Abstract
Since the novel has a role in influencing the reader, novelists use it to express the realities of life. And in order to be able to increase the effectiveness, they use the five senses in expressing events. But the issue of this effectiveness was not specifically considered in the discussions of researchers like other topics. Therefore, in this research, we chose Jalal Burgess's novel "Dafatir Al-warraq" as a model to examine the sensory mechanisms in the depiction of events that are harmoniously placed in the narrative parts of this novel. And we examine this research by considering the equivalent of the sense of sight and hearing in a descriptive and analytical way. It was concluded that the author connected the senses of his novel text with the living reality with this match to depict the relationship between them more. On the one hand, this case was intended to increase the sphere of influence on the receiver and on the other hand, to create the integration of two different worlds such as the narrative world and the realistic world. The distribution between peer emotions in realistic and virtual divided aspects led to aesthetic representations. which was placed in its concepts to create mutual dependence between two different parties, and Burgess was successful in expressing this fusion of imagination and reality in the novel Events.

Abstract
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is arguably an evolution of discourse analysis in which, apart from superficial description of linguistic data, the influential processes in the formation of discourse are analyzed. Discourse analysis addresses social and linguistic approaches. In the social approach, discourse and contextual elements are examined while in the linguistic approach textual context is studied. The objective of discourse analysis is to analyze the structures of power, exploitation, and the resultant political, social, and cultural inequalities as presented in a text. This study examines Mu'nis Razzaz’s Confessions of a Silencer according to Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis approach at description, explanation, and interpretation levels. Considering Fairclough’s description level, it is argued that the novelist expresses his patriotic political ideas by repeating and visualizing certain keywords throughout the novel highlighting its thematic content. At the level of interpretation, the novelist refers to contextual situation and intertextual discourses such as the Baath Party and the myth of Sisyphus to pinpoint the oppression of masses and destruction of revolutionary ideas. At the level of explanation, the novel is treated as part of the process of social struggle within the context of power relations which portray the reactionary thoughts among people whose lack of realistic perspective in the beginning and end of the novel underpin the failure of the popular movements.
