    Communication began with the first presence of animal speCIes including mankind. Many researches have been carried out to find out how different categories of animals communicate each within itself. It was discovered that only human beings are characterized by the ability of communicating through both verbal and nonverbal ways. As human beings are designated with discovery ambition they found another system through which the two ways of communication can be used; that is "writing" where people can write or read texts and drawings or maps based on different things in life. Through this work entitled, "Assessment of Written Documents of Oral Literature~ The Case of Praise Poetry", we explored different types of written oral literature and after, we encountered some cultural performances. Our intention was to verify if really what is perfonned is all written. The survey was done in urban area by visiting students at university, who mainly read written documents of oral literature, who experience the behavior of people in city, and who are aware of cultural perfonnance in rural milietL The findings proved that cultural performance contains some nonverbal features that are incompatible with writing and cause written documents of oral literature to give an incomplete message. Strategies were proposed to make oral literature more valuable and effective.
