Kindness Lessons

An important place in the story of V.P. Astafiev “The Horse with a Pink Mane” is occupied by the theme of kindness. This story is autobiographical and included in the collection "The Last Bow". In it, the author tells about one incident from childhood, which remained in his memory for the rest of his life. The protagonist of the work, the boy Vitya, was left without a mother early and raised by his grandparents. The boy's grandmother, Katerina Petrovna, although a strict woman, loved her grandson very much. Once she sent him with the neighbor boys for berries. With the proceeds, she promised to buy him a gingerbread horse with a pink mane. In those years, such sweets were rare, and boys from all over the village could only dream of such a gingerbread.

The Levontievsky children were hooligan and ill-mannered, which is why the boy's grandmother did not like them. And this time they started a fight along the way, ate all the berries they had picked, and the boy Vitya was forced to do the same. Then he shared his berries, so as not to be known as a greedy person. I didn’t want to return home with an empty vessel, especially knowing my grandmother’s character. There were no tears or excuses with her. Then, the guys advised him to fill the tuesok with grass, and cover it with single berries on top. And so they did. When they returned, Sanka, the most mischievous of the Levontievsky guys, began to threaten that he would betray his grandmother if he did not bring rolls. Then Vitya faced another moral choice: to steal kalachi from his grandmother or not. Still, he stole and wore until Sanka was satisfied.

The events of that day disturbed the boy so much that he could not sleep at all. In the morning I decided to tell my grandmother everything and ask for forgiveness, but she was no longer there. She went to town to sell berries. When Katerina Petrovna returned, she was very angry with her grandson, and he huddled in the closet and did not come out all day. The grandmother told all the neighbors how her grandson treated her. The boy was terribly ashamed. The next day, the grandfather arrived from his lodge and advised Vitya to talk to his grandmother and ask for forgiveness. He did just that. Grandmother at first scolded him for a long time, and then nevertheless gave him a “horse with a pink mane”. So many years have passed since then, grandparents have long been gone, and the author himself has grown old. However, he never forgot that "lesson" of his grandmother and the gingerbread horse.

Viktor Astafiev's story "The Horse with a Pink Mane" immerses the reader in the light and exciting world of childhood. The plot of the story is realistic from beginning to end, but the reader does not leave the feeling of a fairy tale, the magic of what is happening. From the first to the last word, the story is full of love and kindness. The author conveys to the reader the idea that the most important lessons in life are just such lessons of kindness.

The story is told in the first person. The main character, a little boy, dreams of a pink gingerbread horse. This horse is just amazing! You can admire him, it is so pleasant to hide him in your bosom, thanks to him you can feel your power and superiority over the Leontief children. And how delicious it is!

To deserve such a miracle, you need to try hard - to collect a whole bunch of strawberries in the forest. But how do you get it when there is a noisy company of mischievous kids nearby, who strive to either fight or fool around. And so it happened by itself that the main character returns in the evening to his grandmother with an empty tueska and in a depressed state of mind. With the light hand of the insidious Sanka, the solution is found quickly - the boy fills the tuesok with grass, which he sprinkles with berries on top, and gives it to his grandmother.

The deception is revealed quickly, literally the next day: the grandmother almost sold the “strawberries” that the “poor little orphan” picked at the market. Of course, the elderly woman suffered disgrace, and the little prankster seemed to be in for an inevitable and severe punishment. Anticipating trouble, the boy does not sleep well the day before, and spends the whole day in anxiety. There is no choice, he has to go home. And there ... of course, the grandmother is beside herself with worries and indignation. A wave of remorse rolls over the little rascal, he feels so guilty, so lost ...

The grandfather comes to the rescue, trying to encourage his grandson. And this unexpected kindness in response to his prank causes the boy to profuse tears that come from the very depths of his heart, like pure repentance. Now he wants only one thing - to be forgiven, so that his soul is light, clean and joyful, as before.

The culmination of the story is reconciliation with her grandmother and an unexpected gift in the form of a cherished gingerbread horse. This horse is even more than a dream come true, it becomes a symbol of reconciliation, forgiveness and selfless love. The boy is well aware that his behavior deserved only punishment, so for him the horse becomes much more than just a treat. This is a lesson in love, which he remembered for a lifetime and remembers with warmth, already becoming an adult.

When reading some literary works, you not only follow the plot with interest, but also completely immerse yourself in the described era, dissolve in the narrative. This is exactly the story of V. Astafyev "The horse with a pink mane." In many ways, this effect is achieved due to the fact that the author was able to convey a kind of colorful speech of the characters. The action of the story takes place in a remote Siberian village, so there are a lot of outdated and colloquial words in the speech of the heroes. The speech of Katerina Petrovna, the grandmother, is especially rich in them. Being […]

The theme of interaction between man and nature has been raised more than once in the work of Viktor Astafiev. In his story "Vasyutkino Lake" there are two main characters: Vasyutka and taiga. This idea is reflected even in the name: Vasyutka acts as a representative of the human race, and the lake becomes a symbol of the taiga.

Anyone who violates them will inevitably face severe punishment. At the very beginning of the story, Vasyutkin […]

According to legend, the gifts of the Magi are the precious incense that the three wise sorcerers presented to the baby Jesus. They saw a star flare up in the east and realized that the savior of the world had been born. From here came the custom of giving gifts to your loved ones on Christmas Day. In O.

As a child, I dreamed of a dog. She asked to buy a puppy or take at least from the street, anyone. She was ready to take care, give love and time. Parents all promised: "Here you grow up ...", "Here you go to the fifth grade ...". Passed the 5th and 6th, then I grew up and realized that no one would ever let a dog into the house. Agreed on cats. Since […]
The Great Patriotic War is certainly the central historical event of the 20th century. Therefore, it is not surprising that many great literary works have been written about her, both in prose and in verse. Of course, the main contribution here was made by Soviet writers, who were familiar with the horrors of that terrible war firsthand. Many writers of that time themselves took part in the hostilities on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War and in their works convey the "trench" truth of that epochal […]
A creative personality, due to its emotionality, is not at all protected from life's realities, and Tsvetaeva's biography confirms this. The poetess Tsvetaeva Marina Ivanovna was born in Moscow on September 26, 1892. Her mother was a talented pianist and came from a Polish-German family, her father was a famous philologist and art critic, at the time of the birth of his daughter he was a professor at Moscow University, later he became director of the Rumyantsev Museum and founded museum of fine arts.

The controversial and even somewhat scandalous story "Dubrovsky" was written by A. S. Pushkin in 1833. By that time, the author had already grown up, lived in a secular society, and became disillusioned with it and the existing state order. Many of his works, related to that time, were under censorship. And so Pushkin writes about a certain "Dubrovsky", a young, but already experienced, disappointed, but not broken by worldly "storms", a man of 23 years old. There is no point in retelling the plot - I read it and […]
Oblomov's personality is far from ordinary, although other characters treat him with slight disrespect. For some reason, they read it almost flawed compared to them. This was precisely the task of Olga Ilyinskaya - to wake up Oblomov, to force him to prove himself as an active person. The girl believed that love would move him to great accomplishments. But she was deeply mistaken. It is impossible to awaken in a person what he does not have. Because of this misunderstanding, people's hearts were broken, heroes suffered, and […]
The literary fate of Fet is not quite usual. His poems, written in the 40s. XIX century., were met very favorably; they were reprinted in anthologies, some of them were set to music and made the name Fet very popular. And indeed, lyrical poems, imbued with spontaneity, liveliness, sincerity, could not fail to attract attention. In the early 50s. Fet was published in Sovremennik. His poems were highly appreciated by the editor of the magazine Nekrasov. He wrote about Fet: “Something strong and fresh, pure […]
Gogol's poem "Dead Souls" is one of the greatest and at the same time mysterious works of the 19th century. The genre definition of "poem", which at that time unambiguously meant a lyric-epic work written in poetic form and predominantly romantic, was perceived by Gogol's contemporaries in different ways. Some found it mocking, while others saw hidden irony in this definition. Shevyrev wrote that “the meaning of the word ‘poem’ seems to us to be twofold… because of the word ‘poem’ a deep, significant […]
At the time when Vladimir Mayakovsky began his creative activity, a discussion broke out in literature about whether writers should address the theme of love. Mayakovsky writes and dedicates the poem "I Love" to Lila Brik. In it, the feeling of love is reflected by the poet in a different way than in classical poetry of the 19th century. For Mayakovsky, love is a deeply personal experience that has nothing to do with the opinion of the inhabitants about love. The poet called the first part of the work “Usually so” in order to oppose the ordinary perception of the feeling of love […]
On Sunday I went to the gallery with my grandmother. There I saw many interesting paintings by Russian artists. In each room we looked at the paintings of one author. And I really liked and remembered the painting by the artist Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov “Ivan Tsarevich on the Gray Wolf”. She is very big. The guide told us that this picture is based on the famous Russian folk tale "Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf". On it, Ivan Tsarevich and Elena the Beautiful run away from the chase.

It was a foggy autumn morning. I walked through the forest deep in thought. I walked slowly, slowly, and the wind fluttered my scarf and leaves hanging from high branches. They swayed in the wind and seemed to be talking peacefully about something. What were those leaves whispering about? Perhaps they whispered about the past summer and the hot rays of the sun, without which now they have become so yellow and dry. Perhaps they were trying to call for cool streams that could give them drink and bring them back to life. Perhaps they were whispering about me. But only a whisper […]

Research work. Lessons of kindness and forgiveness in "The Parable of the Prodigal Son" and in the story of V.P. Astafyev "The horse with a pink mane". Completed by a student of grade 6 MOU secondary school No. 2 of Mozhaisk Shudrova E. Supervisor: Trifonova I.V.

Research work. Theme: The lessons of kindness and forgiveness in the Parable of the Prodigal Son and in the story The Horse with the Pink Mane. Purpose: to show how kindness, mercy, forgiveness help people become better. Tasks: 1. Compare "The Parable of the Prodigal Son" and the story "The Horse with the Pink Mane". 2. Show how the father in the parable and the grandmother in the story “punish” the children with kindness. 3. Reveal the lesson of kindness and forgiveness in the works.

3 The Parable of the Prodigal Son says: “The younger son demanded part of the inheritance from his father, and having collected everything, he went to a far country, and there he squandered his possessions, living dissolutely.” What did his life in a foreign land lead to, a life in which there was no place left for his father's commandments?

He became a beggar, was forced to hire himself as a worker for a rich man, to herd pigs. “And he was glad to fill his belly with the horns that the pigs ate, but no one gave him.”

Why did the prodigal son choose to return to his father? He realized his sin, repented of it, realized that he was not worthy to be called the son of his father. He decided to return to be at least a mercenary among others, no longer demanding either his father's love or benefits, since he considered himself unworthy of them. Not hunger, but above all shame and guilt before his family lead him home. .

How is his father greeted? His father gladly accepted him into his arms and even arranged a feast in honor of his return. And the father turned out to be wise: not a word of reproach, not moralizing. He understands that his son is already hard and ashamed that the lesson given to him by life was not in vain, and nothing needs to be added to this. .

7 How do we understand the words of the father: “This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found?” The son was "dead" because he forgot the commandments of God and led a dissolute life, but now he realized his sin, repented; came to life - his soul returned. What is the idea of the parable? The parable carries the idea of repentance and forgiveness. It is never too late to admit your mistakes, repent of your sins, return to the true path and receive forgiveness.

The grandmother in the story “The Horse with the Pink Mane”, just like the father in the parable, had a choice: she could hold a grudge and reproach her grandson for deceit and theft. But the grandmother forgives him. And he forgives both out of his natural kindness and pity, and out of the ability of a subtle and sensitive understanding that the grandson repents. The grandmother “punishes” her grandson with kindness. And the point is not only that one cannot deceive and betray loved ones, but the realization of the need to forgive. She overcomes evil with good. A white horse with a pink mane rode on pink hooves on a scraped kitchen table, as if on a huge land with arable land, meadows and roads. - Take it, take it, what are you watching? You look, but even when you deceive your grandmother ... "

It turns out that parental love is something you cannot live without. She is above justice. Grandmother believed in him, understood that he was suffering and repenting. Mercy, kindness and forgiveness have done what the most severe punishment would not have done. The writer is grateful to his grandmother for her kindness, for believing in him, for helping him to realize his guilt. “How many years have passed since then! ..And I still can’t forget my grandmother’s gingerbread - that marvelous horse with a pink mane. This is how the writer ends his story. He justified her trust and grew up to be a real person who understands what honesty, duty, conscience, kindness are. .
