Abstract

Rhetorical critique is one type of critique dealing with how the sender uses the language or any other symbol intentionally, the respondent and the location or context in which the communication is made. When a literary or non-literary work comes to being that has a persuasive effect and a work is called successful which has the greatest effect on the particular subject matter. Child letter is a type of didactic literature with an ancient background. The teaching of principles for better life in society, ethics, medicine, politics, astronomy, religion and so on are those teachings that dedicated fathers have left for their children in the oral form or sometimes in the form of letter and book from previous periods up to now. Hedayatol Motealemin fi Teb is the first book of child letter about medicine in Persian that the writer wrote it by his son’s request and clearly states that it was written for teaching medicine to beginners in an easy way. Given the importance of this work and having specific audience and subject, it is a suitable example for rhetorical analysis. Using tangible similes, examples, forms, personal experiences, paying attention to the current state, avoiding the useless verbalization, vocative and imperative face, having a critical and honest tune, Akhaveini could achieve his goal and fulfill his obligation for writing an easy and simple book for beginners.
