Abstract
One of the key themes in Ahmad Shamloo's poetry is the expression of various aspects of human sufferings and grief .According to a study done on Shamloo poetry collection , we can dare to say that he is the greatest second or third poet in last 2 or 3 decades who was involved with the concept of reality during his artistic and social life .By sufferings and grief, we mean an overall collection of interpretations , comments, and themes which deal with these two words, namely, suffering and grief .For instance if we consider nature of sufferings and grief from one perspective , its reasons from second perspective , ways in which we can get rid of sufferings from third perspective , result and conclusion from the fourth perspective and finally moral dignity from an additional perspective, we will face an extensive volume of interpretations and abundant vocabularies in his poetry whose discovery and review indicate his mental obsession with these concepts .what counts as an important point in examination of sufferings and grief concept in Shamloo's works is investigation of sufferings and grief nature and how they are contemplated in Shamloo mental system .Surveying the reasons and factors contributing to sufferings and grief is the second problem which is an intricate concept in Shamloo's poetry, considering the different reasons given by classic and contemporary man. Another concern of this research is positive and negative effect of sufferings and grief as well as human attitude toward human beings sufferings and grief.

Abstract
What has been told about Shahnameh and Shahnameh – reciting in different books notifies the superiority of Ferdowsi’s skill in his "the high palace". One of the reasons which provide evidence as to Ferdowsi’s fascinating discourse is considering the rhetorical issues, organizing the draft and unifying the tone of Shahnameh. Considering rhetorical issues and especially the skill of story – telling is a point which most of the followers have not noticed yet. A relevant example is Garshasbnameh by Asadi Tousi which although some theorists have considered it as the successor of Shahnameh, it provides nothing but a mere imitation. This paper examines the rhetorical comparison between the story of "Zaal and Roudabeh" in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh and the story of "Jamshid and the King of Zabol’s daughter". In spite of some formal similarities in the structure of the story, the results of studying the draft and structures of these two works, the unity of tone and figures of imagination especially simile and metaphor indicate the exalted excellence and superiority of Shahnameh to Garshasbnameh.
