arguments for writing

An example of true love of life is

Gaiety, sincerity, joy simply from the fact that you live - the main components of her character. This is what Prince Andrei noticed in her, who came to Otradnoye on business with Natasha's father, Count Rostov. The eyes of the prince, who communicated with adults, involuntarily searched for Natasha, either playing hide and seek, or running merrily across the meadow. He did not understand the reason for her joy. Later, accidentally overhearing Natasha's conversation with Sonya about how beautiful summer night that this had never happened before and that I wanted to endlessly admire her, Andrey realized that all the joy of a young girl lies in the fact that she endlessly loves life. She loves just like that, only because she is alive, healthy, can see the sun and stars and enjoy every moment allotted to her. It is after this night begins new stage in the life of Prince Bolkonsky, when he also wanted to

can serve as an example of love for life. This is Platon Karataev, who for Pierre Bezukhov became the personification of everything "Russian, kind, round." It was in him that the writer concluded the wisdom of a simple peasant life, her philosophy. Karataev expresses his thoughts in the form of parables. So, for example, in the parable of an innocently condemned merchant who suffers for himself and for others. The meaning of this parable lies in a simple idea: to humble yourself and enjoy life in spite of everything. The hero himself, while in captivity, seems to have come to terms with his position, does not resist anything, does not fall into despair, on the contrary, he constantly helps other prisoners, encouraging them both in word and deed.

On the way to the hospital, Sashka, who was seriously wounded in battle, met Zhora, also wounded, hungry, but, despite this, endlessly admiring the sun, and young grass, and singing birds. He tells Sasha that the main thing is that they came out alive from that meat grinder in which so many laid down their heads. And now they are “coming to life”, and the devastation around is only temporary, all this can be corrected, because everything is ahead. According to the plot, Zhora dies right there, on the way to the hospital, blown up by a mine in the field, where he went to admire the snowdrop. And although he was Sashka's companion for a very short time, the main character left after his death a feeling of longing and discomfort, because Zhora managed to infect him with his sincere love of life.

The problems captured in the headlines are, so to speak, the direction for writing on the Unified State Examination in the Russian language.

It is unacceptable to build life on the basis of exclusively personal desires, because the life task of people is much wider. It is in their power to change and transform the world into better side, create something new and share it with others. The more you give, the more you get in return. “The greatest goal in life is to increase the good in those around us.

Obsessed with the search for bliss, they are still limited by spiritual lack of freedom, misunderstanding own life in which they feel dissatisfied and lonely. However, happiness is what each of them unconsciously strives for, wanting to experience or regain a sense of complete satisfaction for the first time. For Ranevskaya, Gaev, Lopatin and other characters in the play, the search for the good is closely connected with the contradictions of the past and the present, with the impossibility of finding it due to internal and external circumstances, the fragility of desires and goals.

And only Matryona retains spiritual purity and joy of life, despite the fact that many trials fell to her lot: the loss of loved ones, hard work, illness. The heroine finds solace in her work. Hardships and hardships do not make her callous and cruel, on the contrary, her happiness lies in the desire to be needed, to help people, to give everything without demanding anything in return.

Happiness is felt with the heart, and, as a rule, it is found in simple human joys.

Imaginary happiness

1. In the story of A.P. Chekhov "Gooseberry" the problem of happiness is by no means solved through selfless service to one's neighbor. Obviously, to each his own! Nikolai Ivanovich Chimsh-Gimalayan has everything he dreamed of for so long: own house in the village, a carefree landowner's life without labor and worries, and most importantly - gooseberries, which the hero eats everything free time. But such a simplified happiness is false: spending time in idleness, Nikolai Ivanovich launches himself, loses moral character ceases to live a full spiritual life. And besides, he paid too dearly for such a seemingly simple joy: he married a rich widow, whom he later brought to death. Avarice and pettiness became the main components of his character. Having become rich, he became satisfied, but lost the opportunity to find true inner harmony, immeasurable by material units.
2. Akaki Akakievich Bashmachkin, the hero of the story by N.V. Gogol's "Overcoat"- a small and ordinary person. He does not need much: he reverently and responsibly performs his penny work, lives from hand to mouth, but, in essence, is quite satisfied with fate. The usual course of its existence violates the need to buy a new overcoat. Bashmachkin's reverent attitude to his acquisition is so great that the long-awaited new thing occupies all his thoughts, subjugates all his actions and impulses. An ordinary thing becomes the meaning of life and the happiness of this little man obsessed with the material component of being. Bashmachkin perceives such a miserable existence as happy until random robbers take away his favorite overcoat from him.

Each of them understands happiness in his own way: Bolkonsky seeks it in military triumphs and glory, Pierre in knowing and accepting himself, Helen Kuragina in a marriage of convenience. Many of the characters, faced with the conventions of society and simply life's difficulties, change their beliefs, abandon those views and aspirations with which they were full on early stages own life. Their ideas about happiness are also changing: Pierre finds joy only after meeting Natasha, Bolkonsky is disappointed in the idea of ​​a feat in the name of glory, finds true joy in love and compassion for one's neighbor. The author's position in the novel is obvious: the answer to the question of happiness is individual for each person. It all depends on the degree of openness of the soul, its readiness to know and accept the other.

Is it possible to be happy at the expense of others?

1. In the story of A.S. Pushkin " Captain's daughter» The path to the long-awaited happiness became a difficult test for the heroes, in which not only their mutual feelings, but the personal qualities of each of their characters were tested for strength.

Shvabrin is an exceptional character in his goals and actions. His path to happiness lies through betrayal and lies. He proposes to Masha, but is refused, so he seeks to denigrate her in the eyes of Peter in order to stop their mutual inclination. Not having achieved what he wants, he goes to betrayal and goes over to the side of the enemy out of spiritual cowardice and personal motives. He tries to get what he wants by resorting to deceit and threats, which means he chooses an erroneous and unworthy path, shameful for a real person.

To become happy, he needs wealth and recognition of society, so he begins to care for Famusov's daughter, Sofya. But sincere feelings the hero does not feel for her, but only uses her to achieve his mercantile goal. The path to happiness for him lies through servility, humiliation and flattery. However, his cunning plan becomes public knowledge, and Molchalin is defeated.
3. IN novel by F. M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment" the heroes also try to build their own happiness, but in an attempt to figure out what it consists of, each of them faces a number of difficulties. Raskolnikov, Sonya, Svidrigailov, Marmeladov and other characters are trying to understand and accept life. Rodion cognizes her through the prism of his vague theory, Sonya sees her path in sacrificial and selfless help to her neighbor. Court adviser Pyotr Luzhin wants to achieve high position in society.

Therefore, Luzhin wants to marry Dunya Raskolnikova. By taking a poor girl as his wife, he hopes thereby to acquire a devoted and grateful servant to him. In this understanding of happiness, the pettiness, prudence and soulful meanness of the hero, unable to do good deeds from pure heart.

The unattainability of happiness

1. Main character novel by A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" escapes boredom in the countryside. Tired of secular life, he is trying to find new meanings away from the society he hates. But Onegin fails to escape from himself. He kills his friend Lensky in a duel, rejects Tatyana's Love, and all because selfishness and spiritual cowardice make him unable to take responsibility for another person. Despite this, Eugene is a noble and deep personality, eager to fill his life with worthy goals, to find a justification for his own existence. But in his search for happiness, he encounters its ultimate unattainability. Having met Tatyana at the ball, whose love he once rejected, the hero falls in love, but he is no longer able to make the girl happy. For Onegin himself, the opportunity to be happy is irretrievably lost.
2. IN novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time" the problem of the ultimate unattainability of happiness is one of the main ones. Grigory Pechorin is an outstanding personality, strong, active, but initially deprived of the opportunity to be happy, due to his isolation from the rest of society, insolvency and helplessness in the face of life. Pechorin wants to find happiness, trying to find it in books, in war, in communication with other people. But constantly rejected by others, the hero becomes hardened and disappointed in the search. Realizing once that happiness is unattainable for him, he does not value life at all, living it as he has to. Due to the natural human weakness he still unconsciously reaches out to people, each time hoping to find love and understanding. But deep down he is still alone. The search for happiness becomes for him a constant, but meaningless exercise, doomed to failure.

Ivan Timofeevich, who accidentally drove into the wilderness, meets charming girl leading a solitary life away from people.

But severity real world with its conventions and limitations, it violates the idyllic existence of the characters. The inhabitants of the nearby village, accustomed to living a primitive, traditional life, reject Olesya for being different from them. The sincere love of the characters turns out to be powerless in the struggle between sublime happiness and cruel and merciless reality.
4. V.G. Korolenko in his essay "Paradox" very ambiguously outlined the problem of happiness. "Paradox" is a philosophical parable that reveals to the reader the relativity of happiness, its ultimate unattainability. In the center of the story is a boy from a wealthy family. Together with his brother, they often spend time in the garden, having fun and playing. One day, many people come to their yard, begging. In order to earn a living, they demonstrate unusual tricks to a curious public. One of them is Jan Krystof Załuski. From birth, he has no arms, and the body itself is devoid of proportions. The paradox of the hero is that, despite the physical illness, he preaches the philosophy of the joy of life. A person for whom happiness, it would seem, is unattainable, talks about it as an invariable component human destiny. “Man is created for happiness, like a bird for flight,” says Załuski. By his sudden appearance he taught the children important lesson. However, at the end of the story, the hero ends the aphorism expressed earlier: “But happiness, alas, is not given to everyone.” This, in his opinion, is the inconsistency of existence: a person desperately strives for harmony and joy, but he is not able to achieve absolute happiness.

Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger de Saint-Exupery(1900, Lyon, France - July 31, 1944) - famous French writer, poet and professional pilot.

A. de Saint-Exupery "The Little Prince". The Old Fox taught the Little Prince to comprehend the wisdom of human relationships. To understand a person, one must learn to peer into him, to forgive minor flaws. After all, the most important thing is always hidden inside, and you can’t see it right away.

This is the story of the accidental landing of the writer himself and his mechanic Prevost in the desert.
The symbol of life - water, quenches the thirst of people lost in the sands, the source of everything that exists on earth, the food and flesh of everyone, the substance that makes it possible to resurrect.
The dehydrated desert is a symbol of a world devastated by war, chaos, destruction, human callousness, envy and selfishness. This is a world in which a person dies of spiritual thirst.

The rose is a symbol of love, beauty, femininity. The little prince did not immediately see the true inner essence of beauty. But after talking with the Fox, the truth was revealed to him - beauty only becomes beautiful when it is filled with meaning, content.

“Love does not mean looking at each other, it means looking in the same direction” - this thought defines ideological concept fairy tales.

He considers the topic of Evil in two aspects: on the one hand, it is “micro evil”, that is, evil inside a single person. This is the deadness and inner emptiness of the inhabitants of the planets, which personify everything human vices. And it is no coincidence that the inhabitants of the planet Earth are characterized through the inhabitants of the planets seen by the Little Prince. By this, the author emphasizes how petty and dramatic the contemporary world is. He believes that humanity, like the Little Prince, will comprehend the secret of being, and each person will find his guiding star that will illuminate his life path. The second aspect of the theme of evil can be conditionally called "macro-evil". Baobabs are a spiritualized image of evil in general. One of the interpretations of this metaphorical image is connected with fascism. Saint-Exupery wanted people to carefully uproot the evil “baobabs” that threatened to tear the planet apart. “Beware of the baobabs!” - conjures the writer.

Saint-Exupery urges us to treat everything beautiful as carefully as possible and try not to lose it in the difficult life path beauty within yourself - the beauty of the soul and heart.
The Little Prince learns the most important thing about the beautiful from the Fox. Outwardly beautiful, but empty inside, roses do not evoke any feelings in a contemplative child. They are dead to him. The protagonist discovers the truth for himself, the author and readers - only that which is filled with content and deep meaning is beautiful.

Misunderstanding, alienation of people is another important philosophical theme. The deadness of the human soul leads to loneliness. A person judges others only by the “outer shell”, not seeing the main thing in a person - his inner moral beauty: “When you say to adults: “I saw beautiful house made of pink bricks, it has geraniums in the windows, and pigeons on the roofs, ”they can’t imagine this house in any way. They need to be told: “I saw a house for a hundred thousand francs,” and then they exclaim: “What a beauty!”
People must take care of the cleanliness and beauty of their planet, jointly protect and decorate it, and prevent all living things from perishing. So, gradually, unobtrusively, another important topic arises in the fairy tale - ecological, which is very relevant for our time. The journey of the Little Prince from star to star brings us closer to today's vision of space, where the Earth, through the negligence of people, can disappear almost imperceptibly.
Love And another secret is revealed by the Fox to the baby: “Only the heart is vigilant. You won’t see the most important thing with your eyes... Your Rose is so dear to you because you gave her all your soul... People have forgotten this truth, but don’t forget: you are forever responsible for everyone you tamed.” To tame means to bind oneself to another being with tenderness, love, a sense of responsibility. To tame means to destroy the facelessness and indifferent attitude towards all living things. To tame means to make the world significant and generous, for everything in it reminds of a beloved being. The narrator also comprehends this truth, and for him the stars come to life, and he hears the ringing of silver bells in the sky, reminiscent of the laughter of the Little Prince. The theme of “expansion of the soul” through love runs throughout the tale.

Only friendship can melt the ice of loneliness and alienation, as it is based on mutual understanding, mutual trust and mutual assistance.
“It's sad when friends are forgotten. Not everyone has a friend,” says the hero of the tale. At the beginning of the tale, the Little Prince leaves his only Rose, then he leaves his new friend Fox on Earth. “There is no perfection in the world,” the Fox will say. But on the other hand, there is harmony, there is humanity, there is a person’s responsibility for the work entrusted to him, for the person close to him, there is also responsibility for his planet, for everything that happens on it.
Exupery wants to say that each person has his own planet, his own island and his own guiding star, which a person should not forget. “I would like to know why the stars shine,” the little prince said thoughtfully. “Probably so that sooner or later everyone can find their own again.”

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy ---1828 --- 1910 Novel "War and Peace"

Pierre (Tolstoy "V. and the World") was helped to survive in captivity by the wisdom of Platon Karataev, who taught him to live simply and appreciate what you have: the sun is shining, the rain is coming - everything is good. No need to rush, rush about in search of happiness - live and rejoice, be happy that you live. He found with everyone mutual language even with the French.

On the example of Pierre Bezukhov and Platon Karataev L. N. Tolstoy showed two completely different types Russian characters, two different social heroes.
The first of them is the count, who was captured by the French as an "arsonist" and, miraculously, escaped execution. The second is a simple, wise, patient soldier. However, the soldier Platon Karataev managed to play exclusively important role in the life of Pierre Bezukhov.
After the execution of the "arsonists", which Pierre became an eyewitness, "in his soul, it was as if the spring on which everything rested was pulled out, and everything fell into a heap of senseless rubbish. Faith in the improvement of the world was destroyed in him, and in human soul, and into God.
The meeting in the booth with Platon Karataev helped Pierre's spiritual revival: "He felt that the previously destroyed world was now being erected in his soul with new beauty, on some new and unshakable foundations." Karataev made a huge impression on Pierre with his behavior, common sense, the expediency of actions, the ability to "do everything not very well, but not badly either." For Pierre, he became "an incomprehensible, round and eternal personification of the spirit of simplicity and truth."
Bezukhov, who endured severe suffering and the fear of death, finds himself in another world. He sees how Karataev neatly arranged all his "household" in the corner, how a little dog ran up to him and began to caress. The soldier spoke of something very simple, began mumbling prayers. All these everyday words and deeds in those conditions seemed to Pierre a miracle, a great discovery of the truth of life. Pierre felt the new beauty of the recently destroyed world, received “calmness and contentment with himself”: “And he, without thinking about it, received this calm and this agreement with himself only through the horror of death, through deprivation and through what he understood in Karataev".
Karataev feels himself a part of the people: ordinary soldiers, the peasantry. His wisdom is contained in numerous proverbs and sayings, behind each of which an episode of Plato's life is guessed. For example, "where there is judgment, there is untruth." He suffered from an unfair trial, and is forced to serve in the army. However, Plato takes any twists of fate calmly, he is ready to sacrifice himself for the well-being of the family. Karataev loves every person, every living creature: he is affectionate with an ordinary stray dog, helps other prisoners, sews shirts for the French and sincerely admires his work.
Platon Karataev becomes for Pierre an example of the perception of another world, where simplicity and truth, love for humanity dominate.
The relationship between Platon Karataev and Pierre Bezukhov did not develop for long in the novel. Due to the aggravated illness, the French shot Karataev.
The soldier quietly passed away, and Pierre took Karataev's death calmly, as a matter of course.
Plato appeared next to Pierre, like a savior, at the most difficult moment of his life and left casually. But, despite this, his personality is so outstanding and the influence on the fate of Pierre is so great that Karataev cannot be ranked simply as episodic heroes novel.
Not without reason, years later, Pierre often recalled him, thought about what Plato would say about this or that event, "would approve or disapprove." The meeting of these two heroes largely determined further fate Count Pierre Bezukhov and showed the greatest wisdom Russian people, embodied in the guise of a soldier Platon Karataev

Composition

There are moments in life when everything falls into a heap: unfinished work crushes, some obligations seem unbearable, the weather is annoying, you don’t want to see friends, relatives ... Why, you won’t look in the mirror once again. But it happens differently: you rejoice that a new morning has come, you are grateful to every ray of the sun that looked into your window, to every drop of rain that fell from a gloomy spring cloud. What defines human joy? What helps a person to enjoy life? It is these questions that arise after reading the text of I. Novikov.

The main problem posed by the author in this text, - the problem of the source of joy. It is not difficult to see that, growing up, many people stop enjoying life in the way that children can do. But joy is a great charge of energy and positive, so necessary for a person to fully function.

The position of the author is clear. He thinks that only happy man can rejoice in everything that surrounds him, in everything good times that life gives us, not noticing unpleasant little things, not allowing ourselves to become "an integral part of the dreary bad weather."

Despite the heavy, overcast beginning, the text can be called expressive and emotional. The writer uses a variety of means of expression. He easily conveys all the melancholy of his attitude with the help of gloomy metaphors (“wrapped in dirty gray bandages of morning drizzle”), flavored with the same dull epithets (“doomed-sour half-smile”, “stupefyingly gray, radiculite dusk”). And we adopt the joyful, life-affirming character of a friendly family with the help of homogeneous predicates(“circling, clapping, laughing”).

It is impossible not to agree with the author. A person who can see beauty in small things is really rich. Such a person does not need to look for ways to entertain himself, to please him - he does it so well. Not someone for us, but we ourselves take away the joy of life, focusing on the negative aspects.

Thus, we can come to the conclusion that there are many reasons for joy, you just need to learn how to detect them. And then everything will be fine.
