Bread for the dog is a problem raised in the story. Bread for dogs

"Man" and "subhuman" ... Where is the line between them? What is she? Where does it take place? The questions are controversial and complex. One thing can be said - the line is thin, very thin, and everyone has their own. It is enough for one to experience envy, jealousy, and he loses his human image, for another - fear, hunger, poverty, or, conversely, plunge into luxury, for the third - an animal grin from birth. Lots of tests. Hence the great number of destinies. Some do not endure, give up and die, physically or spiritually - there is no difference, moreover, the death of the "soul" is much more terrible. Others, too, seem to bend, but tirelessly continue to search for a saving straw, and find it, because it cannot be missing ... Tendryakov's story "Bread for the Dog" is just about this finest line ...

Hungry post-revolutionary Russia

post-revolutionary Russia. What words to describe it? With what colors to depict the hunger and horror that reigned everywhere? Only black! But black without white does not make sense, however, as well as white without black. Therefore, Vladimir Tendryakov, in his work “Bread for a Dog” (a brief summary follows), of course, uses all shades of light along with gloomy tones. There are not as many of them as we would like, but they are, which means that there is hope, and love, and justice ...

"Bread for the dog": a summary of the work of V. Tendryakov

It was 1933. Summer. Small Russian city. The smoky station building. Not far from it is a peeled fence, behind it is a through birch square, and in it, on the dusty grass, are those who have long been considered no people. Indeed, they had documents, worn out, but proving their identity: last name, first name, patronymic, year of birth, for which they were convicted and where they were sent ... But this no longer bothered anyone, just like what they eat, drink, where they live, who they work. They are dispossessed peasants, dispossessed, enemies of the people, or, as they were called, "kurkuli", which means that they fell out of the ranks of the people.

However, they did not look and behave like people either. Exhausted by hunger and disease, some looked like dark-skinned skeletons with huge empty eyes, others looked like “elephants” swollen with dropsy, their skin blue from tension. Some gnawed at the bark on the trees or ate garbage from the ground, others lay in the dust, moaning, staring blankly at the sky. But most of all, those who had already left the world of the living looked like people. They lay quietly, peacefully. However, among them were "rebels". With a farewell sigh, real madness seized them - they got up, tried to shout out murderous poisonous curses, but only wheezing flew out, foam bubbled, and they calmed down, forever ... The story "Bread for the Dog" does not end in this episode.

The main character of the story

Adults tried to bypass this gloomy place. The kids didn’t come in either, they were afraid, but curiosity, some kind of “animal”, took over, and they climbed onto the fence and watched what was happening from there. They were choked with fear, disgust, they were exhausted from hidden, and therefore unbearably sharp, piercing pity, but continued to look with all their eyes. “What will grow out of such children? Admiring death ... "- said the head of the station, wandering on duty along the platform.

Among those children was a ten-year-old boy, Volodya Tenkov, the protagonist of the story "Bread for the Dog." The analysis of the work will help to better understand the theme, idea and problems of the work. The story unfolds like a series of memories, therefore, the story is told in the first person - on behalf of this boy. Already an adult, he was surprised for quite a long time and could not understand how, being a child, vulnerable, impressionable, with a fragile psyche, he did not get sick and not from that darkness and horror. But then he recalls that by that time his soul had already been “blinded”. A person gets used to everything sooner or later, puts up with it. So his soul is used to seeing pain, suffering, public humiliation of "tidy" people from hunger alone. However, are you used to it? No, rather, it has developed its own “protective layer”. She suffered and suffered endlessly, but she continued to breathe deeply, empathize and look for saving ways out of hopelessness.

It's embarrassing to be full

At first, Volodya tried to honestly share his breakfast - four pieces of bread - with classmates. But there were too many willing and "suffering" - hands were reaching out from all sides. The bread fell, and several legs of impatience, without any malicious intent, walked over the pieces and crushed them ...

Volodya was tormented, but at the same time, one more thought did not let him go crazy: those who died in the birch square were enemies. And what do they do with the enemies? They are destroyed, otherwise - nothing, because the defeated enemy is still one enemy: he will never forgive and will definitely sharpen the knife behind his back. On the other hand, can one be considered an enemy who gnaws at the bark in a birch forest? Or are those old people and children who died of starvation in dispossessed villages the enemies? He found his answer to these questions: he cannot “absorb” his “food” alone, share with someone - it is simply necessary, even if he or she is an enemy ... “Bread for the dog”, a summary of which is given in This article is a story about which are terrible, but without which it dies.

Who is the hungriest?

He stealthily did not eat up what was served to him for lunch or dinner, and honestly saved "thieves'" products he took to the one who, in his opinion, was the most-hungry. Such a person was both easy and difficult to find. Everyone in the village was hungry, but who was the most? How to find out? You can't go wrong...

He gave his "pocket burning" remnants of dinner to one "uncle" with a pale, swollen face, and made sure to do this every day. He managed to “make happy” one, but over time, the number of beggars began to grow inexorably. Every day a great multitude of them gathered near his house. They stood all day and tirelessly waited for him to come out. What to do? Feed more than two - not enough strength. But my father said that it is impossible to scoop out the sea with a teaspoon ... And then a breakdown happened to him, or, as he himself said, a “cure”. In an instant, his eyes darkened, and from somewhere in the bowels of his soul burst out uncontrollable sobs and a cry: “Go away! Go away! Reptiles! Bastards! Bloodsuckers! And they silently turned around and left. Forever and ever.

V. Tendryakov: "Bread for the dog", or "Food for the conscience"

Yes, he was cured of boyish pity, but what to do with his conscience? It is impossible to get rid of it, otherwise - death. He is full, very full, one might say, to satiety. Probably, five of these products would have been enough to escape from a fierce starvation. He did not save them, he simply ate their lives. These thoughts did not allow him to eat or sleep. But one day a dog came up to their porch. She had empty, “unwashed” eyes ... And suddenly Volodya was bathed in steam: here it is - the hungriest and most unfortunate creature in the world! And he began to feed her: every day he took out a piece of bread for her. She grabbed him on the fly, but never once approached the boy. The most devoted person on earth has never trusted him. But Volodya did not need this gratitude. He fed not a skinned dog, but his conscience. It cannot be said that the conscience liked the proposed “food” so much. She "fell ill" from time to time, but without the threat of a fatal outcome. The story doesn't end there. V. Tendryakov ("Bread for the Dog") included another episode, quite small, but very effective, one might say, from the author's emotional "total".

That same month, the same stationmaster walking along the platform committed suicide. “Human” and “subhuman”: he crossed this fine line and could not stand it ... How did he not guess to find some bald dog for himself to tear off something from himself and share it every day? Here is the truth!

Once again, I would like to remind you that the article is devoted to the story of V. Tendryakov "Bread for the dog." The summary cannot fully reflect that emotional anguish in the soul of a little boy, describe his fear and at the same time a silent protest against the existing world order. Therefore, reading the work in its entirety is simply necessary.

MORAL PROBLEMS OF THE STORY

VLADIMIR TENDRYAKOV

"BREAD FOR THE DOG"

MOU secondary school No. 43 of the city of Tomsk,

How do Volodya's father and the head of the station behave in such a situation? What brings these people together? The head of the station, unable to bear the pangs of conscience, shot himself. He did not find himself a "shabby dog" to feed. Volodya's father cannot look into his son's eyes: he, the hero of the revolution, who fought for the happiness of all people, cannot help his suffering son, he tries to calm his conscience with empty, unnecessary phrases.

Tendryakov, with his story, puts his readers in front of a dilemma: which world to choose: the world of the soul with its inevitable suffering or the world of well-being, nothing "ignorance". Everyone faces this choice sooner or later.

After reading the story, the question involuntarily arises: Do today's readers need such terrible works? Yes, they are needed. This is our history, we must not forget about it, so as not to repeat the mistakes we have made. The story excites the human conscience with its sharpness, the undisguised truth of reality. This is a truly humane work, filled with pain for the country and the person, the desire to make people better.

said: "... literature lessons are not hours of entertainment and relaxation ... these hours should be hours of inspiration, emotional upsurge ... moral insight ..."

Lesson Objectives:

  • to reveal the moral lessons that the main character of the story V.F. Tendryakov "Bread for the dog";
  • develop the ability to analyze a work of art;
  • identify the motives of the main character of the story;

Lesson form: situational analysis lesson;

During the classes

I. Intrigue.

Reading the parable "Conscience".

Once, Conscience was lying on the road, trampled under the feet of pedestrians who had no time to despise it. They hurried to overtake each other in order, willy-nilly, to catch a piece on the fly, to deceive their neighbor in their own way, to fool them in an empty way, to slander someone in black, to flatter in time, to play a good role for show.

The conscience suffered to its fullest. Somehow, for a day or two, she would find a master for herself: first an official, then a merchant, but they, unable to withstand her trial, simply threw the poor thing away somewhere in a new way. “Do it my way, Lord,” she implored involuntarily in her hearts, “find me a little child, dissolve me in it, and all untruths and violence will disappear forever.”

Why did Conscience pray and ask the Lord to dissolve it in a small child?

II. Vocabulary work.

What story did you read in the last lesson? The title is often the key to revealing the content. The name has not so much a direct meaning as a figurative one. The author, already an adult, does not easily recall his childhood years, but also analyzes his impressions of those years. It is his conscience that does not give him the opportunity to forget those distant years.

What is conscience?

Independent work with explanatory dictionaries.

III. Determine the main theme of the story.

Choose from the proposed wordings of the topics the one that seems to you the most accurate.

A) The Hungry Year of 1933.

B) Inhuman treatment of exiles.

D) The image of a certain era in the life of our state.

(All these themes are reflected in the story to one degree or another).

IV. Analysis of the story by V.F. Tendryakov "Bread for the dog".

1) Selective reading(p. 105).

Why does the story begin with such a terrible description of hungry exiles who “did not reach the place”, “dropped out of the number of people”?

(A terrible description conveys a terrible impression on those who have not lost their conscience.)

Work with explanatory dictionaries (the meaning of the words “kulak”, “dispossessed”, “dispossessed”).

2) The situation of choice. Speeches of the student-“psychologist”.

Each of us is constantly in a situation of choice, and a sense of conscience will always be a kind of measure of human morality. Psychologists say that there are three “Selves” in every person: 1- how people see you, 2- how you imagine yourself, 3- how you really are. We need to understand the reasons for our own actions.

3) Analysis of the episode with spilled milk. Commented reading(p. 107).

Why Volodya was more than shocked by the episode with spilled milk?

(A well-bred woman scoops milk from a dirty horse trail with a “gnawed wooden spoon” and eats it. She is not “exiled”, “not dispossessed”. This hopelessness, grief, resignation to fate shook the child’s heart).

4) Analysis of the episode “the desire to feed classmates”. Role Reading(pp. 107-108).

Did Volodya be spoiled by the fact that he was “full”?

Why did he sincerely want to feed the children at first, and then “flatly refused to take breakfast to school”?

Why did classmates react without gratitude to Volodya's attempt to feed them?

(Volodya, being “well-fed”, did not become a greedy and callous person, on the contrary, the voice of conscience sounded in his soul, the child began to grow up. Among classmates, Volodya was a stranger, primarily because he was “well-fed”, and in a proletarian country in general to be full.” Volodya understood the alienation of his comrades and did not take breakfast to school).

Why did Volodya suffer from remorse when he sat down at the table, while his brother ate calmly?

(Volodya enters the age when the inner “I” awakens, the voice of conscience. The brother has not yet grown up to this).

How did Volodya try to help the hungry? Why did Volodya, shouting, “in a strange, wild voice,” drive the hungry people away from home?

(Not only from fear, but also from the consciousness of his absolute impotence).

What to do? How to “feed” your hungry, unsatisfied conscience?

(There was one, “the most, the most hungry”, an unfortunate shabby dog ​​who forever lost confidence in a person.).

Volodya saved the dog from starvation. What did she save him from?

(She saved him morally: she gave him the opportunity to take care of someone, to calm the anxieties of his conscience. Feeding the dog, he "feeded" his conscience).

5) Determination of the semantic load of the character of the head of the station.

What role does the station master play in the story? Why did he, walking along the square, “look at his feet and be silent”? Is it possible to understand what thoughts tormented this person? How can you explain his suicide?

(In the story, not only Volodya is tormented by “I”, his conscience. This second “I” lives in many people. The boss cannot, out of shame for everything that happens, raise his eyes to people dying of hunger. Here is pity for them, and a sense of his own guilt and responsibility, hidden, conscious dissatisfaction with what is happening in the country).

What did he say to the guys watching people in the park (p. 107)?

Work with explanatory dictionaries (the word "cruelty").

(This man shot himself from remorse of conscience, from his own impotence, not having guessed to find himself an “unfortunate little dog.” But the little dog would hardly have helped: we are not a child, but an adult).

6) Analysis of the personal conflict of Volodya's father(p. 113).

Why, at the end of the story, Volodya's father becomes like the head of the station?

(Volodin’s father, who fought for the revolution, had to condemn his act from the son’s point of view: the son gave bread to dispossessed people declared enemies of the Soviet regime. Instead, the father tries to understand his son’s actions. “The country does not have enough for everyone. With a teaspoon you can't drain the sea, son." The father doubts the rightness of the revolution. He fought for everyone to be happy 1, so that there would be no hungry, no beggars. So that everyone could work. And now he sees that people who worked on the land are driven from this land, that people are starving and no one cares about them, and he can't do anything.

1 Work with explanatory dictionaries (the word “happiness”).

Why does the country lack? Who ha this should answer?

(Gradually, the behavior of the father becomes similar to the behavior of the head of the station. What lies ahead for him? Maybe affection for his son will save him from a terrible ending).

7) Documentary reference(p. 117). Speech by a student-"historian".

How does the song “Don’t sleep, get up, curly” sounding at the beginning of the story fit in with the documentary reference?

Why is there a postcard “Parade of athletes” and a photograph of “children dying of hunger” next to it?

(The country also has two “Selves”. One is the external “I” of cheerful songs, beautiful slogans, the other is the inner, dramatic, but real - the true “I” of unresolved problems, social injustice, dying of hunger, the head of the station who shot himself in the throes of conscience, internal contradictions of the father and that strange power that ordered the export of grain abroad in a famine, terrible year).

(Be responsible for your actions, actions, be attentive to any living being, especially to a person; talk about responsibility to people and to yourself, to your conscience).

Compilation of a syncwine with the words "happiness" and "conscience".

D\z: write a mini-essay on the topic: “My view on the problem of famine in the 30s of the 20th century.”

“The Difficult Process of Awakening the Conscience” (V.F. Tendryakov “Bread for the Dog”) We analyze the meanings of the story We analyze the meanings of the story “Bread for the Dog” and analyze the process of awakening the conscience of the heroes of the story. Try to formulate the main theme of the story by V.F. Tendryakov. Try to formulate the main theme of the story by V.F. Tendryakov. If it is difficult, choose from the proposed formulations the one that seems to you the most accurate: “Hungry 1933”, “Inhuman treatment of the exiles”, “Panguments of human conscience”, “Depiction of a certain era in the life of our state”. Terrible in terms of the power of tragedy, the description conveys the terrible impression that “those who were no longer considered people” made on those around them, in any case, on those of them who did not lose their conscience, or on those who only had it. The first included, for example, the head of the station, the second - the small (ten-year-old) hero of the story, Volodya Tenkov. Such a spectacle contributes to the awakening of conscience, excites it (such as Vanya Dushnoy, while not counting). The main semantic load in this episode is carried by the following words and expressions: “near the smoked-out, state-owned ocher-painted station building” (what is the meaning of the word “state”?); "behind the peeled fence"; “those who were no longer considered human”; "in the bowels of a dirty, lousy rag"; "muddy document"; “outwardly they did not look like people”; "skeletons"; "tightly bloated"; "nibbled the bark"; "smoldering, not human ... eyes"; “exuding a sour stench from his half-decayed rags”; “someone blurred on the ground like a jelly”; “Someone stuffed a station trash can from the ground into their mouths”; “Most of all, those who had already died were like people.” Terrible in terms of the power of tragedy, the description conveys the terrible impression that “those who were no longer considered people” made on those around them, in any case, on those of them who did not lose their conscience, or on those who only had it. The first included, for example, the head of the station, the second - the small (ten-year-old) hero of the story, Volodya Tenkov.

As the author explains that his hero (apparently he himself in childhood or someone very similar to him), "an impressionable, vulnerable boy", "did not get sick, did not go crazy" after How did you first see a man dying of hunger? (Find in the text, read out.)

Why was Volodya more than death shocked by the episode with spilled milk?

Did Volodya get spoiled by the fact that he “was full”? Why did classmates react without gratitude to Volodya's attempt to feed them? Did Volodya get spoiled by the fact that he “was full”? Why did classmates react without gratitude to Volodya's attempt to feed them? Why did Volodya suffer from remorse when he sat down at the table, while his brother ate calmly? How did Volodya try to help the hungry? Why did Volodya, shouting, "in a strange, wild voice," drive the hungry people away from home? Why did Volodya, shouting, "in a strange, wild voice," drive the hungry people away from home? What struck Volodya most of all in his father's words about the dog and in the dog itself? How do you understand the meaning of the phrase: “I did not feed a shabby dog ​​with pieces of bread, but my conscience”? Volodya Tenkov, the hero of the story by V.F. Tendryakov, enters the age when the inner “I”, the voice of conscience, awakens. His brother hasn't grown up yet. Volodya condescendingly remarks: “My brother was three years younger, at his seven years old he knew how to worry only about himself ...” ".

  • Volodya Tenkov, the hero of the story by V.F. Tendryakov, enters the age when the inner “I”, the voice of conscience, awakens. His brother hasn't grown up yet. Volodya condescendingly remarks: “My brother was three years younger, at his seven years old he knew how to worry only about himself ...” ".
  • The terrible spectacle of starvation, the starvation of the exiles did not drive him crazy, because he saw an even more painful picture: a decent, well-mannered, neatly dressed woman scoops milk from a dirty horse trail with a “gnawed wooden spoon” and eats, crying, kneeling down, "as in front of a daughter's grave."
Volodya, being “full”, did not become a greedy, callous person, on the contrary, the voice of conscience sounded in his soul, the child began to grow up. He wanted to feed his comrades, share his bread with them (this theme is constantly heard in the story), and they willingly took from him, but just as willingly informed the teacher about him: Volodya was a stranger, primarily because he was “well-fed”, and in a proletarian country, as the author notes, in general it is “shameful to be full” (this was instilled in children), and especially in that terrible famine year. Volodya understood the hidden and open alienation of his comrades and did not take breakfast to school: he realized that it was impossible to stand out in this respect. But, tormented by the pangs of conscience of the well-fed in front of the hungry, unable to drown out his inner voice, he is looking for the hungriest, the most unfortunate. Volodya suddenly discovers for himself “not with reason, but with intuition” truths that he had not thought about before and that he “did not feel”. How can you help one and not notice the others? Isn't it dangerous to extend a helping hand openly?

Isn't it dangerous to extend a helping hand openly? V.F. Tendryakov writes: V.F. Tendryakov writes: “Of course, I did not think then, not in the same words as I write now, thirty-six years later. Most likely, I did not think at all then, but felt it keenly, like an animal intuitively guessing future complications. Not by reason, but by instinct then I realized: a noble intention - break your daily bread in half, share with your neighbor - can be done only secretly from others, only thieves!
  • A real paradox: people steal for themselves, Volodya "thievishly" does not finish what his mother gave him, "thievishly" hides bread in his pocket and goes out "on the thieves' business" - "on a secret hunt for the very, very hungry."
Why does a boy who started a good deed yell so terribly at those he wanted to feed? Not only from fear, but also, I think, from the consciousness of his absolute impotence. Unfortunately, the bitter phrase of the father (“You can’t scoop out the sea with a teaspoon”) turned out to be true too.

  • But Volodya still could not remain indifferent. What to do? How to “feed” your hungry, unsatisfied conscience? Finally, that “very, very hungry” that Volodya had been looking for for so long was found - an unfortunate shabby dog, which even Volodya’s father did not regret (he felt sorry for her owner), a dog that forever lost confidence in a person. She has "empty eyes that do not let in herself" without any expression, even without fear. Yes, Volodya probably saved the dog from starvation, but she also saved him morally: she gave him the opportunity to take care of someone, to calm, as far as possible, the torments of conscience, to do the good that he, the boy, could do . Feeding the dog, he "feeded" his conscience.
What role does the station master play in the story? Why did he usually, walking along the square, “look at his feet and be silent”, did not answer Vanya Dushny’s questions, but “passed by without raising his head”? Is it possible to understand what thoughts tormented this person? How can you explain his suicide? What role does the station master play in the story?

Is it possible to understand what thoughts tormented this person? How can you explain his suicide? In the story, not only Volodya is tormented by his inner self, his conscience. This second "I" lives in many people. Here is the head of the station, seemingly conscientious, executive Soviet employee “in a brand new uniform cap with a flashy red top”, cannot, out of shame for everything that happens, raise his eyes to the people dying of hunger. Here is pity for them, and a sense of his own guilt and responsibility (he, the head of the station, cannot do anything for people dying near the territory under his jurisdiction), and hidden, perhaps vague, or perhaps conscious dissatisfaction with the fact what is happening in the country. His silence is a certain form of protest. In the story, not only Volodya is tormented by his inner self, his conscience. This second "I" lives in many people.

Watching the curious, albeit frightened boys, the head of the station once “spoke either to us, or to himself, or to the indifferent sky in general”: “What will grow out of such children? They love death. What kind of world will live after us? What kind of world?..” This man shot himself from remorse of conscience, from his own impotence, not having guessed to find himself a “poor little dog” that he could feed, tearing bread from himself. We dare to note that it is unlikely that even a dog would have helped: we are not a child, but an adult, serious person experiencing a deep inner tragedy.

Gradually, the behavior of Volodya's father becomes similar to the behavior of the head of the station: “In silence, my father also passed by a hungry rookery. He didn't say a single word of reproach to me." Outwardly, he becomes similar to the head of the station: the same "red eyelids", the same "dark face". Mental anguish, a sense of shame, one's own helplessness - that's what left an imprint on the appearance of this person. What lies ahead for him? There is no answer to this question in the story. Maybe affection for his son will save his father from a terrible ending? We answer the main question of the lesson: why were people not considered people?
  • We answer the main question of the lesson: why were people not considered people?
  • Not considering people as people is a favorite technique of extremist sects and totalitarian regimes, part of whose efforts are aimed at finding and destroying the internal and external enemy. This is the easiest way to turn off what, in principle, is in every person - conscience. Conscience is exactly what wakes up in the main character; what makes him try again and again to help those who are ill. But “you can’t scoop out the sea with a spoon”, and the child, after unsuccessful attempts to feed the dying of hunger and just hungry, saves the dying dog. And this saves himself. Because the preservation of conscience is the only way to remain a man himself.

    Homework

As the topic of this lesson, I offer you the words of our wonderful poet A.S. Pushkin from the tragedy "Boris Godunov". Write down the topic of the lesson, get ready to read this statement and explain how you understand its meaning?

(student answers)

Is the meaning of this statement immediately revealed? Why?

(complex phrase, obsolete words)

What words or word did not cause difficulties? (Most likely, the word “conscience.” Why?). Give it an interpretation.

But what is the definition of this word gives an explanatory dictionary (slide).

(conscience- a sense of moral responsibility for one's behavior before the surrounding people, society. People with a clear conscience. Remorse. Live according to your conscience.)

Very often we hear and use the expression "to live according to conscience", what does it mean?

(answers of students in the cluster)

Why do you think I started our lesson like this? (with a conversation about conscience).

CHILDREN YOURSELF CAN LEAD TO THIS CONNECTION…

At home, you read V. Tendryakov's story "Bread for the Dog." How can the content of this story be related to the topic of our lesson? (student answers)

Then what are the goals and objectives of our lesson?

(setting goals and objectives)

Do you know this writer and his works? Then I offer you a short digression into the biography of this person (student's message and presentation).

You and I have just heard that the fundamental concept in the ethical code of a writer is conscience. This can be seen even from the titles of his works: "Payback", "Spring Changelings", "Bread for the Dog".

You read the story "Bread for the Dog" at home. What is this story about? How do you define its theme?

(Options are given on the slides: “Hungry 1933”, “Inhuman treatment of the exiles”, “Torments of human conscience”, “Image of a certain era in the life of our state.”)

Justify your choice. (student answers)

Of course, all these topics are somehow comprehended in this work, but still we will try to highlight the main one, without which the story would lose its “core”.

To do this, you will now work in groups. Each group has its own task.

We have a group of historians, literary critics, linguists, and psychologists. On the tables you have a memo "How to work in a group." Don't forget to read it before you get started. Remember that your work will be judged both within the group and by each group. Think about who from the group will be responsible, the rest can complement a friend.

(Presentation of the result of work in groups. At this time, students from other groups can ask clarifying questions to each group, helping to assess the quality of their work)

The life of every person is inextricably linked with the life of his country. Therefore, we are the first to invite expert historians who will help us plunge into this era.

We have decided on the historical era. What was the skill of the writer, who managed not to leave his readers indifferent? Literary experts will tell you about it.

Not only his figurative thinking, but also a reverent attitude to word. We invite expert linguists with their observations.

Today we are working with a difficult concept - "conscience". This is where we need expert help.

Psychologists who will help to understand the nature of human actions.

(Do not forget to rate the work of the groups)

We have listened to all the experts and now we will return to the topics that were raised at the beginning of the lesson.

Can you now single out the pivotal one from them? (The pangs of human conscience). Who did working in a group change their minds? What influenced your opinion?

In the 6th grade, we read Nikolai Petrovich Wagner's fairy tale "Gingerbread Dad". The author uses an interesting metaphor for the visual perception of conscience. Maybe someone remembers which one? (if not, then remind: “Every person, small and big, has a pretty tiny girl in a white dress in her heart. But only this dress is not always clean. If someone does a good, good deed, then the little girl starts jumping for joy and softly singing merry songs. But if a man does something bad, the little girl will cry bitterly. And how can she not cry when every bad deed leaves a black spot on her little white dress, as if on him splashed with mud. Who likes to walk around in a dress with stains?"). Today, can you explain why this author came up with such a metaphor? What metaphor would you come up with?

    At home, using the cluster you have compiled, draw what kind of conscience do you imagine? Give your description in writing. Maybe someone will write instructions on how to use it.

    And the second task: find and write down phraseological units with the word "conscience".

    If necessary, ask for an explanation from the senior student, dictionaries.

Inspiration, patience, good luck.

Tasks for groups

(Groups perform in the order in which the tasks are written)

Experts - historians

    What do you know about this era from the text of the work?

    Look at the illustrations on page 115 in the textbook (“Athletes Parade” and “Starving Children”). What is the purpose of putting these photos on one page? What is your relationship with them?

    What episodes do you consider significant for creating the appearance of the era?

    Why does VF Tendryakov raise this topic in his work? What is its meaning? Are such works necessary in literature?

Experts - literary critics

    The story begins with a terrible description of the exiles, "kurkuli". Find their description, what literary device does the author use for this description and why?

    Follow the text, what detail of the portrait does the author pay attention to when creating images of his characters? What epithets does he use? How do you understand them? What are they used for ?

    See the end of this story. How do you understand the expression “I did not feed a shabby dog ​​with pieces of bread, but my conscience”? What is the name of the artistic technique used by the author? What is its role?

Reference material

Metaphor- a type of trail, a hidden figurative comparison, likening one object, a phenomenon to another (for example: a fire of a red mountain ash).

Epithet- figurative, artistic definition.

Antithesis- opposition, opposition.

Oxymoron- a stylistic turn that combines semantically contrasting words that create an unexpected semantic unity, for example: a living corpse, wretched luxury.

(Remember the expression “The eyes are the window to the soul.”)

He (kurkul) fell out from among the people. (p.104)

On duty, the head of the station wandered along the platform in a brand new uniform cap with a flashy red top. He looked down at his feet and remained silent.(page 105)

I steal away thieves did not finish what my mother put in front of me. I thief uploaded honestly saved three pieces of bread into my pockets ... In broad daylight, I went out to thieves' business- on the secret hunt for, the hungriest. (Think about why a good deed is "performed" by thieves?) pp.108-109

Out of annoyance - and hunger too - I ate bread on the spot. He was unexpectedly very tasty and ... poisonous.

    How did you understand the meaning of the expression "the heart is pissed off"? Which character can you say that about?

    What is the role of the proverb in this work: “You cannot scoop up the sea with a teaspoon”? (Who says it, with what intonation, what does the hero feel at the same time?)

Experts - psychologists

    Reread the passage on p. 108 (slide with text on the board). Can it be called a dialogue? Who are its members? Why is this fragment included by the author in the work? How does it relate to the section we are studying?

    Different qualities can manifest themselves in different people in different ways. Draw on a straight line (on an A3 sheet) how such a quality manifests itself as conscience, for the heroes of V.F.Tendryakov (from the smallest manifestation of this quality to the greatest manifestation). Where on this straight line will the main character Volodya Tenkov, his father, the head of the station, Volodya's brother, policeman Vanya Dushnoy, a woman nicknamed Belch, be located? Justify your opinion.

    What meaning does the author put into the phrase (p. 115): “I did not feed a shabby dog ​​with pieces of bread, but my conscience. I will not say that my conscience liked this suspicious food so much. My conscience continued to inflame, but not so much, not life-threatening”?

    Your generalization, what is “conscience” and what role did the story of V. Tendryakov play in our understanding of it?

Vladimir Fedorovich Tendryakov

Born in the family of a rural employee. The next morning after school graduation, he went to the front. He did not have a chance to fight for long, but at the most difficult time of the war. In 1943 he was seriously wounded and demobilized.

Thus began "civilian life." Vladimir Fedorovich went to teach military affairs at school. Then he began to work as a secretary of the Komsomol organization.

After the war, Tendryakov began working as a journalist - correspondent for the Ogonyok magazine. He wrote essays about the village. Prose collections devoted to social and ethical problems were published annually. At the center of his prose is a man who, through his own fault or due to tragic circumstances, has been torn out of the normal course of life.

The main themes of the writer's work are life in the countryside in the 1940s and 1950s, school and teenagers, human spirituality. The fundamental concept in his code of ethics is conscience. In the story "Three bags of weed wheat" clearly expresses the most important ideological motive for Tendryakov: there is no such good, such a "high" goal, for which it would be worth neglecting a separate specific person.

The works of VF Tendryakov almost always caused heated debate. He posed questions to readers in which the country's economy, its ideology and morality are interconnected. The writer does not offer unambiguous answers. Many of his things today sound extremely topical.
