infirm, despised old man” he sees the injustice of the situation. In the storm, he is without any protection and that moment he sees he is going to be mad “my wits begin to turn”. He also starts to see other’s position and situation as well. He turns to fool and asks “How dost, my boy? Art cold?” (According to the writer of King Lear change ) Since Shakespeare is a well-known poet and play writer of England, I decided to work on his great play named, King Lear. I consider Lear’s madness during the play and go among reasons of his mad behavior and discuss the Lear’s inner turmoil and feeling toward the people around himself during in sanity. A big revolution in which Lear fined himself alone and unsafe that show the lack of his authority in his own empire. His authority as a king has encouraged him to be unreal man but madness changes him to be wise. He thinks that by dividing his kingdom, he becomes freer and his responsibility in old ages becomes less. But this decide, just forces him to be nothing. According to critical writers in Yorkntes web site, other renaissance dramatists use mad scenes for comic effect but Shakespeare use madness in a serious way in King Lear. Norman Maclean says, “History of the story of King Lear is a history of art, the history of men’s literary affection.” He says “the story fortunately there is a part that by assent is its most tragic region, the region where suffering takes on such dimension that Shakespeare could find no better word than “madness” to contain it. It brings readers to have both tragic art and tragic artist.” At the end of act II, storm happens for Lear, he experience a new kind of madness, he has an external causes for his madness, he tries his best not to get mad but when he sees the Edgar’s mad behavior, he becomes worse. These scene show the confliction of past Lear with the Lear through madness, the one who just think about his self with the one who is able to see others problems and suffering.

An overview of History, Novel and Historical Novel in English Literature
Many of people read fiction for joy, but a few of them float particularly to works about the past. People have enjoyed historical fiction since 800 BC, when Homer wrote about the Trojan War in the Iliad. The words to which historical fiction carries us may seem utterly different from our own - but they really existed. A deep understanding of the past can help us understand our own time and our own motivations better. And by blending history and fiction, a novel lets us do more than simply read history: it lets us participate in the hopes, fears, passions, mistakes and triumphs of the people who lived it. (“People read fiction for joy,” 2015).History and literature have always found proximity with each other, until it got separated after Rankean positivist research methodology for history in 19th century. But after the coming of postmodernism by 1960s and its formal introduction by 1980s, history and literature have started working hand in hand again, with new development in the form of historical novels. Many of the postmodernist literature refer historical documents, re-reading the sources in order to develop theories and stories around the facts, giving birth to multiple theories to attract readers as well as to make subjectivity feasible in reading the text, unlike what was postulated by Ranke.

Women, Their Character, Outlooks and Wishes in the Novel
Novels, in contemporary literature, have given us a new perspective. This is, especially, due to the presence of female writers using new story writing and narrative techniques in creating the settings. Among these is the novel under study, written by an Iranian novelist, which tends to introduce and present Iranian women’s problems and challenges. This study is, in effect, carried out on a Persian contemporary novel entitled Adat Mikonim (We’ll Get Used to It), written by Zoya Pirzad. The main character of the story is a middle-aged woman from a middle class family who is living with her daughter as well as her mother. The novel depicts the obstacles the woman faces communicating with as well as being understood by her daughter and mother.Following Hodge and Kress' (1993), the present study is carried out within the Critical Discourse framework to analyze the text. The book contains 31 chapters, out of which the first16 chapters were selected. The texts were analyzed with regard to the following properties: grammar (regarding two properties: syntagmatic models and transformations), and vocabulary (i.e., adjectives, adverbs, and verbs, with their ideological significance) The study is an attempt to depict linguistically the identity, wishes and outlooks of three women belonging to three generations, their similarities as well as differences.
