What should be beautiful in a person. Everything must be perfect in a person.

“Everything should be beautiful in a person: both the face, and clothes, and the soul, and thoughts.”
The authorship of this popular expression belongs to the Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904), who put it into the mouth of Dr. Astrov, one of the characters in the play Uncle Vanya.
Undoubtedly, we have before us one of those happy cases when a literary quotation gained wingedness thanks to deepest the demands of the human soul, yearning for the ideal. People felt in this expression that high and noble goal, which can be expressed as follows: to revive the true beauty that is the hallmark of humanity.
"In man should be everything is fine…"
Exactly this " should be" with the utmost clarity indicates that without beauty, in fact, there is no humanity! And this makes us think about many things and reconsider many ideas that have become familiar. For example, when we proudly call ourselves human beings, are we wishful thinking? Shouldn't we still thoroughly work on ourselves in order not in words, but in deeds to become people?
If now we look at our surroundings from this angle, and also look inside ourselves, then, having seen a lot of ugly and ugly things and at the same time remaining honest with ourselves, we will have to admit the following: in order not only to be called, but, above all, be people, we still lack a lot! We lack true humanity, which finds its expression in the beauty of the soul, thoughts, face and clothes. Exactly as it says: “Everything should be beautiful in a person: the face, and clothes, and the soul, and thoughts.”
Let us now take a closer look at this phrase, at the components mentioned in it.
Let's start with the soul. An earthly man must make his soul beautiful. What does this mean?
Through the Grail Message, we know that the spirit is the true life-giving core of the multifaceted human being. Actually, it is the spirit that is in us, earthly people, the source of humanity, giving our soul (subtle shells of the spirit) and earthly body that characteristic human form that distinguishes us from other creatures. And only thanks to the spirit, our life-giving core, do we become human beings, provided, of course, that we allow the spirit that exists in us to manifest itself. Thus, the spirituality of our being is the only criterion of our humanity! And this, in turn, means that the true beauty, which we must allow to manifest, lies in the spirit!
And we will definitely make our soul beautiful if we allow the spirit to manifest itself. Then this will happen in a self-propelled way: our entire spiritual (inner) life - our feelings, aspirations, desires - will bear the stamp of beauty, for they will be based on the radiations of the spirit, which manifests itself through deep sensations. It should also be emphasized that the active manifestation of the spirit that exists in us from the inside out, when our feelings are based on the sensations of the spirit, is natural, that is, correct from the point of view of the Laws of Creation. Such a distribution of roles between feelings and sensation does not violate the harmony in Creation, affirming beauty in Creation.
Now let's move on to the next component: thoughts.
Thoughts are the most external manifestation of what is usually called the inner life of a person. Thoughts arise in the mind, which is a product of the large (front) brain of an earthly person.
If the earthly body consists of dense gross materiality, then reason, as a product of the activity of the forebrain, and thoughts, as a product of the mind, consist of finer coarse materiality. They are invisible to earthly eyes, since they have a more subtle nature, while still referring to the same gross materiality that makes up the earthly body.
Strict control over one's mental activity is very important for an earthly person who is imbued with aspiration for spiritual rebirth and perfection. To give beauty to your thoughts means, again, nothing more than to subordinate your mind to the spirit. True, it is very difficult for a modern earthly person to achieve this, because the emergence of original sin in humanity is associated with rational activity: a hypertrophied forebrain. Humanity itself has achieved that the mind has become unnaturally active, by its activity drowning out and blocking the spiritual impulses of sensation coming from the depths of the soul. However, no spiritual ascent is possible without purity of thoughts and submission to their sensations.
Having applied all the forces at his disposal, an earthly person must also cope with this task if he does not want to perish a spiritual death. And he will certainly cope with it - in the presence of a truly good will, aspiration upward to the Light and incessant work on himself to eradicate his shortcomings.
Now let's talk about the human face.
It's not a secret for anyone that an earthly person endowed with a beautiful appearance (face, figure) can have an ugly inner world. And vice versa: an ugly earthly form can contain a beautiful soul. How to be in this case? After all, obviously, having a beautiful soul and an ugly earthly form, an earthly person will no longer be able, in the short period of earthly life allotted to him, to ensure that the earthly form (a person’s face) is transformed so that it becomes a reflection of a beautiful soul.
It should be noted here that such a state of affairs, when form and essence are in conflict with each other, became possible solely through the fault of people themselves, as a result of the fall of mankind. That is, we ourselves have distorted and confused everything for thousands of years in such a way that now we cannot cope with the reigning chaos and confusion on our own. It is also obvious that with the harmonious development of mankind, the noted cases of contradiction between essence and form would be excluded.
But even if this is not so now, it is necessary to note the following: a rich, full of beauty and nobility, the inner life of a person always compensates for the imperfection of the external form, because ... this inner life will inevitably be reflected on a person’s face. And then even a seemingly ugly face, under the influence of the studies of the spirit, will be transformed and become spiritualized, that is, still beautiful - this will happen thanks to the radiance of the eyes, a smile, etc.
Speaking now about clothes, it is necessary to start with the fact that the so-called fashion, that is, those types and styles of clothing that earthly people today, especially women, are guided by, is not a criterion of beauty. In our case, we are talking only about true beauty, and not about that perverted idea of \u200b\u200bbeauty, which is dictated by fashion.
Of course, every woman and girl, striving to be beautiful, strives to wear beautiful clothes. However, at the same time, a woman must, simply must, focus on the sensations of her spirit - on that sense of beauty that breaks through from the inside, and not on the so-called fashion, which is imposed from the outside by a prudent mind that has lost touch with the spirit, pursuing exclusively base goals. Reason has achieved that the beauty of the earthly body, especially the female, is torn off from spiritual beauty. Hence all the shamelessness and ugliness of the current styles of clothing, especially youth fashion. There is not a drop of beauty in this. For a person who has awakened at least a little spiritually, this is immediately evident: the spiritual component is completely absent in the clothes of modern fashionistas. Only by this sign alone, by the way women of today dress, one can judge the unrestrained spiritual fall of all mankind.
And yet, an earthly person should dress beautifully. After all, carelessness in clothing, neglect of appearance testify to character flaws, spiritual omissions and shortcomings. Therefore, an earthly person must first of all revive his spirit, which in sensations will tell him the style of his clothes, allowing him to reveal his unique individuality.
A spiritually awakened person, having revived the sense of beauty in himself, will strive for perfection in everything. He will make every effort to ensure that his soul, thoughts, face and clothes become beautiful - they become an expression of his inner core, spirit!

There are many capacious sayings and catchphrases in literature, which we get acquainted with earlier than with the works to which they belong. We hear them in the speech of adults, we see them framed within the walls of educational and educational institutions. Phrases such as: “Happy hours do not watch”, “Fresh legend, but hard to believe”, “Man - it sounds proud” ...

And the saying “Everything in a person should be beautiful: face, clothes, soul, and thoughts” is no exception. I heard and remembered this phrase much earlier than I learned the name of Chekhov, and much earlier than I got acquainted with his work. You feel a strange feeling when you recognize something familiar in a stranger.

And just then you begin to seriously and thoughtfully delve into what you had only memorized before.

What kind of phrase is this, and how to correlate it with the work of Anton Pavlovich, how to connect it with the face of Belikov in the story "The Man in the Case", or the souls and thoughts of the Turkin family in the story "Ionych", or the lack of his thoughts in Darling in the eponymous story.

And the thing is that this statement, like no other, speaks of the singularity and integrity of the author himself - Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.

Let's look at this amazing man through the eyes of his contemporaries.

“That’s how you see him at this time: (I improvised “Surgery” with his brother Alexander) tall, graceful, flexible, very mobile, with light brown cheerful eyes, magnetically attracting everyone to him.” K. Chukovsky.

“... Chekhov's eyes, blue, radiant, deep, shone with thought and some kind of almost childish immediacy. It seemed that a source of wit and direct fun flowed from his eyes ... "V.G. Korolenko.

And there's one more thing I can't help mentioning. “Three artists are connected in our minds with each other and personify Russia: these are Chekhov, Tchaikovsky and Levitan,” said K.T. Paustovsky.

Pay attention - the face of Russia, the beautiful face of Russia. It is no coincidence that Chekhov did not use the word "beautiful" in his statement, but said "beautiful." Beauty is a concept that changes over time, in addition, it can be used in a diminutive and derogatory sense, for example, beautiful, but empty. With the word great - it will not work.

The first word in the sentence "In a person ...". It is in man, and not in nature, not in the universe. Why? Everything is very simple: order and harmony reign in nature and in the universe, only man is imperfect, and it is he who must strive for perfection, constantly working on himself.

Chekhov made himself. After all, he was born into a merchant family, he said about himself like this: "In childhood, I did not have a childhood." But the family had a "soul", the soul of the family was the mother - Evgenia Yakovlevna. True, one cannot think that the soul can be passed on as an inheritance. The soul is born in torment: in labor, often unbearable, and suffering. And this in the life of A.P. Chekhov was in abundance, early independent life was not easy. In the fight against difficulties, bearing responsibility for all family members, he became courageous and mature. Not hardened, but strengthened his soul, became truly beautiful.

He loved people. “And how fun he was with people! With those whom he loved ... And how inexhaustible was his spiritual generosity, that he was ready to endow many people with the riches of his own soul.

In his letters to friends, acquaintances, relatives (he wrote a lot and to many) one can read “glorious fellow”, “soul-man”, “great guy”, “handsome fellow and wonderful writer”, “dear human being” ...

And this characterizes Antosha Chekhonte as a person with a beautiful soul. After all, we know that the more sincere a person is, the more he sees good people around him.

He not only loved people, he respected them. The house in both Melekhov and Yalta "swarmed" with people, its hospitality knew no bounds, people lived for months. But no one has ever seen him in a bathrobe. And even for morning tea, in the absence of guests, he went out in a suit, with carefully shaved cheeks, a neatly trimmed beard. This suggests that outwardly he was also beautiful, i.e. clothes were neat and fitting.

But the thoughts of a person with a beautiful soul, who loves people, cannot be bad. After all, they, thoughts, cannot always diverge from actions, which means that they were beautiful in Chekhov too.

And this once again emphasizes that only a whole person is responsible for what he writes. In the statement, all the words are key and everything is about Chekhov.

And his characters are different - there are amazing ones, for example, Dr. Dymov in "The Jumper", there are funny ones - Kuldarov in the story "Joy", there are disgusting ones - Belikov in "The Man in a Case", there are touching ones - Olenka from the story "Darling".

In order to improve yourself, you need to see the vices in others, then you will want to eradicate them and say to yourself: “Everything in a person should be beautiful: face, clothes, soul, and thoughts.”

(Children are divided into 3 groups)

(Slide 1)

(The topic of the lesson is reported)

In the lesson, you and I must figure out what the author of these words A.P. Chekhov meant when he uttered this phrase. Let's try to finish it. On the "Accumulation of opinions" tablet, we will write down all your opinions about what is considered beautiful in a person.

(Slide 2)

On the slide you see pictures of people. Choose the ones you like. Explain your choice.

(Work in groups.)

(One person from the group explains what is chosen and why.)

Why do you like these people?(They have good looks, do good deeds, are healthy, friendly, and active.)

So what do you think makes up the beauty of a person? (From appearance,actions, goodwill, physical condition.) (Answers are recorded on the tablet)

You almost answered my question, but let's make sure your answers are correct with other examples.

I have prepared a surprise for you:

What did you feel, what did you think before unwrapping the chocolate?

What did you feel after?

What did this exercise teach you?

Generalization: Of course, you did the exercise for no joke. It helped us to visually make sure that not every bright, colorful thing is really valuable. No wonder the Russian folk proverb says: “Not everything that glitters is gold.” Sometimes the same happens with people. Outwardly beautiful people do not seem attractive to others.

Why does it happen?

What kind of person can be called beautiful? (Answers are recorded on the tablet)

The teacher's story.

And now I will tell you a story.

“Two girls lived in the same house - girlfriends Karina and Dasha. Karina considered herself a very beautiful girl. She always took care of her appearance. She wanted to look her best. She spent much more time at the mirror than other girls. But in the class, she was rightfully considered the most beautiful student.

Dasha was a modest, shy girl.

Once girlfriends, chatting merrily, were returning home from school. Approaching the crossroads, they saw an old grandfather. He stood and, apparently, did not dare to cross the road. Karina was about to pass by, but Dasha stopped and asked:

Can I help you?

Help, please, kind girl. My eyes don't see anything at all and I can't cross the road. Dasha took the old man by the hand and carefully led him across the road.

Thank you girl. You are beautiful like the sun.

“How beautiful she is, I am much more beautiful than her,” Karina thought, offended that her beauty was not noticed. And aloud she asked:

How do you know she's beautiful, can't you see?

The beauty of this girl can be seen even by a blind person, because her beauty comes from the heart, - answered the grandfather.

What beauty was grandfather talking about?

Which girl do you think is beautiful? Why?

Generalization. (Answers are recorded on the tablet)

Now listen to A. Barto's poem "In the Mirror".

I don't look in mirrors

There are more important things to do!

I'm not beautiful, I'm not ugly

Ordinary guy.

Normal nose, normal mouth!

What are the eyes? Brown.

I don't look in mirrors

There are more important things to do!

But suddenly one story

Happened to me.

I played hockey in the yard,

I ran into an old lady

Well, what happens in the game

She got hit with a stick!

She is a word and I am a word

We are in the middle of a war

Suddenly I see a face in the mirror

Lumpy feisty guy!

They carried a mirror to the neighbors,

And now in broad daylight

It's so twisted

Spoiled me!

Ordinary nose, ordinary mouth,

But it turns out I'm a freak!

Started looking in the mirror

I am evening and day

And every time is different

I see myself in him.

caressed the lame cat

Accidentally on the boulevard.

I go home past the mirrors -

Look, handsome guy!

I change 10 times a day.

I started fussing with my sister

And the ball was taken away by force -

Look: I'm not handsome!

Ordinary nose, ordinary mouth,(Slide 3)

Now I'm handsome, now I'm ugly!

No, mirrors reflect

Not only our faces.

And our thoughts and deeds

They may be reflected.

What discovery did the hero of the poem make for himself?

How do you understand the last lines of the poem?

What actions are considered good? (Answers are recorded on the tablet)

Each of the three groups is invited to come up with and portray a good, kind deed that makes a person beautiful (pity for smaller brothers - animals, respect for the elderly, helping people with health problems.Situations are given to groups on cards.) After each dramatization, the rest of the guys guess the depicted actions and answer the question

Can this act be called beautiful? Why?

If I name a good deed, you clap your hands, if a bad one, don't clap.

Say hello when you meet.
Push and don't apologize.
Get a ticket on the bus.
After resting in the forest, leave a dump behind.
Extort money from classmates.
Throw the candy wrapper past the urn.
Go skiing.
Take someone else's thing without permission.
Get on the bench with your feet.
Sign up for the sports section.

You are well versed in what is good and what is bad. Well done!

It's a good thing to do sports. It also makes a person.

Our boys all attend the sports section. Raise your hands now who love to do this. What gives you sport?

(Sport helps me… I enjoy…)

Now we will showcase your rewards:(Slides 4 - 9)

The guys made a very right decision to go in for sports. They not only improve their health and become attractive, but they do not have time to do dirty tricks. Think about it!

Let's now discuss with you what idleness can lead to and what consequences to expect from this.

(Many begin to smoke, try alcohol and even drugs. The consequences, of course, will be the most deplorable: the commission of offenses, harm to health, etc.)) (Slides)

Now tell me what do you choose? (I appeal to those who do not like sports)

(slide 10)

Did you know that a person's actions are influenced by his mood? Most often, the mood is made up of kind words that we hear, of smiles that we give to each other. When a person is well, then he has good desires. But in life we say very few kind words. The poet Eduard Asadov wrote a poem in which he calls us to this:

"Tender words"

Are we cooling our hearts

Is it a head full of prose,

Only we remember less and less

Light and sweet words...

... And if you really want,

To ring with happiness head

Keep nothing in your heart

Speak people, speak

The best words!

Let's practice saying kind words to each other in the form of compliments.

Training "Compliment"

Children are invited to compliment the person next to them.

Lenochka, what a beautiful dress you have! Dima, and you are a very kind boy! …

Is it nice to receive a compliment?

What was on your faces when you received a compliment?

Give each other smiles. They make us kind, and our faces sweet and pleasant.

Guys, let's remember the topic of our lesson.

(-Everything should be fine in a person ...)

Let's try to finish this sentence and replace the ellipsis with specific words.

(-appearance, soul, diligence, health, politeness, etc. - words from the tablet)

Do you want to know what words A.P. Chekhov ended this phrase with?

(Slide 11)

“Everything should be beautiful in a person: face, clothes, soul, and thoughts.”

How do you understand this statement?

What kind of person do you consider beautiful?

Have you met beautiful people?

On the board we have a picture of the Snow Queen. Let's make her soul, heart beautiful now.

Exercise.

I will give you hearts, and you write advice on the heart. Which will help him become beautiful and attach around him in a circle.

The beauty standard of the 21st century.

“… what is beauty

And why do people deify her?

She is a vessel in which there is emptiness,

Or fire flickering in a vessel?

N. Zabolotsky

Man has always had a desire for beauty. What is the true beauty of a person? People have thought about this “eternal” question at all times. Each historical era gave birth to its own idea of beauty. Either curvy figures were valued in fashion, or thin and athletic ones; sometimes pale complexion, sometimes ruddy. And this is understandable, because people have different tastes and preferences. For example, the sculpture of Aphrodite was considered the standard of beauty in Ancient Greece, in Ancient Egypt - Queen Nefertiti, in the Middle Ages the ideal of a woman was personified by the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the 20th century - Marilyn Monroe, in the 21st century - Angelina Jolie.

Beauty attracts. A beautiful person is easier to live. Yes, it probably is. Therefore, modern girls strive for the ideal from the covers of fashion magazines, for unattainable parameters of 90-60-90, thereby bringing themselves to complete exhaustion. Anorexia nervosa is a modern disease of the 21st century that has claimed more than one life of a teenage girl. In pursuit of an ideal appearance, one should not forget that health directly depends on naturally achieved beauty, without violence against one's own nature and excessive adherence to fashion trends.

Others, on the contrary, do their best to disfigure themselves and thereby attract the attention of others. For example, bodybuilding. It seems to me that people with huge muscles completely forget how real men and women should look. This so-called "beauty" also brings great harm to health, it is enough to recall the death of V. Turchinsky. And women lose the most important thing - the opportunity to become a mother!

Trying to embellish ourselves, we sometimes lose something more than just our individuality. For example, representatives of modern youth subcultures: punks, goths, emo, hippies, rappers. Their appearance is distorted almost beyond recognition. Some have bright, catchy colors, long hair, all kinds of piercings, a cult of abomination and aggressiveness; others have black color, aesthetics of death, mysticism and depressive mood. Well, for example, goths tend to be like the characters of dark cartoons. Pale skin, black-lined eyes and lips, dark clothes - all this appearance is ready. Is it beautiful?!

It seems to me that a beautiful person is not necessarily a model with an ideal figure, but a person who takes care of himself, goes in for sports, leads a healthy lifestyle. True beauty is natural, simple and artless. Such a person does not seek to impress anyone, he is what he is.

External beauty creates only the first impression of a person: remember the proverb: “They meet by clothes ...” But there is also another side of beauty that is hidden from prying eyes - this is the inner world of a person, his soul, thoughts and feelings. And if the beauty of a person's soul is combined with the beauty of the outside, then such a person can be called truly beautiful, because everything is harmonious in such a person. I think this is what Anton Pavlovich Chekhov meant when he said that “everything in a person should be beautiful: face, clothes, soul, and thoughts ...” You rarely meet such people. For some reason, most often external attractiveness coexists with moral ugliness, and external ugliness with the beauty of the soul. Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy once said a brilliant phrase: “You can fall in love with beauty, but you can only love the soul.” The main thing in a person, of course, is the soul, for which a standard has not yet been invented. All beauty will fade with time. But spiritual beauty, the beauty of a loving, kind heart will never run out!!!

Sometimes you look at a beautiful person, and “cold” beauty emanates from him. And you look into the soul - there is emptiness and cold. And sometimes it seems that a person is not handsome, but the soul sings. People say: “The earth is painted by the sun, but a person ...” I believe that kindness colors a person. And among us there are people who radiate light, warmth. Looking at them, you always want to smile. I call such people sunny. They shine for people, that is, they make those around them happy. Not everyone can become such a person. To do this, you need to have a rich soul, feel the misfortune of anyone with your heart, be able to sacrifice something without expecting praise. There are many such people around me. This is primarily a mother and grandmother. I am convinced that good children can only be in a family where love and kindness reign. I have been studying at our school for 7 years and I know that the concepts of "kindness", "responsiveness", "attention" are close to our children. At school, we are always taught that it is not necessary to wait for a request for help from someone. We need to see those who need it. Real people are always just there to help. This state of each person should be natural.

I cannot call a cruel person beautiful, who is capable of meanness and deceit, who is rude, swears, has bad habits.

Thus, for me, the standard of beauty of the 21st century is a person who is outwardly pleasant, and this is not only a beautiful face, but the impression that is created from the whole appearance of a person: his face, figure, manner of dressing and manner of speaking, from his facial expressions and gestures. Also, in my opinion, for the external beauty of a person, the level of his general culture is very important. This culture will manifest itself in everything: how a person looks, what he wears, how he behaves, what books he reads, what music he listens to, what he dreams about.

In addition, a handsome person must be smart and educated. Mind for me is generally the most important quality in a person. It seems to me that if there is a mind, then many qualities will be applied. A smart and self-confident person simply cannot be ugly.

A beautiful person is a person who knows how to do good. Kindness is the highest manifestation of morality in a person. To do good means to be attentive to people, to help, support, sympathize and sympathize. This is not some special heroism. It's just the way people do it.

It is very important for me that a person is cheerful and cheerful, that he shines with happiness and optimism. What could be more beautiful than a wide smile, eyes sparkling with joy, a light flying gait?

In addition, a beautiful person, in my opinion, is a person who knows how to love and make friends. This is a person who is interested in living in the world, in his country.

This is the standard of beauty all over the world and at all times!!!

“Everything should be perfect in a person…”

(Class hour about beauty, physical and spiritual for high school students)

(1860- 1904 )
Target: the formation of students' ideas about the mental and physical beauty of a person;
Tasks:
to develop in students an aesthetic taste in clothing, manner of speaking, and behaving in society;
introduce students to the model of a perfect person;
to educate students in the desire to dress beautifully, take care of their appearance and behave with dignity in society.
Explanatory note:
We live every day and in the hustle and bustle of passing days sometimes we don’t notice the main thing: how we are dressed, whether we take care of ourselves, how we speak, how we behave in society. But this is very important. This class hour will help high school students build a model of a perfect person, based on the famous phrase of A.P. Chekhov.
Teacher: Today we will try to imagine, build a perfect model, what are the components of a perfect person? Is it possible to call a perfect person with an ugly, ugly face?
Unlikely. However, not all people (and we are no exception) have classic facial features: a Greek nose, an amazing cut of the eyes, long eyelashes ...
What makes our face, often imperfect, beautiful? How do you think? (guys answer)
And here is how Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy writes about this: “The mirror reflected an ugly, weak body and a thin face. His eyes were always sad, now they looked at themselves in the mirror especially hopelessly. “Is she flattering me?” thought the princess, turned away and continued to read. Julie, however, did not flatter her friend: indeed, the eyes of the princess, large, deep and radiant (as if rays of warm light sometimes came out of them in sheaves), were so good that very often, despite the ugliness of her whole face, these eyes became more attractive. beauty."
Reader (1):
There are faces like magnificent portals
Where everywhere the great is seen in the small.
There are faces that look like miserable shacks,
Where the liver is cooked and the abomasum gets wet.
Other cold, dead faces
Closed with bars, like a dungeon.

Others are like towers in which
Nobody lives and looks out the window.
But I once knew a small hut,
She was unsightly, not rich,
But from her window on me
The breath of a spring day flowed.
Truly the world is both great and wonderful!

There are faces - the likeness of jubilant songs.
Of these, like the sun, shining legs
Compiled a song of heavenly heights.

About the beauty of human c

beaming happy faces
Reader (2):
Among the other children playing
She looks like a frog
A thin shirt is tucked into shorts,
Rings of reddish curls
Scattered, the mouth is long, the teeth are crooked,
Facial features are sharp and ugly,
Two little boys, her peers,
Fathers bought a bicycle
Today the boys, not in a hurry for dinner,
They drive around the yard, forgetting about her,
She's chasing after them.
Someone else's joy, just like your own,
It torments her and breaks out of the heart,
And the girl rejoices and laughs,
Embraced by the happiness of being.

Not a shadow of envy, not a bad intention,
Don't know this creature yet.
Everything in the world is so immeasurably new to her,
Everything that is dead for others is so alive!
And I don't want to think, watching
What will be the day when she, sobbing,
She will see with horror that among her friends,
She's just a poor bastard!
I want to believe that the heart is not a toy,
You can hardly break it all of a sudden!
I want to believe that this flame is pure,
that burns deep within,
One will hurt all his pain
And melt the heaviest stone!
And let her features are not good
And she has nothing to seduce the imagination, -
Infant grace of the soul
Already see through in any of its movements.
And if so, what is beauty
And why do people deify it?

She is a vessel in which emptiness
Or fire flickering in a vessel?

N. Zabolotsky. Ugly girl.
Teacher: But what advice does Emilia Brontë give to the young man in the novel Wuthering Heights?
Reader (3): “Come to the mirror and I will show you what you should desire. Do you see those two lines between your eyebrows? And those thick eyebrows, which, instead of rising in an arch, fall down at the bridge of the nose? Do you see this pair of black imps buried so deep? They never boldly open their windows, but only peep through them furtively, like the devil's spies! So wish and learn to smooth out gloomy wrinkles, boldly raise your eyelids; replace the demons with trusting, innocent angels, looking without suspicion, without fear, and always seeing a friend when they do not firmly know that they have an enemy in front of them. Do not look gloomy and vicious ... "
Reader (1): So, can a person with an ugly face be called perfect? (Adds words to A.P. Chekhov's statement about "face")
Imagine a man with a beautiful face and slovenly, tastelessly dressed. Can such a person be called perfect?
(guys answer)
Clothing plays an important role in our life. It should decorate a person, emphasize the advantages of his appearance and hide his shortcomings. Believe me, a person with good looks can turn into a caricature of himself from just one detail of his costume.
Reader (2): Let's remember Princess Diana, her impeccable taste in clothes, manner of speaking, and behaving in public. Her outfits drove all the women of the planet crazy, she was imitated and envied. She was a tall, unusually beautiful woman. For every occasion in her life, she had special outfits, she was sewn by the best fashion designers on the planet.

And here is what academician D.S. Likhachev...
Reader (2):“You can be funny in everything, even in the manner of dressing. If a young man chooses too carefully a tie to a shirt, a shirt to a suit, he is ridiculous. Excessive concern for one's appearance is immediately visible. Care must be taken to dress decently, but this care in men should not go beyond certain limits. A man who cares too much about his appearance is unpleasant. Girls and women are different. For men, there should be only a hint of fashion in their clothes. A perfectly clean shirt, clean shoes and a fresh but not very bright tie are enough. The suit may be old, it should not only be untidy.”
Teacher: And what do you think is the main sign of taste in a person?
(guys answer)
Let us turn to classical literature for help.
Reader (3):
“At that moment, two ladies walked past us to the well, one elderly, the other young ... I didn’t see their faces behind their hats, but they were dressed according to strict rules of the best taste: nothing superfluous” (M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time")

Teacher: So, the main sign of a person's taste is a sense of proportion. Yes, those dresses, hats are outdated, but taste, good manners, lack of vulgarity in clothes and behavior will never become obsolete. Perhaps that is why Tatyana Larina is an eternal ideal. Let's remember those dedicated to her lines.
Reader (1):
She was slow
Not cold, not talkative
Without an arrogant look for everyone,
No claim to success
Without these little antics
No imitations...
Everything is quiet, it was just in it ...
No one could have her beautiful
name; but head to toe
Nobody could find it
The fact that fashion is autocratic
In the high London circle
It's called vulgar...
A. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin"
(excerpt from the novel)

Teacher: What other word should be added to the phrase of A.P. Chekhov: “Everything should be beautiful in a person: both the face and…”
(Adds the word spoken by the guys: “clothes.”)
And we continue to find the components of a perfect person. What can't a person do without? Let the statement of D.I. Fonvizin from the comedy "Undergrowth"
Reader (2):“Without ... (soul) the most enlightened clever woman is a creature, an ignoramus without ... (soul) is a beast” ...
(The teacher adds the word “soul” guessed by the children to A.P. Chekhov’s statement.)

Teacher: Cultivating a culture of feelings, a soul is not a task for a decade, a quarter, a year, it is a task for a lifetime, since a person accumulates precious experience bit by bit throughout his conscious life, manifestations of the best, high, spiritual qualities.
The eighteenth-century American educator Benjamin Franklin, while still a printer's worker, compiled for himself "thirteen principles of petty, everyday virtue." They included: restraint, silence, order, determination, activity, frankness, frugality, moderation, cleanliness, calmness, chastity, modesty. He persistently and stubbornly developed and nurtured these qualities in himself. Through self-education, he became one of the most enlightened people of his time, and through self-improvement, he became a humanist.
To educate a culture of feelings, a culture of human communication, of the soul is not only a long, but also a difficult task.
Generally recognized: it is not easy for a person to feel a person in himself, to grow a soul in himself that would correspond to the ideal.
Reader (3):
Don't let your soul be lazy!
So as not to crush water in a mortar,
The soul must work
Drive her from house to house
Drag from stage to stage
Through the wasteland, through the windbreak,
Through the snowdrift, through the bump!
Don't let her sleep in bed
By the light of the morning star
Keep the lazy in the black body
And don't take the reins off her!
If you want to give her an indulgence,
Releasing from work
She's the last shirt
Will rip you off without pity.
And you grab her by the shoulders
Teach and torture until dark
To live with you like a human
She re-learned.
She is a slave and a queen
She is a worker and a daughter,
She has to work
And day and night, and day and night!
. N. Zabolotsky. Don't let your soul be lazy.

Teacher: A person can experience high spiritual aspirations, sincerely love all of humanity, but all this will remain in vain until he confirms his aspirations in real, albeit at first glance, ordinary deeds. Humanity is made up of concrete people. And each person needs specific goodness, specific sympathy. And how important it is to surround a person with attention and care in time.
Reader (1):
I had a bad life with my stepfather,
He raised me anyway.
And that's why
Sometimes I regret that I didn't
Something to make him happy.
When he lay down and died quietly,
Mother tells -
Day by day
More and more often he remembered me and waited:
“I wish Shurka… He would have saved me!”
To a homeless grandmother in her native village
I said: they say, I love her so much,
That I'll grow up and cut down her house myself,
I will prepare firewood
I will buy bread.
Dreamed of many things
Promised a lot...
In the blockade of the Leningrad old man
Saved from death
Yes, a day late
And the days will not return centuries.
Now I've walked a thousand roads
I could buy a cartload of bread, I could cut down a house.
No stepfather
And my grandmother died...
Hurry up to do good deeds!
A. Yashin. Hurry up to do good deeds
Teacher: Yes, timely assistance to specific people is one of the main manifestations of a person's spiritual qualities.
Reader (2):
To end,
To the silent cross
May the soul remain pure.

Before this
yellow, dull
birch side
mine,
Before the lazy
Cloudy and sad
In autumn days
sad rains,
Before that
Strict village council,
Before that
Herd by the bridge
Before everything
antique white light
I swear:
My soul is pure.
Let her
Stay clean
To end,
To the death cross!
N. Rubtsov. To end.
Teacher: How do you understand the words of the poet "Let the soul remain pure"?
(guys answer)
In order to get closer to the ideal, one last component is needed.
These are "thoughts". (Adds the word "thoughts" to A.P. Chekhov's statement.)
The wealth of human thought is inexhaustible. One of the impressive forms of their expression are aphorisms, pearls of human wisdom cast in a short language form. As the ancient Greek poet Theocritus said:
The wisest have a plentiful supply of sayings
Everyone can find a lot of useful tips for life in it.
Reader (3):“Every person can and should use everything that the cumulative mind of mankind has developed, but at the same time, he can and should check with his mind the data developed by all mankind” (L.N. Tolstoy)
Reader (1):“The courage of the mind consists in ... recognizing and knowing ... the world around and the forces acting in it: ideas and facts, experience of the past and present ...
Honesty of mind is... to have the courage to think for yourself. To be a man "(R. Rolland)
Teacher: So we built with the help of A.P. Chekhov's model of the perfect man. (Is reading)
