Here, Lyubov Mikhailovna, is my last essay in the VIP section, please take a look.

1) It happened on May 28th. (2) After school, Sanka Bolshakov and I went to the river. (3) There, near a huge boulder, similar to the petrified mummy of a giant lizard, a ceremony was performed. (4) I scratched the skin on my wrist, Sanka did the same. (5) We kissed each other with bleeding forearms and said loudly: "You are my brother." (6) So Sanka Bolshakov and I became blood brothers.
(7) The next spring, I lured all my classmates to look for the treasures of the Sarmatians. (8) I read about the Sarmatians in some historical book. (9) Since many centuries ago they roamed somewhere in our places, I reasonably assumed that, in order not to drag around with their goods, they could bury some of their rich booty somewhere near our village. (10) My story interested all the boys, and we, armed with hope and shovels, went together to look for the treasure. (11) But the river blocked the path to the hills. (12) On the shores, like ships thrown out by a storm, huge ice floes rose, and the water was unbearably cold. (13) All my friends somehow overcame the river, but I didn’t have the courage. (14) I was encouraged, persuaded, laughed, shouted, intimidated that they would find the treasure and would not share it with me, but this test was beyond my strength. (15) Then Bolshakov returned for me, put me on his shoulders and, falling into the cold mud up to his chest, wheezing from exertion, crossed to the other side.
- (16) Big, why are you dragging him around? (17) Is he disabled? - Classmates attacked him.
- (18) We are blood brothers with him! he answered.
(19) Twenty-four years have passed. (20) I was in a hurry for the anniversary of our director. (21) Behind the bridge, I saw a broken "five". (22) I slowed down slightly to understand how it was possible on a flat
place to get into an accident. (23) I saw a driver squatting near a crumpled wing. (24) For some reason, I immediately recognized Bolshakov, although I had not seen him since school.
- (25) Sanyok, hello! (26) How did you fly in?
- (27) God must have sent you! (28) Here you just help me! (29) Some old lady with knots jumped out right in front of her very nose. (30) I had to taxi into the barrier. (31) Will you drag it?
(32) I shook my head.
- (33) Sanyok, I can't! (34) I have a broken towing hook in my car - I can’t tow it. (35) So don't blame me...
- (36) Nothing! (37) I'll call a friend - drive away. (38) How are you?
- (39) Yes, I'm spinning, I don't see the light. (40) Excuse me - I'm late.
- (41) See you again!
- (42) Good luck!
(43) I rushed to the festive evening. (44) Returning home, wrapping myself in a blanket, I once again remembered the meeting with Bolshakov. (45) Memory took me to childhood, to the bank of the river, to the gray mossy boulder. (46) Performing the ceremony, I was afraid to hurt my hand, so I slightly scratched the skin, and the wound soon healed. (47) But Bolshakov did not spare his hand, and a long crimson scar remained on his forearm.
(48) The wind was blowing outside, the snow rustled sadly on the windows, and this quiet sound was like a faint whisper of some kind of memory forever fading into oblivion.
(According to E. A. Laptev)

Is everyone capable of true friendship? Here is the question that is in the center of attention of E. A. Laptev

Reflecting on this problem, the author argues that few people know how to really make friends. The writer cites an episode from the life of two boys who agreed to be "blood brothers". E. A. Laptev focuses on the fact that only Sanka turned out to be a faithful comrade of the two boys, who carried the cowardly hero on himself through cold water. The author condemns the grown-up narrator who comes up with an absurd reason: “I have a broken towing hook in my car” in order to refuse to help a friend and leave faster for a festive evening. Only one of the two comrades skillfully plays the role of a true friend.

The position of E. A. Laptev is easy to determine: the ability to be a faithful and devoted comrade is not given to each of us.

I share the writer's point of view. Indeed, one must have high moral qualities, great willpower and desire to become a true and understanding friend. All these features are very rarely combined in one person, but if this happens, then a true comrade is obtained. There are many examples in the literature that support this idea.

The heroes of the novel "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy are remembered. Pierre Bezukhov and Andrei Bolkonsky are true friends. Pierre, who is rather frivolous and irresponsible in his youth, nevertheless initially has a broad and kind soul. Andrei is a strict and responsible person with high moral standards. These people know how to make friends for real.

In the novel "The Captain's Daughter" by A. S. Pushkin, Grinev is a straightforward, open and honest person who knows how to make friends. Shvabrin is a liar and a scoundrel who is ready to achieve his goal in the dirtiest ways. He betrays friendship because of jealousy and gloating, tries to kill Grinev. Grinev is a real comrade, and Shvabrin does not know how to be friends.

Thus, only a person endowed by nature with responsibility and fidelity is capable of true friendship.

Friendship is not just an emotional attachment, it is a close relationship based on trust and sincerity. I believe that a true friend will not deceive you under any circumstances. He will find the strength to tell the truth, even if it is not easy for him to do so. I can support my point of view with concrete examples.

An essay about friendship

There are not many things in the world that are eternal. After all, gold, precious jewelry, exquisite clothes, expensive cars and houses - all these are false, temporary values. Over time, they depreciate, break, deteriorate, cease to be fashionable. But among the eternal, true values, three things can be named. It is faith, love and friendship. « A true friend is the greatest treasure», « a true friend is known in trouble"- how often do we hear these proverbs, but how rarely do we think about their real meaning.

It's very hard to find these days true friend. Yes, each of us has many friends, whom I call one-day butterflies. They are ready to go to the movies or cafes with you, help you spend money in fashion boutiques, laugh at a joke. But these friends will never support you in difficult times. Why should they friend who needs to be helped, who needs to be consoled, wasting his time? They better go with others, the lucky ones friends to the cinema. And they don't care about losers.

But a true friend will never leave you in trouble. No matter what happens, no matter what trouble knocks on your door, a friend will always be there, always ready to help, support, comfort. He is ready to sacrifice his time, money and even his life for you. This is what is real friendship, which is an eternal and expensive thing in life. And therefore, as a very valuable thing, it must be protected and cherished.

An essay about What is friendship? 9-11 grade

Every person needs a friend - a person close to you in spirit, someone with whom it is interesting to spend time. A friend is that person who will support you in sorrow and in joy, who will always try to help with advice and deed.

But do all of us know how to be friends? And generally speaking - what is true friendship? It happens that two people constantly communicate, spend a lot of time together, but one of them has a misfortune or joy, and there is no strong friendship.

Such people are usually said to have failed the test. One of them was afraid of the troubles of the other, did not want to interfere, worry ... And it happens even worse - one friend began to envy the other: his successes, joys, victories ... No wonder they say that true friendship is tested not so much by misfortune as by joy.

So what is it in my opinion real friendship? I think it should be tested over the years. When people have been friends for many years, they have gone through a lot together and passed the “strength test”. A true friend, I think, wishes you only the best, tries in every possible way to help, to make your life better. This does not mean that he always says only pleasant things to you, not at all! On the contrary, a real friend can tell, one of the few, the whole truth in person, open your eyes to something, show where you were wrong. After all, it is very important to stop in time or direct in the right direction, to help understand your mistakes.

Of course, friendship is a two-way concept. Two people should equally value their relationship, protect it, try to save it. And then in my mind friendship will be really strong and durable.

essay about friendship 8-11 grade

What is friendship? Each person understands its significance in life in their own way: for some it is an understanding, for others it is an opportunity to spend their free time in an exciting and unforgettable way. For me, friendship is, first of all, a feeling of support for a loved one and a firm belief that he will come to the rescue in difficult times. A true friend does not know how to envy, offend or hurt: social status is not important for him, he is close to you in spirit and understands perfectly.

It is not necessary that a true friend agreed with your every point of view: it is much more valuable that he supports you, even if he does not agree with your views on life. A true friend may criticize, but will never lie out of flattery or deliberately humiliate. The secrets that you share with a friend remain only between the two of you, and this appreciates and tests the sincerity of a person’s true attitude towards you.

Friendship is not subject to time, and emotions in communication with a friend do not change: even many years later, people have common topics for conversation, quivering memories and common values ​​in life. A friend is able to forgive you not only minor oversights, but also serious mistakes and will never reproach you for your mistakes. A true friend is the person with whom you will never get bored and who will not let you get bored.

And in joy and in sorrow, only a devoted and faithful friend should be next to us. But is it possible in the modern world, where it is full of temptations and temptations, to sincerely experience true friendship?

In my opinion, friendship is the only feeling that pretense is not subject to: it does not tolerate lies and masks. With a true friend, a person does not need to hide his character traits, possible shortcomings and impersonate someone who you really are not.

It seems to me that our generation misunderstands the truth of true friendship. Many of my peers call friends of people whom they have known for a short time, whom they still cannot trust, but already call them almost brothers and sisters. Friendship is tested not only over the years, but also through trials that a person meets throughout his life.

The basic principle of friendship is loyalty. Trust only strengthens friendship, and the confidence that a person will not betray you will support - proof of true friendship.

It is important to understand that a friend is not an ideal person: he can make mistakes and do stupid things. The main thing is that a friend should be able not only to forgive, but also not to harbor evil.

Mini-essay on the topic Friendship

Option 1. (grade 5-7) Is it possible to live without friendship? No, without friendship our life would not be complete. But only if we mean true friendship, and not one that is built on selfish communication. True friendship is devotion, mutual sympathy, common interests. It is not for nothing that the proverb “A friend is known in trouble” exists. Friendship is when you are ready to come to the rescue at any time, share troubles and sorrows with your comrade. A friend will never gossip behind your back. A true friend will be able to say "no" and will always be by your side. Is this not true friendship? True friendship knows no distance and will always stand the test of time.

Option 2. (grades 6-8) What is friendship? This is joy! Great joy from communication!

Only from him you can listen to criticism in your address without offense. True friendship, like true love, is a rare phenomenon. But if it is still there, then it is necessary to protect it, like the apple of an eye. After all, losing a friend, we lose a particle of ourselves. And we must always remember that it is easy to lose it, but insanely difficult to find it. And the older we get, the harder it gets. I have a friend! And that means I'm a happy person.

I am very interested in them, and they always help me. Friendship is different. Someone has been friends since childhood, someone met at school. But it doesn’t matter what kind of friendship and with whom you are friends, because we are a single whole, we are a family, and we must be together.

mini essay about friendship for grades 5-9 | March 2015

Essay about friendship

Each of us knows how difficult it is for a person alone, so we are looking for friendship. Most often, we subconsciously try to make friends with people of a cheerful disposition, witty, kind, sympathetic. Over time, we endow these qualities with those whom we consider friends. But life is not always carefree, sometimes you need help. So who to turn to, if not to friends. And that's when it turns out who's real friend, and who is so familiar to spend leisure time together. Is it possible to understand in advance who will be your true friend? Perhaps, but it's not that easy. But, in my opinion, there are several traits required for friendship.

First, they say friendship happens between equals, but between a slave and a master it does not exist.

Secondly, friendship happens between good people. After all, good people are incapable of evil deeds. No wonder there is a saying; tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are.

Apparently, this topic is really relevant, if there are so many thoughts about friendship. So in the literature, this topic is one of the leading ones. Panas Mirny wrote about the friendship between Grigory and Chipka in his novel “Do oxen roar when the manger is full?” They knew each other since childhood, but until Chipka became rich, they were just friends. When Chipka gained weight in society and he got money, Grigory became his close friend. He invited Chipka to be his godfather, hoping for rich gifts from him. But whether he was a true friend, the reader will see later. When the rebel Chipka was beaten by soldiers and he called for help, his so-called friend Grigory simply hid behind the fence so that it would not touch him. And he didn't feel sorry for Chipka at all, just as he didn't feel sorry for anyone at all, except for himself.

Come out, they say the truth that it creates friends, and misfortune tests them. In life, a person always finds like-minded people, people who are close in spirit and way of life. Indeed, there are so many people around, but only a few friends. What do we want in relationships with other people? Sincerity, warmth, indifference. Why would another person take such good care of you? Because friendship is a mutual concept, unlike love. If you want to be taken care of, be ready to take care of a friend in the same way. It turns out that a necessary condition for friendship is not to be selfish. To understand this in time means to deprive yourself of disappointments, self-blame. How often do you hear from some that, they say, they do not have friends, they are lonely ... Most often this is true, but has anyone ever wondered why this is so? It seems that we are forgetting that we must be ready to give, and not just take.

Friendship- this is a feeling of sincere desire to give warmth and hope. That's just to find among the many people of the same sincere friend who would think the same way. And check it out - it's not easy. There are many examples of sincere friendship in literature. The images of Niz and Euryal from I. Kotlyarevsky's poem "Aeneid" became a symbol of friendship, because these people were ready to sacrifice their lives for a friend. No less noble were the relations of the heroin of P. Kulish's novel "The Black Rada", and from it we learned how the Cossacks knew how to make friends, and how mutual assistance united them both in battle and in life. Therefore, Kirill Tur called his friend Chernogor a brother. In relations with other Cossacks, Kirill Tur was guided by custom and did as his noble heart prompted him.

Composition on the theme of friendship | February 2015

Did not you find what you were looking for? here's another

The problem of courage, cowardice, compassion, mercy, mutual assistance, care for loved ones, humanity, moral choice in war. The impact of war on human life, character and worldview. Participation of children in the war. Man's responsibility for his actions.

What was the courage of the soldiers in the war? (A.M. Sholokhov "The Fate of Man")

In the story of M.A. Sholokhov "The Fate of Man" you can see the manifestation of true courage during the war. The protagonist of the story Andrei Sokolov goes to war, leaving his family at home. For the sake of his loved ones, he passed all the tests: he suffered from hunger, fought courageously, sat in a punishment cell and escaped from captivity. The fear of death did not force him to abandon his beliefs: in the face of danger, he retained human dignity. The war claimed the lives of his loved ones, but even after that he did not break down, and again showed courage, however, no longer on the battlefield. He adopted a boy who also lost his entire family during the war. Andrei Sokolov is an example of a courageous soldier who continued to fight the hardships of fate even after the war.

The problem of moral assessment of the fact of war. (M. Zusak "The Book Thief")

In the center of the narrative of the novel "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak, Liesel is a nine-year-old girl who, on the brink of war, fell into a foster family. The girl's father was connected with the communists, therefore, in order to save her daughter from the Nazis, her mother gives her to strangers for education. Liesel starts a new life away from her family, she has a conflict with her peers, she finds new friends, learns to read and write. Her life is filled with the usual childhood worries, but war comes and with it fear, pain and disappointment. She doesn't understand why some people kill others. Liesel's adoptive father teaches her kindness and compassion, despite the fact that this only brings him trouble. Together with her parents, she hides the Jew in the basement, takes care of him, reads books to him. To help people, she and her friend Rudy scatter bread on the road, along which a column of prisoners must pass. She is sure that the war is monstrous and incomprehensible: people burn books, die in battles, arrests of those who disagree with official policy are everywhere. Liesel does not understand why people refuse to live and be happy. It is not by chance that the narration of the book is conducted on behalf of Death, the eternal companion of war and the enemy of life.

Is the human mind capable of accepting the very fact of war? (L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace", G. Baklanov "Forever - nineteen")

It is difficult for a person who has faced the horrors of war to understand why it is needed. So, one of the heroes of the novel L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" Pierre Bezukhov does not participate in the battles, but he tries with all his might to help his people. He does not realize the true horror of the war until he witnesses the Battle of Borodino. Seeing the massacre, the count is horrified by its inhumanity. He is captured, experiences physical and mental torment, tries to comprehend the nature of war, but cannot. Pierre is not able to cope with a mental crisis on his own, and only his meeting with Platon Karataev helps him understand that happiness lies not in victory or defeat, but in simple human joys. Happiness is inside every person, in his search for answers to eternal questions, awareness of himself as part of the human world. And war, from his point of view, is inhumane and unnatural.

The protagonist of G. Baklanov's story "Forever - nineteen" Alexei Tretyakov painfully reflects on the causes, the significance of the war for the people, man, life. He finds no weighty explanation for the need for war. Its meaninglessness, the depreciation of human life for the sake of achieving any important goal, horrifies the hero, causes bewilderment: “... One and the same thought haunted: will it really turn out someday that this war could not have happened? What was in the power of people to prevent this? And millions would still be alive…”.

How did the children experience the war events? What was their participation in the fight against the enemy? (L. Kassil and M. Polyanovsky "Street of the youngest son")

Not only adults, but also children stood up to defend their homeland during the war. They wanted to help their country, their city and their family in the fight against the enemy. In the center of the story of Lev Kassil and Max Polyanovsky "The Street of the Youngest Son" is an ordinary boy Volodya Dubinin from Kerch. The work begins with the narrators seeing a street named after a child. Curious about this, they go to the museum to find out who Volodya is. The narrators talk with the boy's mother, find his school and comrades, and learn that Volodya is an ordinary boy with his own dreams and plans, whose life has been invaded by the war. His father, the captain of a warship, taught his son to be steadfast and brave. The boy bravely joined a partisan detachment, got news from behind enemy lines and was the first to know about the German retreat. Unfortunately, the boy died during the clearance of approaches to the quarry. However, the city did not forget its little hero, who, despite his youth, performed a daily feat on a par with adults and sacrificed his life to save others.

How did adults feel about the participation of children in military events? (V. Kataev "Son of the regiment")

War is terrible and inhuman, it is not a place for children. In war, people lose loved ones, harden. Adults do their best to protect children from the horrors of war, but, unfortunately, they do not always succeed. The protagonist of Valentin Kataev's story "Son of the Regiment" Vanya Solntsev loses his entire family in the war, wanders through the forest, trying to get through the front line to "his own". Scouts find the child there and bring him to the camp to the commander. The boy is happy, he survived, made his way through the front line, he was fed deliciously and put to bed. However, Captain Enakiev understands that a child has no place in the army, he sadly remembers his son and decides to send Vanya to a children's receiver. On the way, Vanya escapes, trying to return to the battery. After an unsuccessful attempt, he manages to do this, and the captain is forced to accept: he sees how the boy is trying to be useful, eager to fight. Vanya wants to help the common cause: he takes the initiative and goes on reconnaissance, draws a map of the area in the primer, but the Germans catch him doing this. Fortunately, in the general confusion, the child is forgotten and he manages to escape. Yenakiev admires the boy's desire to protect his country, but worries about him. To save the child's life, the commander sends Vanya with an important message away from the battlefield. The entire crew of the first gun dies, and in the letter that Yenakiev handed over, the commander says goodbye to the battery and asks to take care of Van Solntsev.

The problem of the manifestation of humanity in war, the manifestation of compassion, mercy for the captured enemy. (L. Tolstoy "War and Peace")

Only strong people who know the value of human life are capable of showing compassion for the enemy. So, in the novel "War and Peace" L.N. Tolstoy there is an interesting episode describing the attitude of Russian soldiers towards the French. In the night forest, a company of soldiers warmed themselves by the fire. Suddenly, they heard a rustle and saw two French soldiers, despite the wartime, were not afraid to approach the enemy. They were very weak and could hardly stand on their feet. One of the soldiers, whose clothes betrayed him as an officer, fell to the ground exhausted. The soldiers laid out an overcoat for the sick man and brought both porridge and vodka. They were officer Rambal and his batman Morel. The officer was so cold that he could not even move, so the Russian soldiers took him in their arms and carried him to the hut occupied by the colonel. On the way, he called them good friends, while his orderly, already pretty tipsy, sang French songs, sitting between Russian soldiers. This story teaches us that even in difficult times we need to remain human, not to finish off the weak, to show compassion and mercy.

Is it possible to show concern for others during the war years? (E. Vereiskaya "Three Girls")

In the center of the story of Elena Vereiskaya "Three Girls" are friends who stepped from a carefree childhood into a terrible wartime. Girlfriends Natasha, Katya and Lucy live in a communal apartment in Leningrad, spend time together and go to a regular school. The most difficult test in life awaits them, because the war suddenly begins. The school is destroyed, and the friends stop their studies, now they are forced to learn how to survive. The girls grow up quickly: cheerful and frivolous Lucy turns into a responsible and organized girl, Natasha becomes more thoughtful, and Katya becomes self-confident. However, even at such a time, they remain people and continue to take care of their loved ones, despite the difficult living conditions. The war did not divide them, but made them even more friendly. Each of the members of the friendly "communal family" first of all thought about others. There is a very touching episode in the book where the doctor gives most of his ration to a little boy. At the risk of dying of hunger, people share everything they have, and this inspires hope and makes them believe in victory. Care, love and support can work wonders, only thanks to such relationships, people were able to survive some of the most difficult days in the history of our country.

Why do people keep the memory of the war? (O. Bergholz "Poems about myself")

Despite the severity of the memories of the war, you need to keep them. Mothers who have lost children, adults and children who have seen the death of loved ones will never forget these terrible pages in the history of our country, but contemporaries should not forget either. To do this, there are a huge number of books, songs, films designed to tell about a terrible time. For example, in "Poems about Myself" Olga Berggolts urges to always remember wartime, people who fought at the front and died of hunger in besieged Leningrad. The poetess appeals to people who would like to smooth out "in the timid memory of people" this, and assures them that she will not let them forget "how a Leningrader fell on the yellow snow of deserted squares." Olga Berggolts, who went through the whole war and lost her husband in Leningrad, kept her promise, leaving many poems, essays and diary entries after her death.

What helps you win a war? (L. Tolstoy "War and Peace")

You cannot win a war alone. Only by rallying in the face of a common misfortune and finding the courage to resist fear, you can win. In the novel by L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" is especially acute sense of unity. Different people united in the struggle for life and freedom. every soldier, the morale of the army and faith in their own strength helped the Russians to defeat the French army, which encroached on their native land. The battle scenes of the Shengraben, Austerlitz and Borodino battles show the unity of people especially vividly. The winners in this war are not careerists who want only ranks and awards, but ordinary soldiers, peasants, militias, who perform a feat every minute. The modest battery commander Tushin, Tikhon Shcherbaty and Platon Karataev, the merchant Ferapontov, the young Petya Rostov, who combine the main qualities of the Russian people, did not fight because they were ordered, they fought of their own free will, defended their home and their loved ones, which is why they won the war.

What unites people during the war years? (L. Tolstoy "War and Peace")

A huge number of works of Russian literature are devoted to the problem of uniting people during the war years. In the novel by L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" people of different classes and views rallied in the face of a common misfortune. The unity of the people is shown by the writer on the example of many dissimilar individuals. So, the Rostov family leaves all their property in Moscow and gives carts to the wounded. The merchant Feropontov calls on the soldiers to rob his shop so that the enemy does not get anything. Pierre Bezukhov changes clothes and stays in Moscow, intending to kill Napoleon. Captain Tushin and Timokhin heroically fulfill their duty, despite the fact that there is no cover, and Nikolai Rostov boldly rushes into the attack, overcoming all fears. Tolstoy vividly describes Russian soldiers in the battles near Smolensk: the patriotic feelings and fighting spirit of people in the face of danger are fascinating. In an effort to defeat the enemy, protect loved ones and survive, people feel their kinship especially strongly. Having united and feeling brotherhood, the people were able to unite and defeat the enemy.

Why should we learn from defeats and victories? (L. Tolstoy "War and Peace")

One of the heroes of the novel by L.N. Tolstoy, Andrei went to war with the intention of building a brilliant military career. He left his family to gain glory in battle. How bitter was his disappointment when he realized that he had lost this battle. What he imagined in his dreams as beautiful battle scenes, in life turned out to be a terrible massacre with blood and human suffering. Awareness came to him as an insight, he realized that war is terrible, and it carries nothing but pain. This personal defeat in the war made him reevaluate his life and recognize that family, friendship and love are much more important than fame and recognition.

What feelings does the stamina of a defeated enemy evoke in the victor? (V. Kondratiev "Sasha")

The problem of compassion for the enemy is considered in the story of V. Kondratiev "Sasha". A young Russian fighter takes a German soldier prisoner. After talking with the company commander, the prisoner does not give out any information, so Sasha is ordered to deliver him to headquarters. On the way, the soldier showed the prisoner a leaflet, which says that the prisoners are guaranteed life and return to their homeland. However, the battalion commander, who lost a loved one in this war, orders the German to be shot. Sasha's conscience does not allow Sasha to kill an unarmed man, a young guy just like him, who behaves in the same way as he would behave in captivity. The German does not betray his own, does not beg for mercy, preserving human dignity. At the risk of being court martialed, Sashka does not follow the order of the commander. Belief in the correctness saves his life and his prisoner, and the commander cancels the order.

How does war change the worldview and character of a person? (V. Baklanov "Forever - nineteen")

G. Baklanov in the story “Forever - nineteen” speaks about the significance and value of a person, about his responsibility, memory that binds the people: “Through a great catastrophe - a great liberation of the spirit,” Atrakovsky said. “Never before has so much depended on each of us. That is why we will win. And it won't be forgotten. The star goes out, but the field of attraction remains. That's how people are." War is a disaster. However, it leads not only to tragedy, to the death of people, to the breakdown of their consciousness, but also contributes to spiritual growth, the transformation of the people, the definition of true life values ​​by everyone. In war there is a reassessment of values, the worldview and character of a person change.

The problem of the inhumanity of war. (I. Shmelev "The Sun of the Dead")

In the epic "The Sun of the Dead" I. Shmeleva shows all the horrors of war. “The smell of decay”, “cackle, clatter and roar” of humanoids, these are wagons of “fresh human meat, young meat!” and “one hundred and twenty thousand heads! Human!" War is the absorption of the world of the living by the world of the dead. She makes a beast out of a man, makes him do terrible things. No matter how great external material destruction and annihilation, they do not horrify I. Shmelev: neither a hurricane, nor famine, nor snowfall, nor crops drying up from drought. Evil begins where a person begins who does not oppose him, for him "everything - nothing!" "and there is no one, and none." For the writer, it is indisputable that the human mental and spiritual world is a place of struggle between good and evil, and it is also indisputable that always, in any circumstances, even during war, there will be people in whom the beast will not defeat man.

Responsibility of a person for the actions that he committed in the war. Mental trauma of the participants in the war. (V. Grossman "Abel")

In the story "Abel (Sixth of August)" V.S. Grossman reflects on the war in general. Showing the tragedy of Hiroshima, the writer speaks not only about the universal misfortune and ecological catastrophe, but also about the personal tragedy of a person. Young scorer Connor bears the burden of being the man who is destined to push the button to activate the kill mechanism. For Connor, this is a personal war, where everyone remains just a person with his inherent weaknesses and fears in the desire to save his own life. However, sometimes, in order to remain human, you need to die. Grossman is sure that true humanity is impossible without participation in what is happening, and therefore without responsibility for what happened. The pairing in one person of a heightened sense of the World and soldier's diligence, imposed by the state machine and the system of education, turns out to be fatal for the young man and leads to a split in consciousness. Crew members perceive what happened differently, not all of them feel responsible for what they have done, they talk about lofty goals. The act of fascism, unprecedented even by fascist standards, is justified by social thought, being presented as a struggle against the notorious fascism. However, Joseph Conner experiences an acute sense of guilt, washing his hands all the time, as if trying to wash them of the blood of innocents. The hero goes crazy, realizing that his inner man cannot live with the burden that he has taken on himself.

What is war and how does it affect a person? (K. Vorobyov "Killed near Moscow")

In the story “Killed near Moscow”, K. Vorobyov writes that war is a huge machine, “made up of thousands and thousands of efforts of different people, it has moved, it is moving not by someone else’s will, but by itself, having received its course, and therefore unstoppable” . The old man in the house where the retreating wounded are left, calls the war the "master" of everything. All life is now determined by the war, which changes not only life, destinies, but also the consciousness of people. War is a confrontation in which the strongest wins: "In a war, whoever fails first." The death that the war brings occupies almost all the thoughts of the soldiers: “It was in the first months at the front that he was ashamed of himself, he thought he was the only one. Everything is so in these moments, everyone overcomes them alone with himself: there will be no other life. The metamorphoses that occur to a person in war are explained by the purpose of death: in the battle for the Fatherland, soldiers show incredible courage, self-sacrifice, while in captivity, doomed to death, they live guided by animal instincts. War cripples not only the bodies of people, but also their souls: the writer shows how the disabled are afraid of the end of the war, because they no longer represent their place in civilian life.

Is there a place for mercy in war? And is it possible to show mercy to the enemy in war? The text of V. N. Lyalin makes us think about these questions. Here the author raises the problem of showing mercy to the enemy.

In the text, the author tells about Mikhail Ivanovich Bogdanov, who in 1943 was sent to the war to serve as an orderly. In one of the fiercest battles, Mikhail Ivanovich managed to protect the wounded from SS submachine gunners. For the courage shown during the counterattack with the SS division, he was presented to the Order of Glory by the commissar of the battalion. For the next

the day after the battle, noticing the corpse of a German soldier lying in a ditch, Mikhail Ivanovich showed mercy, deciding to bury the German. The author shows us that despite the war, Mikhail Ivanovich was able to retain his humanity, not remaining indifferent to the enemy. Having learned about this case, the battalion commissar decided to cancel the order of Glory presentation of the orderly. However, for Mikhail Ivanovich it was important to act according to his conscience, and not to receive an award.

I agree with

position of the author and is convinced that mercy has a place in war. After all, it does not matter whether the enemy is dead or unarmed, he no longer poses any danger. I believe that Mikhail Ivanovich Bogdanov did a worthy deed by burying the body of a German soldier killed in a shootout. It is very important in the conditions of a cruel war to be able to preserve humanity in oneself and not let one's heart cool down.

The problem of showing mercy to the enemy is raised in the works of V. L. Kondratiev, Sashka,. The main character Sashka captured a German during a German attack. At first, the German seemed to him an enemy, but, looking closely, Sashka saw in him an ordinary person, the same as himself. He no longer saw him as an enemy. Sashka promised the German his life, he said that the Russians are not animals, they will not kill the unarmed. He showed the German a leaflet, which said that the prisoners were guaranteed life and return to their homeland. However, when Sasha brought the German to the battalion commander, the German did not tell anything, and therefore the battalion commander gave Sasha the order to shoot the German. Sasha's hand did not rise to the unarmed soldier who looked so much like him. Despite everything, Sasha retained his humanity. He did not harden and this allowed him to remain a man. As a result, the battalion commander, having analyzed Sasha's words, decided to cancel his order.

The problem of showing mercy to the enemy is touched upon in the work of L. N. Tolstoy, War and Peace. One of the heroes of the novel, the Russian commander Kutuzov, shows mercy to the French fleeing Russia. He pities them, because he understands that they acted on the orders of Napoleon and in no case dared to disobey him. Speaking to the soldiers of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, Kutuzov says: We see that all soldiers are united not only by a sense of hatred, but also by pity for the defeated enemy.

Thus, we can conclude that in war it is necessary to show mercy even to the enemy, no matter whether he is defeated or killed. A soldier is first of all a man and must preserve in himself such qualities as mercy and humanity. It is they who allow him to remain human.

On the ability of Russians to forgive enemies

Mercy and the ability to forgive enemies have always distinguished Russian people. The property of being merciful not only to relatives and friends, but also to strangers - this requires labor and effort from a person.

But the problem of this text lies not only in forgiveness; she is even in more difficult situations that may arise in life. A person may be faced with a choice: should or should he not forgive the enemies of the pain for his torn land, for the crippled destinies of his compatriots and the desecration of everything sacred to him.

Commenting on this problem, it should be said that not all Russian people, both at the front and in the territories liberated from the invaders, were able to forgive uninvited guests for the harm done. And to be irreconcilable for our people in these conditions - this became their right through suffering.

However, the opinion of the author in the text is seen very clearly. The people of Russia, both those who fought and the civilian population, for the most part were not hostile towards the captured Germans. Everyone understood that captivity was a consequence of the same war that ground the lives and destinies of millions of innocent people. At the same time, no matter who they were, no matter the army of any armies was in the power of the winners, the vanquished themselves were not able to change anything in their fate. However, the approaches to the captured Russians and captured Nazis, which were carried out by the “other” side, were sharply opposite in nature. The Nazis deliberately destroyed the captured soldiers of the Red Army, and our command saved the lives of German prisoners of war.

I agree with the position of the author and confirm it with the following first example. The attitude of the Russians towards the prisoners was also filled with high humanism in the war of 1812. In the novel by L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" there is a scene: the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Kutuzov, inspects his regiments after the victorious battle of Krasnensky and thanks them for their feats of arms. But at the sight of thousands of sick and exhausted French prisoners, his gaze becomes sympathetic, and he speaks of the need to "regret" the defeated enemy. After all, real warriors fight with the enemy in an open battle. And when he is defeated, it becomes the duty of the victors to save him from certain death.

The second example, in order to prove the correctness of the author's position, I cite from life, based on real facts. A column of German prisoners of war under escort was led down the street of a small town. The Russian woman brought out three boiled potatoes and two pieces of bread - everything that was in the house from food that day, and gave it to the sickly-looking prisoner, who could barely move his legs.

In conclusion, we can say that the high humanism of the Russian people was manifested in a generous attitude towards the defeated enemy and in the ability to distinguish genuine enemies from those who found themselves in the thick of bloody events against their will.
