Making harmony among language functions of story characters with their character types, is one of the characteristics and advantages of modern and successful story writing. In traditional storied literature in Iran (prose and verse), this point is not considered important and story characters, generally, tell in narrator or writers way of speaking and since there is the narrators statement, they are not the representativeness of their class and character type. Not paying attention to this subject, causes disorder in either making supposition of reality or personifying, which are both important principals of story telling. This study, identifies the story of " Noon Val Ghalam" of Jalal- Ale- Ahmad who is a contemporary writer aspect. The methodology is qualitative, and data collection is based on content–analysis and document- analysis. As Ale- Ahmad was one of the Iranian contemporary writers and was familiar with western and Iranian writers, he was expected that the language and way of describing story characters he made, be based on the social class. But this study, by stating different proofs, shows that, this writer ignores the relationship necessary for language functions and character type among characters in the story and because of the imposition of his knowledge, statement and political and social view, the independence of the protagonists in his story is not well-concidered. The inflection of political and social thoughts of each writer among his works, is not a shortfall by it self, but representing of speeches in protagonists, in the way which is not in harmony with their characters, lowering the importance of then is based or an instrument for specific social and political representatives. This action not only shows the character. The specific characters, but also disorders the processing of one important issue in story conversation. Since in each language people from different social groups, use almost the same vocabularies that identifies and belongs to these people from their own group and class. So this matter of fact is used in story works and reflected in the society. But Ale-Ahmad with stating the skillful mentioning of tow،، Mirza Benvis ,, in the story those who are illiterate people and just they write daily letters and some simple document , he refuses paying attention to this subject. For example ،،Mirza Asadolla ,, the protagonist, in a part of story in reply to one the guys in crifizing some of the might people states smartly ،، that every wise people with all their wiseness are the same as all other ordinary people. They are not innocent. All of them have once had a quilty and get the expiable (kafare) of the quilty. Aristito has his followers make excuses from his quilty. Birooni wash his hands from the blood of all who were killed by Mahmood. Khajeh Nasir tried to wash himself in his morality book. And Nezam-Al- molk who was the same as Khanlar-Khan who he found himself in predicament used his poems. All of these cases in my opinion are just like slightly powerful things. They are like flees that are under the tail of a horse that the horse is very powerful. The power which is based on oppression not justice. The power of justice is in the speeches, from some like ،، Christ,, ،،Ali,, ،،Sohravardi,, not from those who were powered from the government, like ،،Anoshirvan,,who tortured many people in a bad way. That is clear speeches like the above are not matched with the character of a ،،Mirza- Benvis,,. Ale-Ahmad s interest in politics, in criticizing leftist ideas of his from the way of living in that time, changes the story to kind of story which is not in harmony with the characters of the story and changes it to different political and social ideas. He considered a novel, whose characters go along with the writers intention, as a failed novel. So it can be said, Ale- Ahmad to direct the characters along with his own intention and to represent shaply crisis on his own thoughts, destroyed the beautity and artistic aspect of the story. The matter of fact basically referred to Ale-Ahmad s intention in his way of story writing. He uses the story to reserve the improvement of his social and political ideas, and was not much considerate about following the principals of story writing. The fact that Ale-Ahmad uses the techniques for telling funny and tricky stories confirms this issue. Ale-Ahmad during his intellectual life was one of the members of general thinkers. The characteristics of these type of thinkers is that they use their own specific abilities to promote their thoughts in public society and ،،Noon-Valghalam,, is one obvious case in this regard. The story in which Ale-Ahmad shows the artistic and beauty in it . And this makes Ale-Ahmad to be doubtful about his success in this work (story).
