Essays for the collection “The main state exam of the OGE - 2018. Tsybulko. 36 options"

An essay on the topic “The boy was tall and thin, he held exorbitantly long hands deep in his pockets” (Option 1)

15.1 Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous linguist Valentina Danilovna Chernyak: “Emotional-evaluative words include words that are associated with the expression of any feeling, attitude towards a person, assessment of the subject of speech, situations and communication”

The well-known linguist V. D. Chernyak writes about emotional-evaluative words, that they are associated with feelings, attitudes or evaluation. I think words like this help us understand the characters and author's intention. For example, in the text of R.P. Pogodin, many such words are used. Let's say in sentence 13 Mishka says about Sim that he "got out". This word shows us Mishka's contemptuous attitude towards another hero. In sentence 16, he addresses Sima not by name, but very rudely: with the personal pronoun "you." Further, he calls Sima a sycophant, says that he is sucking up - this also shows us his rudeness and contempt.

Emotional and expressive words do literary work more expressive.

15.2 Write an essay-reasoning. Explain how you understand the meaning of sentences 55-56 of the text: “The bear got up and began to take pictures from the guys. He collected all the sheets, put them back into the album"

In an excerpt from the work of R. P. Pogodin, we read about the relationship of children from the same yard. They did not like one of the boys, so they suspected him of various nasty things: for example, that he was a sycophant. Without understanding, they take away the album from Sima and sort out the pictures. Only after some time their "leader" Mishka suddenly realizes that the album was intended for an old teacher who no longer works at the school (this is stated in sentence 52). And from sentences 53 and 54 it becomes clear why Sima wanted to thank her: she helped him study during a serious illness. When Misha realized this, he felt ashamed, and he began to take pictures from the guys, put them back into the album. From sentences 67-75, we understand that the guys gave Maria Alekseevna the drawings that Sima made for her.

These words mean that Misha knew how to admit his mistakes and correct them.

15.3 How do you understand the meaning of the word CONSCIENCE? Formulate and comment on your definition. Write an essay-reasoning on the topic: “What is conscience?”, Taking the definition you gave as a thesis.

Conscience is the ability of a person to realize his wrong; it keeps from a bad deed or reproaches if a person has already done wrong.

In an excerpt from the work of R.P. Pogodin, Mishka took Sima's album with the drawings that he made for the teacher, but then Mishka realized that he was wrong. His conscience reproached him, and he decided to correct his mistake. I took the drawings from my friends and nevertheless handed them over to the teacher.

Both in life and in literature, we often encounter situations in which a person experiences pangs of conscience. For example, in the novel by A. S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" main character severely judges himself for cowardice. Fearing public condemnation, Eugene went to a duel with a friend and accidentally killed him. Onegin punishes himself - sends him into exile.

Each person must act in accordance with the dictates of his conscience.

An essay on the topic “Quiet bird chirping sounded joyfully in spring ...” (Option 2)

15.1 Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous linguist Ditmar Elyashevich Rosenthal: "Our grammatical system provides many options for expressing the same thought."

The grammatical system of the Russian language offers the speaker various syntactic structures for expressing the same thing. They are synonymous.

For example, sentences with adverbial phrases and subordinate clauses are synonymous. True, it is not always possible to replace subordinate clause participial turnover, but if possible, the text becomes livelier and more energetic. This is probably why such constructions are preferred by V. O. Bogomolov, with an excerpt from whose book I met. This text contains a lot participle turns and singular adverbs. For example, in sentences 3, 5, 7, 12, 13 we meet such constructions.

However, sometimes the writer prefers subordinate clauses: in sentences 21, 23 and some others. This makes the text more expressive and beautiful.

15.2 Write an essay-reasoning. Explain how you understand the meaning of the last sentences of the text: “There is no plan,” Vitka said sullenly with his characteristic directness. - And combat support too. This is irresponsibility and my oversight. I'm responsible for it."

The hero-narrator, after heavy fighting, forgot that he was ordered to set up guards and sketch out a plan of action in case of an enemy attack (sentence 21). This was indeed necessary, but the narrator neglected this, although unintentionally, and because of his forgetfulness, his friend, battalion commander Vitka, suffered. But the commander took all the blame on himself, realizing that the brigade commander could punish him and, in any case, would scold him. The words “This is irresponsibility and my oversight. I am responsible for this," they say that the battalion commander fair man, unable to let a friend down, in addition, he is ready to be responsible for everything that happens in his unit. The narrator was confident in his friend, this is stated in sentence 24, he was very ashamed that his friend would suffer through his fault.

Sometimes friends have to correct each other's mistakes.

15.3 How do you understand the meaning of the word CONSCIENCE? Formulate and comment on your definition. Write an essay-reasoning on the topic: “What is conscience?”, Taking the definition you gave as a thesis.

Conscience is a feature of a person's personality. He who has a conscience will try in no case to commit bad deed. If he accidentally does something bad, then his conscience torments him and forces him to correct the harm done.

In an excerpt from the work of V. O. Bogomolov, the hero-narrator forgot to fulfill the order of his friend, the battalion commander, and because of this, the brigade commander scolded Vitka. But the friend did not betray his friend, but took the blame upon himself. The narrator was very ashamed of this.

We often find examples of pangs of conscience in literature and life. For example, in the novel by F. M. Dostoevsky "The Brothers Karamazov" one boy, Ilyusha, succumbed to the persuasion of the evil student Rakitin, treated a stray dog ​​with a piece of bread with a pin. The dog yelped and ran away. The boy thought that the Beetle had died, and this tormented him terribly, he even became seriously ill. But, fortunately, it turned out later that the dog survived.

Conscience is essential for every person.

An essay on the topic “At the same time as the newcomer Panteleev, a decrepit old woman appeared at the school called the Republic of ShKID, the director’s mother ...” (OPTION 3)

15.1 Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous linguist Dmitry Nikolaevich Shmelev: "The figurative meaning of the word enriches our language, develops and transforms it."

In the Russian language, along with single-valued words, there are a huge number of such words that have not one, but two or more meanings. If you look into Dictionary, then we can see that there are even more such words than single-valued ones. Of course, this is no coincidence. Polysemantic words give expressiveness to speech. On use different values one ambiguous word is based on such a joke as a pun; the figurative meaning of the word allows you to make your statement brighter.

For example, in the text of L. Panteleev in sentence 11 we read about how a pile of cakes “melted”. This word is used in figurative meaning“decreased in size”, and we can easily imagine this picture: a bunch of cakes are getting smaller, and then they completely disappear.

In sentence 20, the author writes about the boy that his lips “jumped”. This is also a word in a figurative sense. Reading, we immediately understand that the newcomer is almost crying from anger and resentment, to such an extent he is shocked by the act of the guys.

Words in a figurative sense are often used in fiction as a means of expression.

15.2 Write an essay-reasoning. Explain how you understand the meaning of sentences 47-49 of the text: “-You know, Lyonka, you are doing well,” said the Japanese, blushing and sniffing. – Forgive us, please. This is not only for myself, I speak for the whole class.

The action of the book "Republic of SHKID" takes place in a colony. The guys who got there are, of course, not angels. Most of them stole on the street so as not to starve to death, and some of their habits remained at that moment, which is described in the episode with the stolen cakes.

But the newcomer Panteleev was more honest than the others: it seemed dishonorable to him to steal from a blind old woman, so the other colonists beat him, and the director, without understanding, punished Panteleev, because he did not deny his guilt.

The other colonists felt ashamed. That is why the Japanese blushed when he asked for forgiveness from Lyonka. The guys suddenly realized that it is possible to live more honestly than they do: not to offend the weak, not to shift the blame onto others. This is stated in the words of the Japanese (in sentences 40 - 42). But going to the director and confessing is still too much heroic deed for guys who are not accustomed to live honestly. As a result, no one supports the proposal of the Japanese, but still the guys felt guilty and agreed with the apology. Therefore, Lenka reconciled with the guys (sentence 51-52).

15.3 How do you understand the meaning of the word CONSCIENCE?

Conscience is what allows a person to be a person, such a feeling of the rightness or wrongness of an act, a kind of compass. He who has a conscience understands how to act and how not, and he tries to avoid bad deeds even if no one knows about them for sure.

Conscience helps us evaluate ourselves. Unfortunately, not everyone has a conscience. Some believe that there are only problems from her: she reproaches, does not give rest, but a person strives for happiness and peace. And it also happens that someone's conscience has not yet been properly formed. For example, in this text, we just see the guys who did not listen to their conscience, because it rather interfered with them when they lived on the street and were forced to steal and deceive so as not to die of hunger. But Lenka's honest act first shocked them and provoked aggression, and then made them awaken their best feelings. They felt ashamed, which means that they became a little better than they were before.

Conscience makes a person ashamed of others if they do something bad. I met such an example in literature - in the story of E. Nosov "Doll". The hero of this story, Akimych, is ashamed of those people who pass by a mutilated doll and do not pay attention to this disgrace. He buries the doll and says: "You can't bury everything." I think he means that unscrupulous people with the silent connivance of the rest have already committed a lot of evil, it is already difficult to correct it. The author encourages those in whom the conscience is still alive, not to get used to the bad, but to try to correct it.

Conscience is the core of the human soul.

Composition on the topic “I stood in a dark, cold circus stable ...” (Option 5)

15.1. Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous Russian linguist Lyudmila Alekseevna Vvedenskaya: “Any deviations from the norm must be situationally and stylistically justified”

The famous linguist L. A. Vvedenskaya has a saying: “Any deviations from the norm must be situationally and stylistically justified.”

The Russian language is a rich and ideally built system, this language is able to deeply and vividly describe the whole gamut of human emotions. A person who uses the Russian language has a whole arsenal of phraseological units, sayings, an unfair number of synonyms, comparisons, metaphors, etc.

But still, every person has situations, joyful or bitter, when he sometimes lacks generally accepted norms to express his feelings. But in order to avoid general rules language, the speaker or writer must have motives. These motives are explained by a specific situation, according to Vvedenskaya. For example, in the sentence "I stood in a dark, cold stable near my sick friend and wanted to help her with all my heart." The author here is talking about a friend, and then that he wanted to help "her". The text is about the circus elephant Lyalka. Why does the author call her friend and not girlfriend? After all, if "she" means "friend." The fact is that the author is deeply worried about the elephant and is very afraid that she will not recover, because she is very dear to him. The word "friend" takes on a lot more meaning than "girlfriend." Friend is close person, he will support and reassure, he will always be there. IN this case, considering how the author is rooting for Lyalka, one can justify the use of the word "friend".

He turns to Lyalka, who has already recovered. The author speaks to the animal as if it could understand his words. From this exclamation it is clear how sincerely the author is glad that the elephant recovered and ate the food. Here, the treatment of these words to the animal is justified by the genuine joy of the author.

15.2. Explain how you understand the meaning of the text fragment: “We always go ahead with our firecrackers and whistles, we are clowns, clowns and entertainers, and next to us, of course, beautiful, funny elephants”

The story "Elephant Lyalka" tells how the author is very worried about his friend, an elephant named Lyalka. She became seriously ill and refused to eat. The author imagined all night how Lyalka would feel cold, trembling, but the next morning it turned out that she had already recovered. ABOUT good mood the elephant spoke the way she fervently trumpeted. To celebrate, the author came up with the idea “We always go ahead with our firecrackers and whistles, we are clowns, clowns and entertainers, and next to us, of course, are beautiful, funny elephants.” This means that in any case, life, love for this life and work wins. Despite the impending illness, Lyalka won and is ready to continue to please the kids with her performances.

From the sentence “Seeing me and immediately recognizing, Lyalka triumphantly trumpeted,” we see that the elephant is very happy with her friend and wants to show him that the disease has receded and she is ready to get back into line.

The author is so happy with the mood of Lyalka, he is proud that it is they who arrange a holiday for people, that clowns and clowns allow them to plunge into a carefree childhood again. Lyalka fully supports the author in this and seems to say: “Let the amazing cavalcade of joy and happiness of life always dance!”

Kindness is the ability to empathize and put yourself in the place of another person.

There are many definitions of the word "kindness", but I will focus on the fact that it is, first of all, empathy, sympathy. To do good, you need to be able to try on the grief and troubles of others, and then do what you would like to be done to you.

If a person or an animal is in trouble, you need to show your nobility and readiness to help, because it is these traits that characterize a real Human.

Kindness is visible in the behavior of the author of the story "Elephant Lyalka". He wholeheartedly worries about the animal. The author prepared medicine for Lyalka, then did not sleep all night, thinking about her, how bad she was. In the morning, seeing nothing, he ran to her and fed her. The author does good for the elephant, as for a true friend.

What motivates us when we give money for the treatment of a child we do not know, help the infirm old people, give up a seat on the bus, pick up a hungry stray cat? Of course, kindness. It is she who helps us to preserve this world and all the best that is in it.

Composition on the topic “Stood last days June…” (Option 6)

15.1. Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous Russian writer Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov: “Dots are traces on tiptoe of bygone words”

Despite all the richness of the Russian language, every person at some point in his life is faced with a situation where he cannot find the right words; when it seems: here they are, spinning on the tongue, but he is not able to pronounce them, although they are clearly implied in speech.

This phenomenon is confirmed by the statement of the Russian writer V. V. Nabokov: “Ellipsis are traces on tiptoe of bygone words.” If in a conversation we can understand from a person’s behavior that he is not saying something, then in written speech this function is performed by an ellipsis.

In the sentence “Well, Grishuk, get better without me ...” Emelya said goodbye to his grandson, who was seriously ill. “And I’ll go for the deer,” we clearly see how hard it is for the grandfather to leave one sick boy, but he has no other choice. In the dots in this sentence, anxiety, sadness, Emelya's experience for her grandson clearly slips.

It can be said that the ellipsis is used for economy language tools.

Further, after returning from the hunt empty-handed and after the questions of his grandson whether the grandfather shot the deer, Emelya says: “No, Grishuk ... saw him ... Yellow himself, and the muzzle is black. It stands under a bush and pinches leaves ... I took aim ... "

Here, under the dots, one can clearly see the desire of the deed to console Grisha, to explain to him that his hand did not rise to shoot a defenseless deer.

The ellipsis is an understatement that can be easily deciphered from the context and behavior of the character.

15.2. Explain how you understand the meaning of the final text: “Grisha fell asleep and all night he saw a little yellow deer, who walked merrily through the forest with his mother, and the old man slept on the stove and also smiled in his sleep”

The text ends with the sentence “Grisha fell asleep and all night saw a little yellow deer, who was walking merrily through the forest with his mother, and the old man slept on the stove and also smiled in his sleep.”

Emel's grandfather went to the forest, hoping to get a deer, and exactly the one that his Grishutka wanted so much. But seeing how the deer boldly protects her cub, risking her life, he could not shoot, although the animals were a few steps away from him.

To the question of his grandson, he answered: “How he whistled, and he, the calf, like goading into the thicket - they only saw him. He ran away, a sort of shot ... "

Grishutka was glad that the little yellow deer remained alive and listened with pleasure to the stories of the case. Sincere childish joy can be seen in the following sentences: “The old man told the boy for a long time how he searched for the calf in the forest for three days and how he ran away from him. The boy listened and laughed merrily along with the old grandfather.

15.3. How do you understand the meaning of the word GOOD?

Our world rests on kindness, responsiveness, willingness to help others. Kindness is what keeps everything beautiful in our life. If we did not show kindness and compassion to any living being, we would simply disappear from the face of the earth. By showing goodness and accepting it from others, we know that everything is still good in our lives, all is not lost yet.

This text perfectly shows an act of mercy and kindness. The old hunter lost three days, his sick grandson was waiting for him at home. Luck was right in front of the old man. But, seeing how selflessly the deer protects her cub, he took pity on both of them. Instead of returning home with rich booty, he chose to give life to defenseless animals. What is this if not an act of kindness? The old man remembered who his granddaughter miraculously remained alive during the attack of wolves, however, at the cost of his mother's life.

All this is shown in the sentences “Exactly what broke in the chest of old Emelya, and he lowered the gun. The hunter quickly got up and whistled - the small animal disappeared into the bushes with the speed of lightning.

IN real life there are a lot of cases when people, risking their lives and health, saved children in trouble, pulled them out of burning houses, saved them from water, from animal attacks.

All these cases give us hope that we will not be left without a helping hand when we get into trouble.

An essay on the topic “Now Kolka, Vovka and Olya rarely met: holidays ...” (Option 7)

15.1. Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous Russian linguist Irina Borisovna Golub: “In artistic speech, the use of homogeneous members of a sentence is a favorite means of enhancing its expressiveness”

The Russian linguist I. B. Golub has a saying: “In artistic speech the use of homogeneous members of a sentence is a favorite means of enhancing its expressiveness.

It is often not enough for the speaker to express his thoughts using only one word, one synonym or description. In order to give credibility and expressiveness to his speech, a person can use homogeneous members of the sentence, as, for example, in the sentence "But he told me as if he had been and seen, and Olya's eyes opened even wider."

Here, the homogeneous members of the sentence are the words “was” and “saw”. In order to understand the meaning of the sentence, it would be enough to use only one of them, but the use of both of them gave dynamism and brightness to the sentence.

The feelings and anguish of the protagonist can be seen in the sentence "I watched the arrow spin, how it trembled, where it points." It would be enough to say that the boy was looking at the compass, but the words “spinning”, “trembling”, “pointing” convey how dear the boy is to his compass.

Kolka's compassion shows that he does not even expect to get a puppy for a compass. It is enough for him that the dog will live. He is ready to lose what is so dear to him, just to know that the puppy will not be drowned: “I am not for good,” Kolka sighed. Let him live with you if you want. I am for you not to drown.

15.3. How do you understand the meaning of the word GOOD?

The eternal question - what is kindness? Each person will answer it in his own way, based on his own life experience. For some, kindness is a willingness to help those who are weaker and more helpless than yourself, for another, it is the ability to sympathize, to share the pain and grief of your neighbor.

I believe that kindness implies the willingness to make any sacrifices so that an innocent living being does not suffer, no matter if it is a person or an animal. You show kindness if you stop cruelty and injustice, not thinking about what it will turn out for you. On the contrary, you condone evil if you silently observe it, without even participating in it.

Kindness is when a person does not pass by someone else's misfortune or trouble, believing that this does not concern him. In the text, the boy Kolka is ready to donate something dear to him for free in order to save the puppy, which he will not receive: “They decided on that. Vovka dragged the puppy home, Olka ran away, and Kolka went to say goodbye with the compass. I watched the arrow spinning, how it trembled, where it pointed.

I once had to observe one case. On a busy road lay a sick dog in a collar, breathing heavily. People passed by, looking at the animal with disgust. Only one girl dared to approach her, not being afraid of people's condemnation and opinion. She gave the dog water and pushed him away from the road onto the grass.

In this case, it was more important for a person to help, to show kindness than what others might think.

Composition on the topic “That night there were long cold rains ...” (OPTION 8)

15.1. Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous Russian linguist Irina Borisovna Golub: “Definitely personal sentences, in comparison with two-part sentences, give speech dynamism, conciseness.”

The famous linguist I. B. Golub has a saying: “Definitely personal sentences, in comparison with two-part sentences, give speech dynamism, conciseness.”

Native speakers, and not only, can express their thoughts without using personal pronouns to save language resources and time. They certainly make the sentence more specific, but they can still be omitted for the sake of conciseness without losing the meaning of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "Let's cook porridge!" the soldiers could say: "We'll cook porridge!", but they used a definitely personal proposal. The exclusion of the pronoun "we" gave the sentence a brevity and a sense of unity of the soldiers, their general joy.

15.2. Explain how you understand the meaning of the final text: “The orderly also smiled and, stroking the nearest dog, answered: “They ate oatmeal. But they got you on time."

The text ends with the sentence “The orderly also smiled and, stroking the nearest dog, answered: “They ate oatmeal. But they got you on time."

The story tells about a difficult time, military. Cold, hunger, no food, the soldiers eat only water with breadcrumbs. And what happiness it was when the soldier Lukashuk suddenly found a bag of oatmeal, which seemed to the poor soldiers a real treasure. They were already looking forward to eating plenty of hearty porridge. But suddenly the owner of this bag appeared and took it away.

After a while, when things went better with food, soldier Lukashuk was saved by the same person who then took them from them. last hope- a bag of oatmeal He turned out to be a military nurse.

It seems that this orderly is, as it were, justifying himself to Lukashuk for what happened then. He makes it clear to the wounded man: thanks to the fact that he gave the oatmeal to the dogs, they managed to take him out on a sled and thereby save him. After all, if the orderly had not done this, the animals would have weakened from hunger and, perhaps, thanks to this very incident, Lukashuk remained alive, because the dogs took him on time. This is what happens in life: what at first glance seems like death, in fact, suddenly becomes salvation.

15.3. How do you understand the meaning of the word GOOD?

Kindness is such a vital phenomenon when a person helps others, despite the fact that for him this is fraught with some kind of inconvenience, loss of time, etc. This means giving another piece of your warmth, without fear of freezing yourself.

Know what you did today better life for someone, to realize that you have done good to someone, is this not happiness? Joy and satisfaction from bestowal are much stronger than they are in a situation where you receive something yourself. Kindness makes the life of each of us better and brighter. If you did good to someone, this someone along the chain will do good to another.

There is an example of kindness and compassion in the text. The orderly, who took a bag of oatmeal from the soldiers, gave it all to the hungry dogs, although he himself could get enough of it, because the time was very hungry, military. Due to the fact that the orderly, to his own detriment, fed the animals, they were able to gain strength and bring the wounded and injured on sleds. This is what the sentence says: “They ate the oatmeal. But they got you on time."

There are many people who, despite being busy and limited in finances, visit orphans in orphanages and helpless old people left alone. These people share with them not only material values, but also spiritual warmth, which means that life becomes brighter for whom.

An essay on the topic “At dusk, Bidenko and Gorbunov went on reconnaissance, taking Vanya Solntsev with them ...” (OPTION 9)

15.1. Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement taken from Literary Encyclopedia: “By making the characters talk to each other, instead of conveying their conversation on their own, the author can bring the appropriate shades to such a dialogue. He characterizes his characters with themes and manner of speech.

Every book lover knows how well the monologues or dialogues of characters characterize them, brightly highlight their literacy, good manners and other individual characteristics.

For convenience, the author could simply briefly convey the essence of the conversation between two or more book characters, but it is the schedule of their detailed dialogue that allows the reader to form an opinion about each of them. From the sentence “Well, why the hell are you hanging around here at night, you bastard! - Shouted a rough German voice with a cold, "it is clear to us that these words belong to a cruel and merciless man. Don't even need more detailed description this character - to the reader and it is so clear that nothing good can be expected from him.

The next example: “Oh, uncle, don’t hit me! he whimpered plaintively. I was looking for my horse. I found it by force. Ran all day and all night. Lost…” he shouted, brandishing his whip at Serko. Here the author could simply write that the boy pretended to be a shepherd and asked for mercy. But this phrase by Vanya helps the reader to vividly imagine the image of a miserable shepherd boy who is exhausted and begs to be let go in peace.

The phrases of the characters, their unique manner of speaking help the reader to immerse themselves in the work and create the effect that he himself seems to be present at the scene of the events described.

15.2. Explain how you understand the meaning of sentences 31-32 of the text: “He knew that his friends, faithful comrades-in-arms, were nearby. At the first cry, they will rush to the rescue and lay down the Nazis to one and all.

The boy Vanya is entrusted with a very important mission - to be a guide for scouts, to lead them into the enemy camp and warn of danger. For the sake of this purpose, the image of a fool-shepherd is thought out for him. Vanya is well aware of how important this goal is and how much depends on him.

There is a sentence in the text: “He knew that his friends, faithful comrades-in-arms, were nearby. At the first cry, they will rush to the rescue and lay down the Nazis to one and all.

When Vanya showed the way to Bidenko and Gorbunov, he stumbled upon two Germans and was seized with real horror. He was afraid not even for himself, but for the fact that their whole plan would collapse. He knew that in any case, his comrades would not let him be offended, they would protect him from the Nazis. When one of the Germans hit him humiliatingly, Vanya was furious: “How! He, a soldier of the Red Army, a scout of the famous battery of Captain Enakiev, was dared to hit with a boot by some kind of fascist flaw! But he pulled himself together just in time. If he gives vent to anger, the end of their plan. Despite the fact that there were people behind him who would protect him, Vanya pushed a personal offense into the background and put his important task in the first place: “But the boy also firmly remembered that he was in deep reconnaissance, where the slightest noise could detect group and disrupt the execution of a combat mission.

The boy Vanya, in the form of a shepherdess, coped with his task with honor and did not let down the scouts, who completely relied on him.

The text describes a terrible time for great country– Great Patriotic War. These were the years when every citizen of our country was required to be fearless, willing to sacrifice everything in the name of victory and freedom. It was a time when ordinary Soviet people performed feats for the sake of their homeland.

A feat in my understanding is when a person puts the well-being of his people and country in the first place, and then takes care of his personal welfare. A feat is something for which a person is ready to sacrifice his life.

During the war, millions of people lost their families, shelter, they united for the sake of victory over the enemy, putting aside their personal concerns.

A simple Russian boy Vanya stoically endured the bullying of the Nazis, cast aside his pride. It was incredibly difficult for him, but he knew that he simply had no right to let his comrades down: “Then he suppressed his rage and pride with a mighty effort of will.” He coped with the horror that seized him from meeting with enemies, and led the scouts further.

We hear from school incredible stories about heroism and deeds Soviet people during the war. Despite the nation and religion, they all as one stood up to defend their country, they were not afraid of severe trials. People boldly made their way into the enemy camp, freed the prisoners, rescued the wounded. All this is the feat thanks to which we have the opportunity to live and love today, to enjoy the peaceful sky above our heads.

Composition on the topic “Once, when my grandmother was on her knees, having a heartfelt conversation with God ...” (OPTION 10)

15.1. Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous Russian linguist Yevgeny Nikolaevich Shiryaev “The whole organization of language means in fiction is subordinated not only to the transfer of content, but to the transfer by artistic means.”

The artistic style differs from the scientific, official and journalistic style by the richness of means of expression. If in scientific papers and newspaper articles contain only dry facts, then fiction gives unlimited space for fantasy. Fiction novels, stories, novels abound with such artistic means as metaphor, comparison, description, hyperbole, personification and many others.

A striking example of use artistic means shown in the following sentences: “On a quiet night, its red flowers bloomed without smoke; only a darkish cloud hovered very high above them, not preventing them from seeing the silver stream Milky Way. The snow glowed crimson, and the walls of the buildings trembled, swayed, as if striving for a hot corner of the yard, where the fire played merrily, filling the wide cracks in the workshop wall with red, protruding from them with red-hot crooked nails.

The text describes the heroism of the grandmother, who fearlessly and with enviable self-control gives out instructions: “- Barn, neighbors, defend! The fire will spread to the barn, to the hayloft - our everything will burn to the ground and yours will be taken care of! Chop the roof, hay - into the garden! Brothers-neighbors, take it as friends, - God help you. The author shows a simple dialect characteristic of this woman, these phrases characterize her as a man of courage and not losing self-control.

15.2. Explain how you understand the meaning of the text sentence: "It was impossible not to listen to her at this hour."

The text describes a fire that broke out at two in the middle of the night and alarmed all the inhabitants of the house and neighbors. The servants and even the grandfather, the master of the house, rushed about in confusion as the fire devoured everything in its path. And only the grandmother managed to keep her cool, act reasonably and give instructions in order to save the household and the whole family. She advises even runaway neighbors how to save barns and hay.

The little grandson, on behalf of whom the narration is being conducted, describes in detail the events of this terrible night: “She was as interesting as the fire; illuminated by fire, which seemed to catch her, black, she rushed around the yard, keeping up with everything, disposing of everything, seeing everything.

The boy notices how the grandmother fearlessly ran into the burning workshop and carried out explosive vitriol. She even managed to calm the frightened, soaring horse. Calls him affectionately "mouse". Grandmother took on all the burden and responsibility: “- Evgenia, take off the icons! Natalia, dress up guys! - Grandmother commanded in a strict, strong voice, and grandfather howled softly: - And-and-s. Therefore, the grandson immediately understood: “It was impossible not to listen to her at that hour.”

15.3. How do you understand the meaning of the word DEVELOPMENT?

And in works of art, and in real life there were and are numerous examples of feats that were performed by both men and women. A feat is a selfless act that is performed in the name of saving the Motherland, family, strangers, even at the cost of own life. Only a man with a capital letter, noble and ready to help, is capable of such an act. The man-hero runs to the aid of those who are in a difficult situation, and he thinks of himself last.

In the text, such a Person is a grandmother, she is the only one, risking her life, burst into a building on fire in order to save the others, save barns and hay, not only her own, but also those of her neighbors. She does not panic, but calms the others. Even a horse running in fear, she managed to calm down: “- Don't be afraid! Grandmother said in a bass voice, patting him on the neck and taking the reins. - Ali, I will leave you with this fear? Oh you mouse…”

They say about such women: “He will stop a galloping horse, enter a burning hut.”

The world rests on such people-heroes, they give a chance for survival when it seems that everything is already over. The feat does not depend on age. I remember a case when a fifteen-year-old boy rescued seven neighbors' children from a burning house, while the rest succumbed to panic and lost hope.



Option 20

(1) This mu began To and in distant years, in the fifth or sixth grade.

(2) Glebov lived in his two-story courtyard next to a gray, huge, like a whole city or even a whole country, a house with a thousand windows. (3) A gray mass hung over the alley, in the morning behind With the sun shone, and in the evenings the sounds of music flew from above. (4) There, in the heavenly floors, it seemed that a completely different life was going on than below. (5) And Glebov from childhood had a burning sensation in his soul: either envy, or something else.

(6) Glebov's mother worked as a usher in a cinema. (7) And now her service in the cinema - rundown, in one of the Zamoskvoretsky lanes - was a matter of considerable pride for Glebov and distinguished him by the greatest privilege: he could go to any film without a ticket. (8) And sometimes in the daytime, when there are few spectators, he could even see a friend, or even two.

(9) This privilege was the basis of Glebov's power in the class. (10) He used it prudently and wisely:he invited boys in whose friendship he was interested, from whom he expected something in return, others he fed with promises for a long time before he did good deeds, and some scoundrels forever deprived of his mercy. (11) Glebov's power continued - well, not power, but, say, authority - and remained unshaken until Levka Shulepa arose. (12) The first days he held himself haughtily, looked with his blue eyes at everyone sleepily and contemptuously, did not start a conversation with anyone and sat down at the same desk with the girl. (13) They decided to teach him a lesson, or rather, humiliate him. (14) And even more precisely - to disgrace. (15) Glebov ardently persuaded to deal with Shulepa, whom he did not like, but at the last moment decided not to participate in the massacre.

(16) The boys - there were five of them - called Lyovka after school to the backyard, surrounded him, arguing about something, and suddenly the Bear, the main strongman of the class, grabbed Lyovka by the neck, knocked him over with a jerk, the rest shouted "wow - go!" they attacked, Lyovka resisted, kicked him, but, of course, they crushed him, twisted him, someone sat on his chest.
(17) And suddenly there was a loud crash, as if a cracker had exploded or burst car tire. (18) Then all five rushed to the sides, Lyovka got to his feet, and in his hand he held a pug that fired special caps. (19) Shulepa emerged victorious from this story, and the attackers were put to shame and subsequently tried their best to make peace and make friends with him.

(20) So Lyovka from a man who was going to be disgraced all over the world turned into a hero. (21) And from this, probably, that time was born in Glebov that heaviness at the bottom of the soul ... (22) And no more unhappy than people smitten with jealousy. (23) And there was no more devastating misfortune than what happened to Glebov at the moment of his seemingly supreme triumph.

The boy was tall and thin, with unreasonably long arms deep in his pockets. The head on a thin neck always leaned forward a little.

The guys called him Semaphore.

The boy has recently moved into this house. He went out into the courtyard in new shiny galoshes and, lifting his legs high, strode out into the street. When he passed by the guys, he lowered his head even lower.

Ish imagines! Mishka got angry. - He doesn’t want to know ... - But much more often Mishka shouted: - Semaphore, come here, let's talk!

The guys also shouted after the boy various mocking, and sometimes offensive words. The boy only quickened his pace. Sometimes, if the guys came close to him, he looked at them with blue, very large, clear eyes and silently blushed.

The guys decided that Semaphore was too good a nickname for such a squishy guy, and they began to call the boy simply Sima, and sometimes - to be sure - Sima from the fourth issue. And Mishka kept getting angry and grumbling at the sight of the boy:

We need to teach this goose a lesson. Walking here!

Once Sima disappeared and did not appear in the yard for a long time. A month or two passed ... Winter began to weaken and ruled the street only at night. During the day, a warm wind blew from the Gulf of Finland. The snow in the yard began to wrinkle, turned gray, turned into a wet, dirty mess. And in these spring-like warm days, Sima appeared again. His galoshes were as new as if he had never worn them at all. The neck is even more tightly wrapped with a scarf. Under his arm, he held a black sketchbook.

Sima looked at the sky, narrowed his eyes, as if weaned from the light, blinked. Then he went to the far corner of the yard, to someone else's front door.

Ege, Sima got out! .. - Mishka whistled in surprise. - Acquaintance, in any way, started.

Lyudmilka lived on the stairs where Sima went.

Sima went up to the front door and began to slowly pace back and forth, looking hesitantly into the dark opening of the stairs.

Waiting, - Krugly Tolik chuckled, - his Lyudmilka.

Or maybe not Lyudmilka at all, - put in Keshka. - Why should he mess with Lyudmilka?

Tolik looked at Keshka slyly, - they say, we know, they are not small, and said:

What is he doing there then? .. Maybe he breathes air? ..

Maybe, - agreed Keshka.

Mishka listened to them arguing, and thought about something.

It's time to act, - he suddenly intervened. - Let's go talk to this Sima.

Let's go, - Tolik supported.

Mishka and Kruglyi Tolik moved forward shoulder to shoulder. Keshka also joined them. At the decisive moment it is impossible to leave comrades - this is called honor. A few more guys joined the three friends. They walked on the sides and behind.

Noticing the army advancing on him, Sima raised his head, as always, blushed and smiled timidly.

What are you? .. - began Mishka. - What is it? .. Well, what?

Sima blushed even more. muttered:

Nothing... I'm going...

He, it turns out, walks, - Krugly Tolik laughed.

Mishka leaned forward, put his hands behind his back, turned sideways to Sima and spoke slowly, menacingly:

Maybe you don’t consider us as people?.. Yes?.. Maybe you are brave?..

Sima looked around at all the guys with his big eyes, slightly opened his mouth.

And what did I do to you?

But we are not going to beat you, we will always have time ... I say, let's exchange, let's go one on one ... Let's see what kind of ostrich you are so unusual that you don't want to approach us.

With you? Sima asked.

Mishka stuck out his lip and nodded.

Sima looked at his feet and quite unexpectedly objected:

So it's very dirty.

The guys laughed together. And Mishka looked Sima contemptuously from head to toe.

Maybe you Persian rug lay down?

Sima pressed the black album to himself, stamped his feet and asked:

Let's wait, but ... when will the sun be up?

When the guys laughed enough, Mishka stepped forward, pulled the album out of Simin's hands.

He needs the sun ... Well, let me see!

Sima turned pale, grabbed Mishka's hand, but the guys immediately pushed him back.

And Mishka has already opened the black calico cover.

On the first page of the album, in beautiful colored letters, it was written: "To the teacher Maria Alekseevna from Grigoriev Kolya."

Engaged in sycophancy… Clearly! - Misha said it in such a tone, as if he did not expect anything else.

Give the album back, - Sima asked the guys behind their backs. He tried to push the crowd, but the boys stood tight. Some laughed, and Mishka shouted:

You, sycophant, are not very good, otherwise I won’t even wait for the sun, I’ll let you have a portion of pasta on your neck!

Wow, great!..

The guys settled on Mishka.

Caravels, frigates, cruisers, submarines moved forward. Watercolor storms raged, typhoons… And one drawing even depicted a giant tornado. Sailors from a small boat hit the tornado from a cannon.

Keshka jumped up and down with delight. He pushed Mishka under the elbow, asked:

Mishka, give me a picture? .. Well, Mishka ...

Everyone forgot that the album belongs to Sima, they even forgot that Sima is standing next to it.

Mishka closed the album and looked over the guys' heads at the artist.

You, toady Sim, listen ... Let's act according to honor and conscience. So that you don't suck up to the teachers next time, we will distribute your pictures to anyone who wants to. It's clear? - And, without waiting for an answer, he shouted: - Well, come on! .. Beautiful pictures from sea life!

The pages in the album were bound with a white silk ribbon. Mishka unraveled the bow on the cover, crumpled up the first page with the inscription, and began handing out pictures.

Keshka received a four-pipe cruiser Varyag, a frigate with a black pirate flag. Motley little men with huge sabers and pistols ran along the deck of the frigate ... He begged for another monkey on a palm tree and high mountain with white sugar top.

Having distributed all the pictures, Mishka approached Sima and pushed him in the chest.

Get out now!.. Do you hear?

Sima's lips trembled, he covered his eyes with his hands in gray knitted gloves and, shuddering, went to his stairs.

Follow the sun! Mishka called after him.

The guys boasted to each other trophies. But their fun was suddenly interrupted. Lyudmilka appeared at the front door.

Hey you, give me pictures, otherwise I'll tell you everything about you ... Why was Sim offended?

Well, what did I say? They are at one with each other, - Round Tolik jumped up to Keshka. - Now they would go to the teacher under the arm ... - Tolik bent over, made his hand a pretzel and walked, swaying, a few steps.

Lyudmila flared up.

I am not familiar with this Simka at all ...

Well, then there is nothing to poke your nose! Mishka said. - Let's go, I say! - He stamped his foot, as if he was about to throw himself at Lyudmilka.

Lyudmilka jumped aside, slipped and plopped into the snowy mess at the threshold of the stairs. There was a huge wet stain on a pink coat trimmed with white fur. Lyudmila roared:

And I’ll also say about this t-u-u ... You’ll see! ..

Wow, peep! Mishka waved his hand. - Get out of here guys...

At the woodpile, in their favorite place, the boys again began to examine the drawings. One Mishka sat drooping, rubbing his palm under his nose (he had such a habit).

What kind of teacher is Maria Alekseevna? he muttered. - Maybe the one who lives on Lyudmilka's stairs? ..

I came up with ... She has not been working at school for the third year, she retired, - Krugly Tolik nonchalantly objected.

Mishka looked at him indifferently.

Where are you so smart when you don’t need to ... - He got up, in his hearts kicked the log on which he had just been sitting, and, turning to the guys, began to select pictures. Let's go, let's say...

Keshka did not want to part with the ships and the palm tree, but he gave them to Mishka without a word. After Sima left, he felt uneasy.

Mishka collected all the sheets, put them back into the album.

The first dedication page was damaged. Mishka smoothed it on his knee and put it under the cover too.

The next day the sun dominated the sky. It dissolved the snow slurry and drove it in cheerful streams to the hatches in the middle of the yard. Chips, pieces of birch bark, sagging paper, matchboxes dived in whirlpools above the bars. Everywhere, in every drop of water, small multi-colored suns flashed, like scattered beads. On the walls of houses they chased each other sunbeams. They jumped on the children's noses, cheeks, flashed in the children's eyes. Spring!

Janitor Aunt Nastya was sweeping garbage from the bars. The guys dug holes with sticks, and water fell noisily into dark wells. By noon, the asphalt had dried up. Only rivers of dirty water continued to run from under the woodpile.

The boys were building a dam out of bricks.

Bear, running from school, hung his bag on a nail driven into a huge log, and began to build a reservoir.

Let's hurry, - he was tearing himself up, - otherwise all the water will run away from under the woodpile!

The guys carried bricks, sand, wood chips ... and then they noticed Sima.

Sima stood not far from the gate with a briefcase in his hands, as if he was thinking where to go - home or to the guys.

Ah, Sima! .. - Mishka shouted. - The sun is in the sky ... Dry, look, - Mishka pointed to a large dried-up bald patch. - So what do you say?

Maybe bring a pillow? Tolik quipped.

The guys laughed, vying with each other offering their services: carpet, rugs and even straw, so that Sima would not be hard. Sima stood a little in the same place and moved towards the guys. The conversations immediately ceased.

Come on, - Sima said simply.

Mishka got up, wiped his wet hands on his pants, and threw off his coat.

To first blood or to full strength?

To the fullest, - Sima answered not too loudly, but very decisively. This meant that he agreed to fight to the end, while the hands were raised, while the fingers were clenched into a fist. It doesn't matter if your nose bleeds or not. The winner is the one who says: "Enough, I give up ..."

The boys stood in a circle. Sima hung his briefcase on the same nail with Mishka's bag, took off his coat, tied the scarf around his neck tighter. Tolik clapped his hands and said: “Bem-m-m! .. Gong!”

The bear raised his fists to his chest, jumped around Sima. Sima also put out his fists, but everything showed that he did not know how to fight. As soon as Mishka approached, he put his hand forward, trying to send Mishka's chest, and immediately received a blow to the ear.

The guys thought that he would roar, run to complain, but Sima pursed his lips and waved his arms like a windmill. He was advancing. He kneaded the air with his fists. Sometimes his blows got Mishka, but he substituted: elbows under them.

Sima got another slap. Yes, such that he could not resist and sat on the asphalt.

Well, maybe that's enough? - Mishka asked peacefully.

Sima shook his head, got up and clapped his hands again.

Spectators during a fight are very worried. They jump up and down, wave their arms, and imagine that by doing so they are helping their friend.

Mishka, why are you today! .. Misha, give me!

Mishka-ah-ah ... Well!

Sima, it's not for you to engage in sycophancy ... Misha-ah!

And only one of the guys suddenly shouted:

Sima, hold on... Sima, give it to me! - It was Kolika shouting. - Why are you waving your hands? You beat...

The bear fought without much passion. Among the spectators there would be those ready to swear that Mishka felt sorry for Sima. But after Keshka's cry, Mishka puffed up and began to thresh. Sima bent over and only occasionally put out his hand to push the enemy away.

Athas! - Tolik suddenly shouted and was the first to rush into the doorway. Lyudmilka's mother hurried to the woodpile; Lyudmilka spoke a little further away. Noticing that the boys were running away, Lyudmilka's mother quickened her pace.

Mishka grabbed his coat and darted into the gateway, where all the spectators had already disappeared. Only Keshka did not have time. He hid behind the woodpile.

But Sima did not see or hear anything. He was still hunched over, deafened by the blows. And since Mishka's fists suddenly ceased to fall on him, he apparently decided that the enemy was tired, and went on the offensive. His first lunge hit Lyudmilka's mother in the side, the second - in the stomach.

What are you doing? she screeched. - Lyudochka, did he push you into a puddle?

No, no, - whined Lyudmilka. - This is Sima, they beat him. And Mishka pushed. He ran into the alley.

Sima raised his head, looked around in confusion.

Why did they beat you, boy? - asked Lyudmilka's mother.

And they didn’t beat me at all,” Sima replied sullenly.

But I saw it myself...

It was a duel. - Sima put on his coat, took off his briefcase from the nail, went away.

But then Lyudmilka's mother asked:

Whose bag is this?

Mishkin! shouted Ludmilka. - You have to take it. The bear will come by itself.

Then Keshka jumped out from behind the woodpile, grabbed his bag and ran to the front door.

Run after me! he called to Sima.

This Keshka is Mishka's friend, Lyudmilka roared.

In the front door, the boys took a breath, sat down on the step of the stairs.

My name is Kesha. Are you in a lot of pain?

Not, no so much…

They sat for a while longer, listening to Lyudina's mother threatening to go to Mishka's school, to Mishka's parents, and even to the police, to the anti-neglect department.

You wanted to give this album to your teacher? - asked Keshka suddenly.

Sim turned away.

No, Maria Alekseevna. She has been retired for a long time. When I got sick, she found out and came. She studied with me for two months ... for free. I specially drew this album for her.

Keshka whistled. And in the evening he came to Mishka.

Mishka, give Sima the album. This is when he was ill, so Maria Alekseevna worked with him ... for free ...

I know it myself,” Mishka answered. All evening he was taciturn, turned away, tried not to make eye contact. Keshka knew Mishka and knew that this was not without reason. And the next day, this is what happened.

Toward evening, Sima went out into the yard. He still walked with his head down, and blushed when Mishka and Tolik jumped up to him. He probably thought that he would be called to fight again: yesterday no one gave up, and yet this matter must be brought to an end. But Mishka thrust his red wet hand into his.

Okay, Sima, peace.

Let's go with us to make a reservoir, - suggested Tolik. Don't be shy, we won't tease...

Sima's big eyes lit up, because it's nice for a person when Mishka himself looks at him as an equal, and the first one gives a hand.

Give him the album! Keshka hissed into Mishka's ear.

The bear frowned and didn't answer.

The brick dam was leaking. The water in the reservoir did not hold. Rivers strove to run around him.

The guys froze, got smeared, even wanted to punch a channel in the asphalt. But they were prevented by a little old woman in a downy shawl.

She went up to Sima, meticulously examined his coat and scarf.

Buckle up, Kolya! You will catch a cold again ... - Then she looked at him kindly and added: - Thank you for the gift.

Sima blushed deeply and muttered, ashamed:

Which present?..

Album. - The old woman looked at the guys, as if convicting them of complicity, and solemnly said: - "Dear teacher Maria Aleksevna, a good person."

Sima blushed even more. He did not know where to go, he suffered.

I didn't write this...

Wrote, wrote! - Keshka suddenly clapped his hands ... - He showed us this album, with ships ...

Mishka stood next to Sima, looked at the old woman and said in a hollow voice:

Of course, he wrote ... Only he is shy of us - he thinks we will tease him with a sycophant. Freak!

Radiy Petrovich Pogodin
Sim from number four

Maybe, - agreed Keshka.

Let's go, - Tolik supported.

Nothing... I'm going...

And what did I do to you?

With you? Sima asked.

Mishka stuck out his lip and nodded.

So it's very dirty.

On the first page of the album, in beautiful colored letters, it was written: "To the teacher Maria Alekseevna from Grigoriev Kolya."

Give the album back, - Sima asked the guys behind their backs. He tried to push the crowd, but the boys stood tight.

Wow, great!..

The guys settled on Mishka.

Keshka received a four-pipe cruiser "Varyag", a frigate with a black pirate flag. On the deck of the frigate, colorful little men with huge sabers and pistols ran ... He begged for another monkey on a palm tree and a high mountain with a white sugar peak.

Nikitin fell back and felt the back seat cushion on the back of his head. She was cool and soft. He sat for a while with his eyes closed, then took his hands off the black circle of the steering wheel. He removed it carefully, as from the keys of a piano.

Vitaly! - called Nikitin, getting out of the cab. And once again: - Vitaly!

Darkness pressed in from all sides. My knees were shaking badly. Slowly shifting his legs, he took a few steps back.

Two ruts worn by the wheels darkened on the slope of a snowdrift. They climbed the blockage and ended there, cut off by a new landslide. The edge of the blockage still could not withstand the last jerk. And on the very edge, above the disastrous depth, howling with an icy wind, stood Vitalka - a small figure in the vast northern night.

Vital! What are you standing for? After all, they got out! - The driver choked on the burning air, ran up to Vitalka and grabbed him by the shoulders. - You are my dear! They got out, you know?

They broke out, Uncle Nikitin, - Vitalka answered like an echo.

Let's go to the cab, - said the driver. - You are my dear assistant ... I will definitely be your guest today.

In Chukotka, two thousand kilometers away, somewhere between the islands of Big and Small Diomede, the new year was already beginning.

Once Sima disappeared and did not appear in the yard for a long time. A month or two passed ... Winter began to weaken and ruled the street only at night.

Or maybe not Lyudmilka at all, - put in Keshka. - Why should he mess with Lyudmilka?

Tolik looked at Keshka slyly, - they say, we know, they are not small, and said:

What is he doing there then? .. Maybe he breathes air? ..

Maybe, - agreed Keshka.

Mishka listened to them arguing, and thought about something.

Mishka leaned forward, put his hands behind his back, turned sideways to Sima and spoke slowly, menacingly:

Sima looked around at all the guys with his big eyes, slightly opened his mouth.

And what did I do to you?

But we are not going to beat you, we will always have time ... I say, let's exchange, let's go one on one ... Let's see what kind of ostrich you are so unusual that you don't want to approach us.

With you? Sima asked.

Mishka stuck out his lip and nodded.

Sima looked at his feet and quite unexpectedly objected:

So it's very dirty.

The guys laughed together. And Mishka looked Sima contemptuously from head to toe.

Maybe you can lay a Persian carpet?

Sima pressed the black album to himself, stamped his feet and asked:

Let's wait, but ... when will the sun be up?

When the guys laughed enough, Mishka stepped forward, pulled the album out of Simin's hands.

He needs the sun ... Well, let me see!

Sima turned pale, grabbed Mishka's hand, but the guys immediately pushed him back.

And Mishka has already opened the black calico cover.

On the first page of the album, in beautiful colored letters, it was written:

Engaged in sycophancy… Clearly! - Misha said it in such a tone, as if he did not expect anything else.

You, sycophant, are not very good, otherwise I won’t even wait for the sun, I’ll let you have a portion of pasta on your neck!

Wow, great!..

The guys settled on Mishka.

Caravels, frigates, cruisers, submarines moved forward. Watercolor storms raged, typhoons… And one drawing even depicted a giant tornado. Sailors from a small boat hit the tornado from a cannon.

Keshka jumped up and down with delight. He pushed Mishka under the elbow, asked:

Mishka, give me a picture? .. Well, Mishka ...

Mishka closed the album and looked over the guys' heads at the artist.

You, toady Sim, listen ... Let's act according to honor and conscience. So that you don't suck up to the teachers next time, we will distribute your pictures to anyone who wants to. It's clear? - And, without waiting for an answer, he shouted: - Well, come on! .. Beautiful pictures of marine life! ..

The pages in the album were bound with a white silk ribbon. Mishka unraveled the bow on the cover, crumpled up the first page with the inscription, and began handing out pictures.

Keshka received a four-pipe cruiser Varyag, a frigate with a black pirate flag. On the deck of the frigate, colorful little men with huge sabers and pistols ran ... He begged for another monkey on a palm tree and a high mountain with a white sugar top.

Having distributed all the pictures, Mishka approached Sima and pushed him in the chest.

Get out now!.. Do you hear?

Sima's lips trembled, he covered his eyes with his hands in gray knitted gloves and, shuddering, went to his stairs.

Follow the sun! Mishka called after him.

Current page: 4 (total book has 7 pages)

The piggy bank filled up quickly. Her aunt still dropped coppers into her for her good grades; in addition, she began to reward Tolik for good behavior. All "milk" money also found shelter in the dark canine gut.

Just before the New Year, Vladik invited Tolik to his place. He was noticeably nervous, rummaged through the closet, wrote something very hastily and angrily on a table with bent legs.

Do you want to earn triple? he asked Tolik, who suddenly sat down on a chair. And then he answered himself: - I see, if you want ... Here, fly to the one in the astrakhan hat. Is that clear? .. - He thrust a package wrapped in thick paper into Tolik's hands and a note ...

“There are important samples here. One leg here, the other there...

- I'll just take the briefcase.

- Urgently needed ... Press with a briefcase. Come on with all your might! - Vlad named the street near the circus and pushed Tolik to the door.

Tolik shot out into the yard like a bullet. In the gateway, he ran into Mishka and Keshka, deftly jumped over the substituted leg and rushed to the tram stop.

- Util ran to hand over, grabber! .. - Mishka suddenly took off. - Let's take it away, so as not to ask.

Friends stamped together after Tolik.

Tolik ran without looking back and only noticed the chase in the square. But it was already too late. Mishka poked Tolik in the back with his fist. The bundle fell softly on the pavement... Keshka kicked it with his foot. The paper burst, and four smoky skins were flattened on the clean, slightly damp snow. The guys were in a hurry.

The fur on the skins shone silky, shimmered with soft waves ...

Tell me where you stole it? – clung to Tolik Mishka.

“Vladik gave it to me,” Tolik whimpered in fright.

- You're lying, you unfortunate goga! ..

Passers-by stopped near the guys. The gray-haired, agile old woman came quite close and reproachfully threatened Mishka:

- Here I am, a robber! .. And it's not a shame to beat the little ones? And you're wearing a red tie!

Mishka wanted to snap, but a formidable bass sounded over his ear:

- What is going on with you?

Mishkin's collar turned out to be in a strong five.

Mishka squinted his eyes: "Policeman ..."

The policeman looked at the guys and grabbed Keshka with his free hand. Keshka has already picked up the skins; they were wrapped around his arms like a woman's muff.

- Uncle, these are my skins ... Vladik gave me ... and here is a note ... - Tolik murmured.

The policeman tightened his grip on the childish collars and briefly ordered:

- Follow me!..

Mishka managed to grab Tolik by the sleeve.

“Try to run away, you unfortunate goga… toad… I’ll…

But Tolik did not try to escape; he dutifully minced next to Mishka.

The duty room of the police station smelled of carbolic acid and washed floors. Not daring to sit on chairs, the guys perched on the floor near the steam radiator.

Tolik whimpered again.

- Roar ... You won’t cry like that yet! .. - Mishka hit himself on the forehead. - I know! .. This goga got in touch with poachers or smugglers. I read it happens...

Keshka moved closer, looked at Tolik with curiosity.

- Did you really get in touch?

Tolik whimpered even louder.

“Stop it,” Mishka said angrily. “I should have thought ahead. In general, the cover to you now.

A policeman appeared at the door.

– Come in!

The children found themselves in a bright, spacious office. A tall, stocky police major was standing by the window. The skins were on the table. The officer looked at the guys and was silent.

“Comrade chief,” Mishka stepped forward. - He's not a bastard. He just got confused. He became greedy for money.

- Who is confused? the major asked sternly.

- Like who? .. Here, a gog with a bow ... - Mishka pushed Tolik to the table.

The major came closer and now looked at Tolik from above, big and gloomy.

- Well, Goga. Tell me where you got the otter from. Here are the skins.

Tolik shifted from foot to foot. He wanted to cling to Mishkin's sleeve. But Mishka looked aloof. Tolik took two timid steps and clung to the table.

- I ... I didn’t steal ... It was Vladik who asked me to take the package to that one. To the astrakhan hat... But they attacked...

The major wrinkled his forehead, nodded to Mishka and Keshka:

- Sit in the waiting room.

I had to sit for a long time. Finally the major came out of the office.

- Can you keep quiet?

- Like coffins!

- So ... Where were you, what did you do - no one. Clear?..

What will happen to Tolik? Kesha asked. “Is it…

- Yes, if you want, we will beat him one hundred percent in the yard. He's not some kind of bastard ... - Mishka boomed. - Yes, we are to him! ..

The Major frowned.

Do you remember the agreement?

- We remember.

- Everyone ... Run home.

A few minutes later the guys were sitting in their favorite place, on a log between the woodpile, were silent and thought.

Meanwhile, Tolik was walking towards the circus. He held a soft package wrapped in gray thick paper to his side.

He often looked around, looked at the numbers of houses. Finally, he stopped near an old building with a peeling facade and entered the doorway. Almost at the same moment, a black “Victory” rolled up to the house ...

Looking at the half-worn apartment numbers, Tolik slowly climbed the stairs. Finally he found a door lined with white medical oilcloth, and rising on tiptoe, rang the bell.

The door suddenly swung open. A man in slippers and a thick woolen jacket stepped onto the landing.

- Why are you here?

Tolik hastily swallowed his saliva.

- I ... Vladik sent me ... Here it is for you ... And a note.

The man took the note, quickly scanned it with his eyes, frowned and almost snatched the package from Tolik's hands.

– What are you like?.. Soaked... Did something happen?..

Inside, Tolik went cold.

- No... My head hurts. I refused, and Vladik said - urgently ... So I went.

- You will go past the pharmacy, buy a pyramidon, - the man took fifteen kopecks out of his pocket, handed it to Tolik and gently ran his hand along Tolikov's cheek.

On the landing of the first floor, four men walked past Tolik. He stepped aside to let them go upstairs.

* * *

From all the troubles and worries, Tolik started the lessons, and now he was often left at school to study. My aunt grumbled, wondering if he was ill.

Once, when he was returning late from school, Mishka and Keshka met him in the gateway.

- Only ... Then the major came to you. I wanted to see you, they vied with each other. - He told me to go to him. I left a piece of paper to let you in.

Tolik put the paper in his pocket and, bowing his head, wandered home. A few minutes later, Tolik reappeared in the yard with a heavy object tied in a mother's handkerchief in his hands.

Tolik untied the handkerchief in the major's spacious office and placed on the table a large faience dog with stupid, shining eyes.

- What is this figure? the major asked. Why did you bring her here?

“Evidence,” Tolik muttered. “The money they gave me is in there.

The Major shook his head.

– And it’s not a pity? .. After all, you have some scrap there too, – he smiled, screwed up his eyes. And for good grades...

Tolik blushed.

- How do you know?..

We all know about you. The Major tapped the dog with a pencil. - English faience. Get you from your aunt!

“It will,” Tolik agreed. “But I still won’t take it back.

SIM FROM THE FOURTH ROOM

B

Sima looked at the sky, narrowed his eyes, as if weaned from the light, blinked. Then he went to the far corner of the yard, to someone else's front door.

“Maybe,” Kesha agreed.

Noticing the army advancing on him, Sima raised his head, as always, blushed and smiled timidly.

- Nothing ... I'm going ...

“And what did I do to you?”

Mishka stuck out his lip and nodded.

Sima looked at his feet and quite unexpectedly objected:

- It's very dirty.

The guys laughed together. And Mishka looked Sima contemptuously from head to toe.

The guys laughed.

"To the teacher Maria Alekseevna from Grigoriev Kolya."

Some laughed, and Mishka shouted:

- Wow, great!

The guys settled on Mishka.

Keshka jumped up and down with delight. He pushed Mishka under the elbow, asked:

Everyone forgot that the album belongs to Sima, they even forgot that Sima is standing next to it.

Mishka closed the album and looked over the guys' heads at the artist.

Lyudmila flared up.

- Bear-ah-ah ... Well!

- I you, hooligans! ..

- Whose bag is this?

- Not, no so much…

Sim turned away.

“I know it myself,” Mishka answered.

- All right, Sima, peace.

- Which present?..

I didn't write this...

B The boy was tall and thin, with his unreasonably long arms deep in his pockets. The head on a thin neck always leaned forward a little. The guys called him Semaphore.

The boy has recently moved into this house. He went out into the courtyard in new shiny galoshes and, lifting his legs high, strode out into the street. When he passed by the guys, he lowered his head even lower.

- Look, imagine! Mishka got angry. - He doesn’t want to know ... - But much more often Mishka shouted: - Semaphore, come here, let's talk! ..

The guys also shouted after the boy various mocking, and sometimes offensive words. The boy only lowered his head and quickened his pace. Sometimes, if the guys came close to him, he looked at them with blue, very large, clear eyes and silently blushed.

The guys decided that Semaphore was too good a nickname for such a floppy, and they began to call the boy simply Sima, and sometimes - to be sure - Sima from the fourth issue. And Mishka kept getting angry and grumbling at the sight of the boy:

- We need to teach this goose a lesson. Walking here!

Once Sima disappeared and did not appear in the yard for a long time. A month or two passed ... Winter began to weaken and ruled the street only at night. During the day, a warm wind blew from the Gulf of Finland. The snow in the yard turned gray, turned into a wet, dirty mess. And in these spring-like warm days, Sima appeared again. His galoshes were as new as if he had never worn them at all. The neck is even more tightly wrapped with a scarf. He held a black sketchbook under his arm.

Sima looked at the sky, narrowed his eyes, as if weaned from the light, blinked. Then he went to the far corner of the yard, to someone else's front door.

- Hey, Sima got out! .. - Mishka whistled in surprise. - Acquaintance, in any way, started.

Lyudmilka lived on the stairs where Sima went.

Sima went up to the front door and began to slowly pace back and forth, looking hesitantly into the dark opening of the stairs.

“Waiting,” Krugly Tolik chuckled, “his Lyudmilka…”

“Or maybe not Lyudmilka at all,” put in Keshka. - Why should he mess with Lyudmilka?

Tolik looked at Keshka slyly - they say, we know, they are not small - and said:

- What is he doing there then? .. Maybe he breathes air? ..

“Maybe,” Kesha agreed.

Mishka listened to them arguing, and thought about something.

"Time to act," he said suddenly. Let's go talk to this Sima.

Mishka and Kruglyi Tolik moved forward shoulder to shoulder. Keshka also joined them. At the decisive moment, you cannot leave your comrades - this is called honor. A few more guys joined the three friends. They walked on the sides and behind.

Noticing the army advancing on him, Sima raised his head, as always, blushed and smiled timidly.

- What are you? .. - began Mishka. - What is it? .. Well, what?

Sima blushed even more. muttered:

- Nothing ... I'm going ...

- He appears to be walking! Krugly Tolik laughed.

Mishka leaned forward, put his hands behind his back, turned to Sima a little sideways and spoke slowly, menacingly:

“Maybe you don’t consider us human beings?.. Yes?.. Maybe you’re brave?..

Sima looked around at all the guys with his big eyes, slightly opened his mouth.

“And what did I do to you?”

- But we are not going to beat you, - Mishka explained to him, - we will always have time ... I say, we will exchange, we will go one on one ... Let's see what kind of ostrich you are so unusual that you don’t want to approach us.

- With you? Sima asked.

Mishka stuck out his lip and nodded.

Sima looked at his feet and quite unexpectedly objected:

- It's very dirty.

The guys laughed together. And Mishka looked Sima contemptuously from head to toe.

“Maybe you should lay a Persian carpet?”

Sima pressed the black album to himself, stamped his feet and asked:

- We'll wait, but ... when will the sun be up?

The guys laughed.

When they laughed enough, Mishka stepped forward, pulled the album from Simin's hands.

- He needs the sun ... Well, let me see!

Sima turned pale, grabbed Mishka's hand, but he was immediately pushed back.

And Mishka has already opened the black calico cover. On the first page of the album, in beautiful colored letters, it was written:

"To the teacher Maria Alekseevna from Grigoriev Kolya."

- He is engaged in sycophancy ... Clearly! - Mishka said it in such a tone, as if he had not expected anything else.

“Give me the album,” Sima asked the guys behind their backs. He tried to push the crowd, but the boys stood tight.

Some laughed, and Mishka shouted:

- You, sycophant, are not very good, otherwise I won’t even wait for the sun, I’ll let you have a portion of pasta on your neck!

Keshka no longer felt sorry for Sim, he stood next to Mishka and hurried him:

On the next page was drawn sailing ship, a brigantine, as Mishka determined. The brigantine was carried in full sail. Her nose was buried in a seething deep blue wave. On the deck at the mast, the captain stood with his arms folded.

- Wow, great!

The guys settled on Mishka.

Caravels, frigates, cruisers, submarines cut through the elastic waves. Watercolor storms raged, typhoons… And one drawing even showed a giant tornado. Sailors from a small boat hit the tornado from a cannon. After the ships came various palm trees, tigers...

Keshka jumped up and down with delight. He pushed Mishka under the elbow, asked:

- Mishka, give me a picture ... Well, Mishka, then ...

Everyone forgot that the album belongs to Sima, they even forgot that Sima is standing next to it.

Mishka closed the album and looked over the guys' heads at the artist.

- You, toady Sim, listen ... Let's act according to honor and conscience. So that you don't suck up to the teachers next time, we will distribute your pictures to anyone who wants to. It's clear? - And, without waiting for an answer, he shouted: - Well, come on! .. Beautiful pictures from sea life!

The pages in the album were bound with a white silk ribbon. Mishka unraveled the bow on the cover, crumpled up the first page with the inscription, and began handing out pictures.

Keshka received a four-pipe cruiser "Varyag", a frigate with a black pirate flag. Motley little men with huge sabers and pistols ran along the deck of the frigate ... He also begged for a monkey on a palm tree and a high mountain with a white sugar top.

After handing out all the pictures, Mishka went up to Sima and pushed him in the chest.

- Get out now! .. Do you hear?

Sima's lips trembled, he covered his eyes with his hands in gray knitted gloves and, shuddering, went to his stairs.

- Follow the sun! Mishka called after him.

The guys boasted to each other trophies. But their fun was suddenly interrupted. Lyudmilka appeared at the front door.

- Hey you, give me pictures, otherwise I'll tell you everything about you ... I'll tell you that you are bandits ... Why did Sima offend?

- Well, what did I say? They are at one with each other, - Round Tolik jumped up to Keshka. - Now they would go to the teacher under the arm ... - Tolik bent, made his hand a pretzel and walked, swaying, a few steps.

Lyudmila flared up.

- Hooligans, and I don’t know this Simka at all ...

- Well, get out, there's nothing to stick your nose in then! Mishka said. - Let's go, I say! - He stamped his foot, as if he was about to throw himself at Lyudmilka.

Lyudmilka jumped aside, slipped and flopped into the snowy mess at the threshold of the stairs. There was a huge wet stain on a pink coat trimmed with white fur. Lyudmila roared.

– And I’ll t-tell about this too… You’ll see! ..

- Oh, squeak! Mishka waved his hand. - Get out of here guys...

At the woodpile, in their favorite place, the boys again began to examine the drawings. One Mishka sat drooping, rubbing his palm under his nose and collecting his forehead into longitudinal, then transverse wrinkles.

- What kind of teacher is Maria Alekseevna? he muttered. “Maybe the one who lives on Lyudmilka’s stairs?”

- Thought up ... She has not been working at school for the third year. She retired, - Round Tolik nonchalantly objected.

Mishka looked at him indifferently.

“Where are you so smart when you don’t have to…” He got up, in his heart kicked the log he had just been sitting on, and, turning to the guys, began to select pictures. Let's go, let's say...

Keshka did not want to part with the ships and the palm tree, but he gave them to Mishka without a word. After Sima left, he felt uneasy.

Mishka collected all the sheets, put them back into the album. Only the first page with the dedication was irrevocably damaged. Mishka smoothed it on his knees and put it under the cover too.

The next day the sun dominated the sky. It loosened the snow and drove it in cheerful streams to the hatches in the middle of the yard. Chips, pieces of birch bark, sagging paper, matchboxes dived in whirlpools above the bars. Everywhere, in every drop of water, small multi-colored suns flashed. Sunbeams chased each other on the walls of the houses. They jumped on the children's noses, cheeks, flashed in the children's eyes. Spring!

Janitor Aunt Nastya was sweeping garbage from the bars. The guys dug holes with sticks, and water fell noisily into dark wells. By noon, the asphalt had dried up. Only rivers of dirty water continued to run from under the woodpile.

The boys were building a dam out of bricks.

Bear, running from school, hung his bag on a nail driven into a huge log, and began to build a reservoir.

“Let’s go faster,” he strained, “otherwise all the water will run away from under the woodpile!”

The guys carried bricks, sand, wood chips ... and then they noticed Sima.

Sima stood not far from the gate with a briefcase in his hands, as if wondering where to go - home or to the guys.

- Ah, Sima! .. - Mishka shouted. - The sun is in the sky. Dry, look, - Mishka pointed to a large dried-up bald patch. - So what do you say?

“Maybe bring a pillow?” Tolik quipped.

The guys laughed, vying with each other offering their services: carpets, rugs and even straw, so that Sima would not be tough.

Sima stood a little in the same place and moved towards the guys. The conversations immediately ceased.

“Come on,” Sima said simply.

Mishka got up, wiped his wet hands on his pants, and threw off his coat.

- To the first blood or to the full force?

“To the fullest,” Sima answered not too loudly, but very decisively. This meant that he agreed to fight to the end, while the hands were raised, while the fingers were clenched into a fist. It doesn't matter if your nose bleeds or not. The one who says: "Enough, I give up ..." is considered defeated.

The boys stood in a circle. Sima hung his briefcase on the same nail with Mishka's bag, took off his coat, tied the scarf around his neck tighter.

Tolik slapped himself on the lower back and said: “Bam-m-m! Gong!"

The bear raised his fists to his chest, jumped around Sima. Sima also put out his fists, but everything showed that he did not know how to fight. As soon as Mishka approached, he put his hand forward, trying to reach Mishka's chest, and immediately got hit in the ear.

The guys thought that he would roar, run to complain, but Sima pursed his lips and waved his arms like a windmill. He was advancing. He kneaded the air with his fists. Sometimes his blows got Mishka, but he put his elbows under them.

Sima got another slap. Yes, such that he could not resist and sat on the asphalt.

- Well, maybe that's enough? Mishka asked peacefully.

Sima shook his head, got up and clapped his hands again.

Spectators during a fight are very worried. They jump up and down, wave their arms, and imagine that by doing so they are helping their friend.

- Bear, what are you doing today! .. Misha, give it!

- Bear-ah-ah ... Well!

- Sima, it's not for you to engage in sycophancy ... Misha-ah!

And only one of the guys suddenly shouted:

- Sima, hold on!.. Sima, give it to me! - It was Keshka shouting. - Why are you waving your hands? You beat...

The bear fought without much passion. Among the spectators there would be those ready to swear that Mishka felt sorry for Sima. But after Keshka's cry, Mishka puffed up and began to thrash so much that Sima bent over and only occasionally put out his hand to push the enemy away.

- Athas! Tolik suddenly shouted and was the first to rush into the doorway. Lyudmilka's mother hurried to the woodpile; Lyudmilka spoke a little further away. Noticing that the boys were running away, Lyudmilka's mother quickened her pace.

- I you, hooligans! ..

Mishka grabbed his coat and darted into the gateway, where all the spectators had already disappeared. Only Keshka did not have time. He hid behind the woodpile.

But Sima did not see or hear anything. He was still hunched over, stunned by the blows. And since Mishka's fists suddenly ceased to fall on him, he apparently decided that the enemy was tired, and hurried to the offensive. His first lunge hit Lyudmilka's mother in the side, the second in the stomach.

- What are you doing? she screeched. - Lyudochka, did this hooligan push you into a puddle?

“No, no,” Lyudmilka whined. - This is Sima, they beat him. And Mishka pushed. He ran into the alley.

Sima raised his head, looked around in confusion.

Why did they beat you, boy? Lyudmilka's mother asked.

“But they didn’t beat me at all,” Sima replied sullenly.

- But I myself saw how hooligans ...

- It was a duel. By all the rules ... And they are not hooligans at all. Sima put on his overcoat, removed his briefcase from the nail, and was about to leave.

But then Lyudmilka's mother asked:

- Whose bag is this?

- Mishkin! Lyudmila shouted. - We need to take it. The bear will then come.

Then Keshka jumped out from behind the woodpile, grabbed his bag and ran to the front door.

- Run after me! he called to Sima.

- This is Keshka - Mishkin's friend. Hooligan! .. - roared Lyudmilka.

In the front door, the boys took a breath, sat down on the step of the stairs.

– You are not very hurt?.. – asked Keshka.

- Not, no so much…

They sat a little longer, listening to Lyudmilka's mother threatening to go to Mishka's school, to Mishka's parents, and even to the police, to the anti-neglect department.

- You wanted to give this album to your teacher? Keshka suddenly asked.

Sim turned away.

- No, Maria Alekseevna. She has been retired for a long time. When I got sick, she found out and came. She studied with me for two months ... for free. I specially drew this album for her.

Keshka whistled. And in the evening he came to Mishka.

- Mishka, give Sima the album. This is when he was ill, so Maria Alekseevna worked with him ... for free ...

“I know it myself,” Mishka answered.

All evening he was taciturn, turned away, tried not to make eye contact. Keshka knew Mishka and knew that this was not without reason. And the next day, this is what happened.

Toward evening, Sima went out into the yard. He still walked with his head down and blushed when Mishka and Tolik jumped up to him. He probably thought that he would be called to fight again; yesterday no one gave up, and yet this matter must be brought to an end. But Mishka thrust his red wet hand into his.

- All right, Sima, peace.

“Let’s go with us to make a reservoir,” Tolik suggested. Don't be shy, we won't tease...

Sima's big eyes lit up, because it's nice for a person when Mishka himself looks at him as an equal and is the first to give a hand.

Give him the album! Keshka hissed into Mishka's ear.

The bear frowned and didn't answer.

The brick dam was leaking. The water in the reservoir did not hold. Rivers strove to run around him.

The guys froze, got smeared, even wanted to punch a channel in the asphalt. But they were prevented by a little old woman in a downy shawl.

She went up to Sima, meticulously examined his coat and scarf.

- Zip up, Sima! .. You will catch a cold again ... - Then she looked at him affectionately and added: - Thank you for the gift.

Sima blushed deeply and muttered, ashamed:

- Which present?..

- Album. - The old woman looked at the guys, as if convicting them of complicity, and solemnly said: - "Dear teacher Maria Alekseevna, a good person."

Sima blushed even more. He did not know where to go, he suffered.

I didn't write this...

- Wrote, wrote! Keshka suddenly clapped his hands. - He showed us this album, with ships ...

Mishka stood next to Sima, looked at the old woman and said in a hollow voice:

- Of course, he wrote ... Only he is shy of us - he thinks we will tease him with a toady. Freak!..

15.1 Write an essay-reasoning, revealing the meaning of the statement of the famous linguist Valentina Danilovna Chernyak: “Emotional-evaluative words include words that are associated with the expression of any feeling, attitude towards a person, assessment of the subject of speech, situations and communication”

The well-known linguist V. D. Chernyak writes about emotional-evaluative words, that they are associated with feelings, attitudes or evaluation. I think that such words help us understand the characters and the author's intention. For example, in the text of R.P. Pogodin, many such words are used. Let's say in sentence 13 Mishka says about Sim that he "got out". This word shows us Mishka's contemptuous attitude towards another hero. In sentence 16, he addresses Sima not by name, but very rudely: with the personal pronoun "you." Further, he calls Sima a sycophant, says that he is sucking up - this also shows us his rudeness and contempt.

Emotional and expressive words make a literary work more expressive.

15.2 Write an essay-reasoning. Explain how you understand the meaning of sentences 55-56 of the text: “The bear got up and began to take pictures from the guys. He collected all the sheets, put them back into the album"

In an excerpt from the work of R. P. Pogodin, we read about the relationship of children from the same yard. They did not like one of the boys, so they suspected him of various nasty things: for example, that he was a sycophant. Without understanding, they take away the album from Sima and sort out the pictures. Only after some time their "leader" Mishka suddenly realizes that the album was intended for an old teacher who no longer works at the school (this is stated in sentence 52). And from sentences 53 and 54 it becomes clear why Sima wanted to thank her: she helped him study during a serious illness. When Misha realized this, he felt ashamed, and he began to take pictures from the guys, put them back into the album. From sentences 67-75, we understand that the guys gave Maria Alekseevna the drawings that Sima made for her.

These words mean that Misha knew how to admit his mistakes and correct them.

15.3 How do you understand the meaning of the word CONSCIENCE? Formulate and comment on your definition. Write an essay-reasoning on the topic: “What is conscience?”, Taking the definition you gave as a thesis.

Conscience is the ability of a person to realize his wrong; it keeps from a bad deed or reproaches if a person has already done wrong.

In an excerpt from the work of R.P. Pogodin, Mishka took Sima's album with the drawings that he made for the teacher, but then Mishka realized that he was wrong. His conscience reproached him, and he decided to correct his mistake. I took the drawings from my friends and nevertheless handed them over to the teacher.

Both in life and in literature, we often encounter situations in which a person experiences pangs of conscience. For example, in the novel by A. S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" the protagonist severely judges himself for cowardice. Fearing public condemnation, Eugene went to a duel with a friend and accidentally killed him. Onegin punishes himself - sends him into exile.

Each person must act in accordance with the dictates of his conscience.

Nikitin fell back and felt the back seat cushion on the back of his head. She was cool and soft. He sat for a while with his eyes closed, then took his hands off the black circle of the steering wheel. He removed it carefully, as from the keys of a piano.

Vitaly! - called Nikitin, getting out of the cab. And once again: - Vitaly!

Darkness pressed in from all sides. My knees were shaking badly. Slowly shifting his legs, he took a few steps back.

Two ruts worn by the wheels darkened on the slope of a snowdrift. They climbed the blockage and ended there, cut off by a new landslide. The edge of the blockage still could not withstand the last jerk. And on the very edge, above the disastrous depth, howling with an icy wind, stood Vitalka - a small figure in the vast northern night.

Vital! What are you standing for? After all, they got out! - The driver choked on the burning air, ran up to Vitalka and grabbed him by the shoulders. - You are my dear! They got out, you know?

They broke out, Uncle Nikitin, - Vitalka answered like an echo.

Let's go to the cab, - said the driver. - You are my dear assistant ... I will definitely be your guest today.

In Chukotka, two thousand kilometers away, somewhere between the islands of Big and Small Diomede, the new year was already beginning.

Radiy Petrovich Pogodin

Sim from number four

The boy was tall and thin, with unreasonably long arms deep in his pockets. The head on a thin neck always leaned forward a little.

The guys called him Semaphore.

The boy has recently moved into this house. He went out into the courtyard in new shiny galoshes and, lifting his legs high, strode out into the street. When he passed by the guys, he lowered his head even lower.

Ish imagines! Mishka got angry. - He doesn’t want to know ... - But much more often Mishka shouted: - Semaphore, come here, let's talk!

The guys also shouted after the boy various mocking, and sometimes offensive words. The boy only quickened his pace. Sometimes, if the guys came close to him, he looked at them with blue, very large, clear eyes and silently blushed.

The guys decided that Semaphore was too good a nickname for such a squishy guy, and they began to call the boy simply Sima, and sometimes - to be sure - Sima from the fourth issue. And Mishka kept getting angry and grumbling at the sight of the boy:

We need to teach this goose a lesson. Walking here!

Once Sima disappeared and did not appear in the yard for a long time. A month or two passed ... Winter began to weaken and ruled the street only at night. During the day, a warm wind blew from the Gulf of Finland. The snow in the yard began to wrinkle, turned gray, turned into a wet, dirty mess. And in these spring-like warm days, Sima appeared again. His galoshes were as new as if he had never worn them at all. The neck is even more tightly wrapped with a scarf. Under his arm, he held a black sketchbook.

Sima looked at the sky, narrowed his eyes, as if weaned from the light, blinked. Then he went to the far corner of the yard, to someone else's front door.

Ege, Sima got out! .. - Mishka whistled in surprise. - Acquaintance, in any way, started.

Lyudmilka lived on the stairs where Sima went.

Sima went up to the front door and began to slowly pace back and forth, looking hesitantly into the dark opening of the stairs.

Waiting, - Krugly Tolik chuckled, - his Lyudmilka.

Or maybe not Lyudmilka at all, - put in Keshka. - Why should he mess with Lyudmilka?

Tolik looked at Keshka slyly, - they say, we know, they are not small, and said:

What is he doing there then? .. Maybe he breathes air? ..

Maybe, - agreed Keshka.

Mishka listened to them arguing, and thought about something.

It's time to act, - he suddenly intervened. - Let's go talk to this Sima.

Let's go, - Tolik supported.

Mishka and Kruglyi Tolik moved forward shoulder to shoulder. Keshka also joined them. At the decisive moment it is impossible to leave comrades - this is called honor. A few more guys joined the three friends. They walked on the sides and behind.

Noticing the army advancing on him, Sima raised his head, as always, blushed and smiled timidly.

What are you? .. - began Mishka. - What is it? .. Well, what?

Sima blushed even more. muttered:

Nothing... I'm going...

He, it turns out, walks, - Krugly Tolik laughed.

Mishka leaned forward, put his hands behind his back, turned sideways to Sima and spoke slowly, menacingly:

Maybe you don’t consider us as people?.. Yes?.. Maybe you are brave?..

Sima looked around at all the guys with his big eyes, slightly opened his mouth.

And what did I do to you?

But we are not going to beat you, we will always have time ... I say, let's exchange, let's go one on one ... Let's see what kind of ostrich you are so unusual that you don't want to approach us.

With you? Sima asked.

Mishka stuck out his lip and nodded.

Sima looked at his feet and quite unexpectedly objected:

So it's very dirty.

The guys laughed together. And Mishka looked Sima contemptuously from head to toe.

Maybe you can lay a Persian carpet?

Sima pressed the black album to himself, stamped his feet and asked:

Let's wait, but ... when will the sun be up?

When the guys laughed enough, Mishka stepped forward, pulled the album out of Simin's hands.

He needs the sun ... Well, let me see!

Sima turned pale, grabbed Mishka's hand, but the guys immediately pushed him back.

And Mishka has already opened the black calico cover.

On the first page of the album, in beautiful colored letters, it was written: "To the teacher Maria Alekseevna from Grigoriev Kolya."

Engaged in sycophancy… Clearly! - Misha said it in such a tone, as if he did not expect anything else.

Give the album back, - Sima asked the guys behind their backs. He tried to push the crowd, but the boys stood tight. Some laughed, and Mishka shouted:

You, sycophant, are not very good, otherwise I won’t even wait for the sun, I’ll let you have a portion of pasta on your neck!

Wow, great!..

The guys settled on Mishka.

Caravels, frigates, cruisers, submarines moved forward. Watercolor storms raged, typhoons… And one drawing even depicted a giant tornado. Sailors from a small boat hit the tornado from a cannon.

Keshka jumped up and down with delight. He pushed Mishka under the elbow, asked:

Mishka, give me a picture? .. Well, Mishka ...

Everyone forgot that the album belongs to Sima, they even forgot that Sima is standing next to it.

Mishka closed the album and looked over the guys' heads at the artist.

You, toady Sim, listen ... Let's act according to honor and conscience. So that you don't suck up to the teachers next time, we will distribute your pictures to anyone who wants to. It's clear? - And, without waiting for an answer, he shouted: - Well, come on! .. Beautiful pictures of marine life! ..

The pages in the album were bound with a white silk ribbon. Mishka unraveled the bow on the cover, crumpled up the first page with the inscription, and began handing out pictures.

Keshka received a four-pipe cruiser Varyag, a frigate with a black pirate flag. On the deck of the frigate, colorful little men with huge sabers and pistols ran ... He begged for another monkey on a palm tree and a high mountain with a white sugar top.

Having distributed all the pictures, Mishka approached Sima and pushed him in the chest.

Get out now!.. Do you hear?

Sima's lips trembled, he covered his eyes with his hands in gray knitted gloves and, shuddering, went to his stairs.

Follow the sun! Mishka called after him.
