The study found that the sensory visual knowledge was at the top of the sensory knowledge in the collection, because the author depended on the techniques of description and photography in the formation of all storie, that formed many sensory visual icons with different significances, and audio knowledge seemed to be a symbol in many stories. In mental knowledge the study revealed that all stories of the collection included many cognitive signals that referred to many sciences such as: medical sciences, engineering, geography, history and others. In intuitive knowledge the study found that the characters who had this type of knowledge rejected by the others and accused them of magic or madness because they got out of the usual sources of knowledge.
