Text for essay 15.3 “What is MOTHER’S LOVE?”

(1) Tolya didn’t like autumn. (2) He didn’t like it because the leaves were falling and “the sun shone less often,” and most of all because it often rained in the fall and his mother didn’t let him go outside.

(3) But then the morning came when all the windows were in winding water paths, and the rain was hammering and hammering something into the roof... (4) But mother did not keep Tolya at home, and even hurried her. (5) And Tolya felt that now he was very big: dad also went to work
in any weather!

(6) Mom took out an umbrella and a white raincoat from the closet, which Tolya secretly put on instead of a robe when he and the guys played doctors.

- (7) Where are you going? – Tolya was surprised.

- (8) I’ll accompany you.

- (9) Should I... see you off? (10) What are you?

(11) Mom sighed and put the prepared things back in the closet.

(12) Tolya really liked running to school in the rain. (13) Once he turned around and suddenly saw his mother on the other side of the street. (14) There were a lot of raincoats and umbrellas on the street, but he recognized his mother immediately. (15) And she, noticing that Tolya turned around, hid around the corner of an old two-story house.

(16) “Hiding!” – Tolya thought angrily. (17) And he ran even faster, so that his mother would not try to catch up with him.

(18) Near the school itself, he turned around again, but his mother was no longer there.

(19) “I’m back,” he thought with relief.

(20) At the ceremonial line, the students lined up by class. (21) The young teacher quickly brushed wet strands of hair from her face and shouted:

– (22) First “B”! (23) First “B”!

(24) Tolya knew that the first “B” was him. (25) The teacher took the children to the fourth floor.

(26) While still at home, Tolya decided that he would never sit at a desk with a girl. (27) But the teacher, as if jokingly, asked him:

- (28) You probably want to sit down with Chernova, right?

(29) And it seemed to Tolya that he really had always dreamed of sitting next to Chernova.

(30) The teacher opened the magazine and began roll call. (31) After roll call she said:

- (32) Orlov, please close the window.

(33) Tolya immediately jumped up and went to the window, but it was not easy for him to reach the handle. (34) He stood up and suddenly froze on tiptoe: outside the window he suddenly saw his mother. (35) She stood holding a folded umbrella in her hands, not paying attention to the rain that was dripping from her raincoat, and slowly ran her eyes along the school windows: mom probably wanted to guess in which class her Tolya was sitting.

(36) And then he could not get angry. (37) On the contrary, he wanted to lean out into the street, wave to his mother and shout loudly, so as not to be drowned out by the rain:

– (38) Don’t worry! (39) Don’t worry, mommy... (40) Everything is fine! (41) But he couldn’t shout, because shouting is not supposed to happen in class.(According to A. Aleksin)*

Finished essay 15.3 “MOTHER’S LOVE”

Maternal love is the love of a mother for her child, this is the most beautiful, pure, strong feeling. A mother's love is selfless, selfless, multifaceted. I will prove this with examples.

In the text by A.G. Aleksina’s mother, Tolya Orlova, is an example of maternal love. She, hiding from her son, quietly came to his ceremonial ceremony. Despite the rain and bad weather, she stood and held a folded umbrella in her hands, worried, worried about her child. This is multifaceted and selfless maternal love.

In fiction we come across many examples of maternal love. In N.V. Gogol’s work “Taras Bulba,” the mother of Andriy and Ostap loved her sons very much, she was incredibly happy about their return, and when she heard that they would soon leave, she cried all night, her heart foresaw trouble. After all, a mother always feels when something bad happens to her child. She had a hard time being separated from her sons.

Lately, Khurdin has often thought about Vikhlyaevskaya Mountain and his bicycle; and, thinking about the trip to his mother, he dreamed of fixing his old bicycle and going to Vikhlyaevskaya Mountain. They didn't say another word until they got home. And the closer they got, the more acutely Khurdin realized how long those five years of separation had been.

Composition

During life, a person has to deal with a large number of different emotions and feelings: some of this is temporary and fleeting, and some of it sits in the heart for a long time. However, nothing can ever compare with a mother’s feelings for her child. In his text, B. Ekimov invites us to think about the eternal problem of maternal love.

For the heart of a loving person, especially a mother, separation inflicts the deepest wound. The author introduces the reader to the story of the life of Khurdin, who returned home after five long years of absence, and draws our attention to the emotions with which his mother greeted him. The writer focuses on the sharpness and chaotic movements of the woman, thereby emphasizing her overwhelming joy and at the same time concern. At the moment of the meeting, she does not talk about herself at all, she only tries to express her intense excitement that has been eating her up all these years - but due to tears and overflowing with emotions, she could only bang her “light gray head on her son’s chest” in a frenzy. B. Ekimov leads us to the idea that five years of separation from her son was an endless period for this woman, and all the experiences that she experienced tortured her not only spiritually, but also physically.

Any separation from a loved one is accompanied by an abundance of moral and physical torture, but one year of separation between mother and son is equivalent to a decade. B. Ekimov believes that a mother’s heart is the embodiment of devotion, and love is the strongest and all-consuming feeling. And the less a mother knows about her child, the less often she sees him, the stronger and deeper her experiences.

I completely agree with the author’s thoughts and also believe that a mother’s love for her child is the most comprehensive, deepest and strongest feeling. It is no coincidence that writers and poets of all centuries sang and exalted it in their works, and it is no coincidence that this theme soon turned into an eternal one - on a par with love for one’s Fatherland.

For example, A.S. Pushkin in the story “The Captain's Daughter”, with the help of the farewell episode, very succinctly and deeply showed Avdotya Vasilievna’s love for Petrusha. The mother, having learned that her son was leaving for service for a long time, was shocked and depressed by this news so much that she “dropped the spoon into the saucepan, and tears flowed down her face.” Avdotya Vasilyevna also cried while saying goodbye to her son, wishing Petrusha health through her tears, because nothing could be worse than this parting for a mother’s heart.

The problem of maternal love was also raised by D.I. Fonvizin in the play "The Minor". He describes the main character as a stupid, hypocritical woman, a rude and mercantile wife, an evil and cruel landowner, but Prostakova’s love for Mitrofanushka is immense and sincere so much that it can, to some extent, even obscure many of the shortcomings of this heroine. However, unfortunately, Prostakova showered love on her son so much that he became fed up with this feeling and stopped appreciating it. At that moment when the heroine encountered Mitrofanushka’s betrayal, when she finally saw his neglect and rudeness, she was not just upset, she had the feeling that her heart was torn to pieces, and at the same time came the realization that her son, whom she so loves and cherishes him very much, grew up to be a bad person, unable to appreciate her love and care.

Summarizing the above, we can conclude that nothing can be stronger than a mother’s love for her child - this is the brightest, strongest and most sincere feeling. This is why we should protect and love our mothers, no matter what - because we are the meaning of their lives.

Option 1

In my opinion, this is the strongest feeling in the world, based on support, affection, care and, of course, warmth. We can also say that this is the kind of love that does not require anything in return, does not require making a choice - me or him. I believe that one of the main components of maternal love is care. It is thanks to the care coming from the mother that every child feels protected, needed, and, above all, loved... However, sometimes the mother’s love is, no matter how strange it may seem, excessive, harmful to the child. I will prove my position with examples from the text of Anatoly Georgievich Aleksin and life experience.

To prove my point of view, I will turn to Anatoly Nekrasov’s work “Mother’s Love,” which shows love that harms the child and brings suffering to parents, children and society as a whole. After reading this book, the reader will, without a doubt, reconsider his views on life and, perhaps, in the future, approaching the issue of education seriously and responsibly, will make the right choice...

I think I have proven that maternal love is, first of all, the need for care, protection and help to those who need this support, to those who cannot yet exist independently in this world. Mother's love, based on mercy, compassion, kindness and tolerance, helps to develop the strongest sides of a little person. However, the mother must understand that her excessive love can cripple the child’s life.

Option 2

What is mother's love? This is the purest, sincerest and strongest love. This is free love. After all, a mother loves her child, not because he did something, but because it is her child. I believe that mother's love is not only love for her child, but also for other children. This is explained by the fact that a mother’s heart is like a bottomless cup of tenderness, care, attention, in which there is room for love for all children.

I would also like to recall the poem “Heart” by D. Kedrin that I recently read. A Cossack, having cut his mother's chest with a blade, brings the girl a mother's heart as a gift. But on the porch he fell, and his mother’s heart fell out of her hands. But despite everything, the mother’s heart asked her son if he had hurt himself. This act of the “heart” shows the enormous power of mother’s love: she forgave him.

Thus, we have proven the enormous “size” of mothers’ hearts, in which there is a place not only for their own children, but also for other people’s children who need their maternal help. We realized that a mother's love is limitless.

Option 3

"What is mother's love?" - you ask. In my opinion, maternal love is the boundless, strong, all-conquering love of a mother for her child. She will always help him, take care of him, listen to his son and daughter with understanding, and support him in his endeavors. For every child, a mother is the support of their entire life.

Maternal love is the boundless love of a mother for her child: she gives him her tenderness, kindness, and affection. His mother always understands him, will support him in difficult times, and will never betray him. For him, she is the support of his whole life.

As a second argument confirming the thesis, I will take an example from life experience. Once I read a legend about two mounds. What struck me most was the son’s attitude towards his mother. He had a wife who did not love his mother. When the girl asked the hero to bring the heart of his mother, he was able to kill her, but, carrying her heart in his hand, he could not stand it, cried and regretted his terrible act. And the love of a mother who wished well for her son performed a miracle: “the heart came to life, the torn chest closed, the mother stood up and pressed her son’s curly head to her chest.” What struck me most about this legend was the boundless mother’s love: after everything her son did, she forgave him.

Thus, I proved that maternal love is a huge force, creative, creative, inspiring. She is capable of working miracles, reviving life, saving from dangerous diseases...

The theme of maternal love in Russian literature.

“She sincerely, maternally loves her son, loves him only because she gave birth to him, that he is her son, and not at all because she sees glimpses of human dignity in him.” (V.G. Belinsky.)

Speaking about the theme of maternal love in Russian literature, I would like to immediately note that in the works of Russian classics the image of the mother is usually not given the main place; the mother, as a rule, occupies a secondary position, and most often is completely absent. But, despite the fact that writers paid little attention to this topic, the image of the mother in different writers at different times and in different works is endowed with some common features. We will consider them.

The first work studied at school in which the image of a mother appears is Fonvizin’s comedy “The Minor,” written in 1782. The play is aimed at ridiculing the morals and lifestyle of the Prostakov family, but despite the whole set of negative qualities, a bright feeling still lives in Mrs. Prostakova. She dotes on her son. The play begins with the manifestation of care for Mitrofanushka, and this care and love lives in her until the last appearance of the play. Prostakova’s last remark ends with a cry of despair: “I don’t have a son!” It was painful and difficult for her to endure the betrayal of her son, to whom she herself admitted that “she sees consolation only in him.” Her son is everything to her. How furious she gets when she finds out that her uncle almost beat Mitrofanushka! And already here we see the main features of the image of a mother in Russian literature - this is an unaccountable love for her child and not for personal qualities (we remember what Mitrofan was like), but because he is her son.

In “Woe from Wit” (1824), Griboyedov’s mother appears in only one episode. The fussy Princess Tugoukhovskaya with the no less fussy six princesses came to Famusov. This fuss is connected with the search for the groom. Griboyedov paints the scene of their search brightly and funny, and in Russian literature such an image of the mother will subsequently become popular, especially in Ostrovsky's plays. This is Agrafena Kondratyevna in “Our People – We Will Be Numbered”, and Ogudalova in “Dowry”. In this case, it is difficult to talk about the love of a mother for her daughter, since it is pushed into the background by worries about marriage, so we will again return to the topic of mother’s love for her son.

In The Captain's Daughter and Taras Bulba, both Pushkin and Gogol show a mother at the moment of separation from her children. Pushkin, in one sentence, showed the state of the mother at the moment when she learns about the impending departure of her son: “The thought of an imminent separation from me struck her so much that she dropped the spoon into the saucepan, and tears streamed down her face,” and when Petrusha leaves, she “ in tears he punishes him to take care of his health. Gogol has exactly the same image of his mother. In “Taras Bulba” the author describes in detail the emotional shock of the “old woman”. Only having met her sons after a long separation, she is again forced to part with them. She spends the whole night at their bedside and feels with her mother’s heart that this night is the last time she sees them. Gogol, describing her condition, gives the correct description of any mother: “... for every drop of their blood she would give herself all.” Blessing them, she cries uncontrollably, just like Petrusha’s mother. Thus, using the example of two works, we see what parting with her children means for a mother and how difficult it is for her to bear it.

In Goncharov’s work “Oblomov” we are faced with two characters who are opposite in character and lifestyle. Oblomov is a lazy person, not doing anything, not adapted to activity, but, as his best friend himself says about him, “he is a crystal, transparent soul; there are few such people...”, Stolz himself is an unusually active and energetic person, he knows everything, can do everything, learns something all the time, but is spiritually undeveloped. And Goncharov in the chapter “Oblomov’s Dream” gives us the answer to the question of how this happened. It turns out that they were brought up in different families, and if the mother took the main part in Oblomov’s upbringing, for whom it was first of all important that the child was well and nothing threatened him, then the father took on Stolz’s upbringing. German by origin, he kept his son under strict discipline, Stolz’s mother was no different from Oblomov’s mother, she also worried about her son and tried to take part in his upbringing, but the father took on this role, and we got a prim but lively Andrei Stolts and the lazy but sincere Oblomov.

The image of a mother and her love in Dostoevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment” are incredibly touchingly depicted. The mother of Rodion and Dunya Raskolnikov, Pulcheria Alexandrovna, throughout the entire novel tries to arrange the happiness of her son, tries to help him, sacrificing even Dunya for his sake. She loves her daughter, but she loves Rodion more, and she fulfills her son’s request not to trust anyone, so that they don’t talk about him. She felt in her heart that her son had done something terrible, but she did not miss the opportunity to once again tell even a passerby that Rodion was a wonderful person, and began to tell how he saved children from a fire. She did not lose faith in her son until the last, and how hard this separation was for her, how she suffered not receiving news about her son, she read his article, did not understand anything and was proud of her son, because this is his article, his thoughts, and they were published, and this is another reason to justify my son.

Speaking about maternal love, I would like to talk about its absence. Konstantin from Chekhov’s “The Seagull” writes plays, “looks for new forms,” is in love with a girl, and she reciprocates his feelings, but he suffers from a lack of maternal love and wonders about his mother: “loves, does not love.” He regrets that his mother is a famous actress and not an ordinary woman. And he remembers his childhood with sadness. At the same time, it cannot be said that Konstantin is indifferent to his mother. Arkadina is horrified and worried about her son when she finds out that he tried to shoot himself, personally puts a bandage on him and asks him not to do that again. This woman chose a career over raising her son, and without maternal love it’s hard for a person, a striking example of which is Kostya, who eventually shot himself.

Using the example of the above works, images and heroes, we can conclude that mother and maternal love in Russian literature are, first of all, affection, care and unaccountable love for the child, no matter what. This is the person who is attached to his child with his heart and is able to feel him at a distance, and if this person is absent, then the hero will no longer become a harmonious person.

We analyzed many texts to prepare for the Unified State Exam in the Russian language and identified common patterns in the formation of problems. For each of them we have selected examples from the literature. All of them are available for download in table format, link at the end of the article.

1. For a loved one, it doesn’t matter what you look like or how you behave, he will love you no matter what. A mother's love is a great force. In the work D. Ulitskaya “Daughter of Bukhara” Alya, having learned about her daughter’s terrible diagnosis, does not abandon her. On the contrary, a loving mother spends all her strength for the benefit of her child. Together they go through many difficulties. Alone, left without a husband, Bukhara quits her job and gets a job at a school for retarded children, so that she can always be with Milochka. Soon Alya falls ill and knows that it is fatal. However, during this time she tries to arrange her daughter’s life in the best possible way and does not calm down until Mila gets married. Only in her happiness does she find peace.
2. Children are the most precious thing a woman has. Therefore, mother's love is omnipotent. Losing a child is the worst tragedy in a parent's life. In the epic novel L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace" the grief of a woman who lost her son in the war is shown. Countess Rostova learns about the death of her beloved Petya and seems to lose her mind after this. Her heart foresaw a tragedy; she did not want to let her son go to serve. But, due to his youth, Petya did not know what war was. He dreamed of becoming a hero. However, this was not destined to come true, and he dies in the first battle. Having received terrible news, the Countess locks herself in the room, screams and calls her son. Life is no longer important to her. During the month spent in this grief, the once beautiful woman becomes an old woman. And only through the efforts of her daughter does she leave the room. However, without her son, her life will no longer be the same.

The role of the mother in the life of the child

1. “Mom” is the first word that almost every child says. But not everyone is lucky enough to feel the affection and care of the one whom they so wanted to call to themselves. Main character poems by M.Yu. Lermontov "Mtsyri" was taken from home as a child. He knew that somewhere far away he had a family, he remembered how his mother nursed him. But the war deprived him of all this. The Russian officer took him away, but left him in the monastery when he became afraid that the prisoner would die without surviving the difficult journey. Trying to fill the void in his heart, the matured Mtsyri escapes from his cold prison. He dreams of finding his family and finally feeling warmth and care. However, realizing that the past cannot be returned, he dies. And yet, it was the memory of his parents’ home that made the young man recognize himself and rebel against the slow torture of imprisonment within the monastery walls. He accepts death with gratitude, because life in slavery is much worse. The young man made this leap to freedom only thanks to the power of the memory of his origin, his family, his mother.
2. Mom cannot be replaced. Just as you cannot give the same love that your loved one gives you. Yes, in the story Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" we see the life of a boy left without a mother. Yes, he is being raised by his aunt. However, she will never be able to perceive Tom as her son, and the boy feels it. He runs away from home on purpose. The lack of maternal love also affects his character: a tomboy who does not feel cared for and is not ready to work for someone.

The ingratitude of a child

1. The main character of the story E. Karpova “My name is Ivan” I couldn’t understand in time the power of mother’s love. Semyon is wounded in the war, and after such a terrible event he decides not to return home. Aged, blind and weak, he tries to live out his warped life. Accidentally recognizing him by his voice on the train, Semyon’s mother rushes to him, but he pushes away his once dear woman and calls himself by a different name. Only after a while does he realize what happened. However, it will be too late. Only standing at his mother’s grave does he understand everything.
2. Sometimes we realize the importance of mother in our lives too late. I find confirmation of my thought in the work of K. G. Paustovsky “Telegram”. The main character, Katerina Petrovna, has not seen her daughter for three years. Her mother wrote letters to her and dreamed of meeting her again. Nastya lived her own life, sometimes sending “dry” letters and some money. But Katerina Petrovna was happy about that too. Before her death, she kept dreaming of seeing her daughter for the last time. But this was not destined to come true. Nastya learned about her mother’s poor condition only from Tikhon’s telegram. However, it was already too late. The woman was buried by complete strangers. And only at her mother’s grave did Nastya realize that she had lost the dearest person in the world, without ever expressing her gratitude.

Love for mother

1. We must respect and appreciate what mothers do for us. They are always on our side and give us all their love. The great poet understands this too S.A. Yesenin. In a poem "Letter to Mother" he addresses his “old lady” with tenderness. The son wants to protect his own woman, who is worried about rumors and news about his bad behavior. He approaches this conversation with caution and assures with all care that there is nothing to worry about. He asks not to bring up the past and not to be so sad about it. Yesenin understands that it is not easy for a mother to accept when evil things are said about her child. And yet he tries to assure his mother that everything will be fine.
2. It is a joy for a mother to see her child happy. After all, she is partly responsible for his fate. In a poem A. Pavlov-Bessonovsky “Thank you, mommy” The author understands how important a mother is in life. He begins his work with words of gratitude for life, for warmth and comfort, for love. The poet is so filled with a feeling of gratitude that a distinct “thank you” is heard through every line of the poem.

Excessive maternal love

1. The upbringing of parents often influences the future fate of the child. The mother plays a very important role here. In the comedy D.I. Fonvizin "Minor" readers see an example where a mother’s excessive love harms her son’s future. Mitrofan is a kind of adult child. He is lazy, ill-mannered and selfish. The hero does not see the benefit of communicating with other people politely. The upbringing of the mother, who always indulged her son in everything, played a big role in this. She never forced him to do anything, always protected him from danger, and encouraged any of his undertakings. However, in the end, such an overly loving attitude turned against Mrs. Prostakova. At the end of the play, the boy refuses his own mother and pushes her away.
2. Mom is the person who should always give love and protect us. But sometimes incorrect parenting methods can ruin a person’s destiny. For example, in the play “The Thunderstorm” by A.N. Ostrovsky the main character is a weak-willed, spineless person. The merchant's wife, Marfa Kabanova, keeps her family, especially her son, in fear and tension. She manages everything in the house and controls the lives of her children. In a toga, her son, Tikhon, cannot resist his mother’s word. He is unable to protect either his wife or himself. The hero becomes an alcoholic and tries to run away from home under any pretext. As a result, he loses his wife and blames his mother for all his sins.
