Attention to the position and literary characteristics of women's literature in contemporary literary criticism is similar to the expansion and prosperity of women's writing and topics related to this field, especially women's identity, their dialect style and language, each of which can be examined in the form of more detailed components to know the emotional elements of women and the aesthetic approaches of their speech. Among the contemporary women poets whose words are mixed with the color of affection and dealt with the characteristics of the feminine spirit and adorned them with her eloquent pen, is Ms. Susan Aliwan, the Lebanese poetess. In expressing her thoughts and reflections, she seeks to transform the perspective of the society of her time towards women and to introduce woman as a model of sincere emotion and the source of affection and vitality, and to draw the attention of her society to the hidden abilities and capabilities of women. This article tries to introduce this poet and the dimensions of the language aesthetics in her poems in four levels of phonetic, lexical, syntactic and communicative, using a descriptive-analytical method. More importantly, the personality traits, art of writing and her beautiful and gentle spirit in expressing her intentions should be explained. Undoubtedly, investigating the beautiful literary manifestations of this poet’s work and her speaking style in expressing subjects and introducing culture and beliefs, is a clear sign of her eloquence, artistic creativity and miracle in her words, which she presents to the literary community, especially women, in the form of delicate poetry and heartfelt speech, in order to give status and position to women in society and with a logical approach consolidate society's thoughts with women's intellectual sphere and demands for justice in the form of delicate poems based on feminist views.

The children literature is the origin of the values and aspirations of a society that must be internalized in the spirit and soul of an important group of people, namely children and adolescents, because they are the future makers of the society. This field of children literature differs greatly from adult literature. One of the most significant of these differences is the elements of the story, because the elements of the children's story must fit into the characteristics, wishes, and talents of the children. Character is another important element in this matter. Examining character’s impact on the reader makes the selection of the story more crucial, and introduces suitable and useful stories. With this view, participation in this field of literature becomes feasible only for those who have achieved deep knowledge and understanding of the field. Zakaria Tamer, contemporary Syrian writer, is one of those writers who has succeeded in this area and has created valuable and lasting stories. This study aimed to investigate the element of character in Zakaria Tamer's story collection through a descriptive-analytical method, in order to evaluate and measure their educational role and effect on the audience. The results show that Zakarria Tomer has applied different kinds of characters including human, animal, and natural and artificial phenomena. As seen in Tamer's story collection, Tamer applied one (specific) character in one story and different mixed characters in others. Animal characters showed higher frequency of usage and played a pivotal role among others. This may refer to and be influenced by children's psychological features. Animals are selected depending on their character features. Behind each story, Tamer sought an educational message illustrated through characters' speech and action. Simplifying the speech and action through applying rhetorical feature made the understanding less complex
