Gerard Genette  ( born 1930) is a French literary theorist, associated in particular with the structuralist movement. his best known in English through the section,"Narrative discourse : an essay on method". 

• in literary theory, structuralism is an approach to analyzing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant structure. for example, a literary critic applying a structuralist literary theory might say that the authors of west side story did not write anything "really" new, because their work has the same structure as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Click in this link here analyse one advertisement in "Arial"

                          https://youtu.be/wJukf4ifuKs

          it is not just advertisement of "Ariel" but in this advertisement we find very brif idea about equality of man and women.so i think structure of this advertisement is good.

              In this advertisement we can see feminism structure of our society. man and woman both are going out side to work for money but very few theme are share burden of housework. 'gender inequalities rooted' in not only our social structure but also in our mentality. i'm just saying that if man go out side for making money then wife do cooking, cleaning,laundry everything, both are making money than why they are not share all there responsibility?

Q-2)   Significance of 'FIRE' and 'ICE' in the both poems : 1) Fire and Ice by Robert Frost and 2) Ice and Fire by Edmund Spenser.

ANS:-  

1) Fire and Ice by Robert Frost:

2) Ice and Fire by Edmund Spenser:

              so in this both of poem their are common thing told which is fir and ice and we can see this thing as many ways like fire is a symbol of passion and ice is a symbol of careless. also fire and ice is symbol of the seasons of summer and winter. Also one is a symbol of anger and another is symbol of calmness.

            There is another thing is both are dangerous. both have strength burn the thing and make anything lifeless. so they can't go together as this thing shows in this poems that in presence of fire ice cant't dissolves and in the presence of ice make fire more heatable.
