Abstract

Legends are regarded as a type of oral literature. Holistically, the children’s family life can be divided into 3 categories: living with parents: living with a parent either of them and living with a guardian (anyone except parents such as grandmother, aunt and, etc.). Parents reflect a specific personality or behavior toward their child according to each of these forms. Moreover, the personality of child is remarked as the only born one in the story and it usually plays an important role in any legend plot. Ten samples of the legends series are studied to analyze in order to specify family formation and parents behavior to their child. The main question is how the family and parents behavior are made in a legend.  A hypothesis is presented to answer this question clarifying that child is the only one born in a family who is often living with one of the parents or both or a guardian and parents provide their child with innovation. The current research aims at presenting the family conditions of child as an important factor identifying his life style.
