Abstract
The concept of mental image is one of the most concepts that has not been employed in a manner that is consistent with the problem it carries in the cognitive, psychological, cultural and semantic fields through which the creator can build and produce his creative text. The American writer and politician Walter Lippmann says: "Man gradually creates for himself or within his mind images that can be relied upon about the world that we cannot reach." This means that the images that the mind draws, whatever they may be, are not random, but rather through intentionality and a previously studied method. Creators can build their creative texts by capturing realistic scenes that they infuse with their imagination. This study seeks to stand on the mental perceptions in the novel "Rushna" by the Syrian novelist "Reem Abdul Karim Muhammad" by understanding, interpreting and explaining these perceptions in the mind of the writer and the recipient, and knowing the interpretive, textual, social, and rhetorical novel codes, and all dimensions of the character, and the extent to which all of this is reflected in the written text.
