Abstract
Structuralism mostly investigates narrative elements in stories. A structural narratologist basically intends to compile a coherent structure among other different aspects of a story. The present study investigates the structure of AmirArsalan story, the last important fragment of Persian folksy long story generation, according to some structuralist theories. According to Grard Genette, we can analyze AmirArsalan story at two levels of recite and narration. At “recite” level, it has been discussed based on narrative perspective. At “narration” level, the narrative structure has been investigated and then the similarities and differences have been mentioned compared to other folksy long stories. In the second part of narration level, its syntactic structure has been pointed out and we have tried to summarize the story characters, their acts, and manners in the most compact way.

Abstract
According to the Bible and the Holy Quran, Adam who was the first man created by God lived in Paradise but later fell to the earth for some reasons. The story of expulsion of Adam from Paradise has been widely mentioned in Old Persian literature and has been interpreted in different ways. This article aims to investigate the reasons for the Fall of Adam from Paradise in some interpretive, mystical texts and in the divans of famous Persian poets up to the eighth century A.H. The researcher classified, compared, and analyzed these reasons based on their similarities and differences. The findings showed that in Old Persian literature including interpretive, mystical, and poetry works the Fall of Adam was either the result of his sin and God’s wrath upon him, or it was his destiny as decided by God, therefore he had no other choice, or he consciously decided to leave the paradise. In each case, there are some reasons behind Adam’s expulsion from Paradise to the earth.
