Epigraphs to themes about war and heroism

A man called to greatness exploits of a certain kind, from his youth he secretly feels this within himself and works in this direction.

In the earliest childhood, heroic feelings should already be laid, setting the soul on feat love and nobility. And does history provide few examples of heroes?

Our consciousness is arranged arrogantly: it considers as existing only what it already knows. However, what is already known, and what is still unknown, and what will never be known, is a single, undivided reality, in which, in fact, there is nothing more, but nothing less important. I am sometimes seized with a little laughter at the idea of ​​what a shapeless, crooked and obliquely gnawed piece of knowledge we contain in our head as an idea of ​​reality. This piece seems to us, however, quite smooth and round - containing in itself. The assumption of reality, absorbing a grain of our information, is the scientific feat. The spiritual meaning of a scientific discovery is not in expanding the sphere of knowledge, but in overcoming its limitations.

History needs legends, desperate exploits and noble examples, fiery speeches, brave heroes and great victories, the victors forget betrayal and cowardice, hypocrisy and blood, the truth remains the truth, and lies become history.

“The brain is a peculiar organ ... in one Chicago insurance company there was an agent, a rising star ... Unfortunately, he was often dominated by the blues, and when he left home from work, no one knew whether he would use the elevator or step out the window of the tenth floor. In the end, the board convinced him to part with a tiny piece of the frontal lobe of the brain ... After that ... no agent since the founding of the society has made equal exploits in the field of insurance ... However, everyone has lost sight of one fact: a lobotomy does not contribute to subtlety of judgment and caution. When the insurance agent became a financier, he suffered a complete collapse, and society with him. No, I would not want anyone to change my internal wiring diagram ... ”(Norbert Wiener. Head. American Science Fiction: Collection: - M .: Rainbow, 1988, p. 451.)

Forgiving enemies is wonderful feat; but there is feat even more beautiful, even more human is the understanding of enemies, because understanding is at once forgiveness, justification, reconciliation.

Weakness has always been saved by faith in miracles; she considered an enemy defeated if she succeeded in defeating him in her imagination by means of spells, and lost all sense of reality due to the inactive exaltation to the heavens of the future awaiting her and exploits which she intends to commit, but which she considers premature to report.

The beauty of a woman, the swaying of the sea, love and hate, philosophical meditation, Petrarch's longing, feat Brutus, Galileo's delight before the great discovery and the feeling brought into Owen's modest work - all this constitutes a poetic attitude to life for a person.

When intimacy is too much, it becomes very bad. And, on the contrary, when this is not enough, people are ready to go to any lengths. exploits. Everything that has ever happened in world literature, whether it's between family members or not, has to do with the fact that someone wanted to be together. Or break this closeness. That's all. The inner feeling of the world is important here, because the nature of a person is dual: on the one hand, he must be with someone, on the other, he must still be alone. Few people manage to be together and at the same time save themselves.

The Church has squandered much of the credit it has acquired exploits new martyrs. They died for the church in the 1920s and 1930s. The martyrs acquired ecclesiastical authority with their blood. They are recognized as saints and glorified by the church. The current hierarchs use this credit and say “we were persecuted”, as if they themselves suffered. But those who carried the cross are no more. They were replaced by other people with different views and morals.

The great significance of Moscow was soon revealed, that significance which alone bestows the right to be the true capital of the country. Moscow introduced the idea of ​​the entire Russian land and, together, of the indivisible Russian state. The time has come for the unified Russian land, hitherto divided by the fragmentation of the state, to finally be a single state. Moscow raised the banner of all Russia and became the capital. She, let's say an ancient expression, gathered the Russian land. The first union of Russian principalities under the banner of Moscow was on the Kulikovo field, against a common enemy, the Tatars. Under John III, the idea of ​​Moscow was expressed more clearly, when he was called the prince no longer of Moscow, but of all Russia. The integrity of the land and the integrity of the state - this is what the country must reach. As soon as this is achieved, - feat structure is completed, the country settled down, took shape, and it only remains for it, without losing this integrity, to follow the decisive path of improvement, with greater clarity and strength, recognizing its principles and making its national feat in the general cause of mankind. The capital that arose at the moment of state unity and national unity of the country, I will say more, bestowed, affirmed and expressed this unity, is the true capital. Such is Moscow. Conscious of the integrity of the Earth and the integrity of the State, Moscow recognized the existence, significance and right of both the Earth and the State. So, with Moscow, a new period began: autocracy for the State and integrity for the Russian land.

Gogol accepted his great talent as a duty imposed on him from above, which he must bear throughout his life. He strictly understood the vocation of the artist; without smiling himself, he produced laughter with his compositions, full of artistic pleasure. His word is known, where he expressed himself in this way when he said: “And for a long time it has been determined by a wonderful power for me to walk hand in hand with my strange heroes, to look around at all the vast rushing life, look at it through laughter visible to the world and invisible, unknown to it tears.” All turned to God, he always worked inwardly and often said that life is not fun, not pleasure, but also work, and feat. But if one does not run away from spiritual labor, it will appear, great and endless. - Remember that so strict so pure and so important was the poet, whose works, according to the ignorant opinion of some, are only dirty and obscene, and, according to the impression of many, only ridiculous.

Anyone who approaches the armed force must immediately feel that everything political, everything that agitates and torments the various social strata, all discord, all envy, all ideological inequality, have no place in the life of the armed force, whose only task is the constant striving to become and remain a real “strength”, at any moment ready to go to its moral feat, on the feat self-sacrifice.

The lot of a modern officer, and a naval officer in particular, falls to the difficult and highly responsible task of not only serving as a moral support for the lower ranks in battle, but mainly working hard on educating the lower ranks in peacetime of the qualities inherent in a good warrior. This is a difficult task, for the fishers of human souls themselves must bear in their souls the valor of the military spirit and boundless love for the military. exploits, to his cause and to his subordinates.

The story "Old Woman Izergil" was written in 1895. The theme of the story is about the meaning of human life, about what human happiness is. An old Moldavian woman named Izergil tells the legend of the young man Danko. This legend is based on the biblical story of how Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt.


God commanded Moses to lead the Jewish people out of Egypt. Jews lived in Egypt for hundreds of years, and they were very sad to leave their homes. Long carts were drawn up, and the Jews set off. Suddenly the Egyptian king regretted that he had let his slaves go. It so happened that the Jews came to the sea when they saw behind them the chariots of the Egyptian troops. The Jews looked and were horrified: in front of the sea, and behind the armed army. But the merciful Lord saved the Jews from destruction. He told Moses to strike the sea with a stick. And suddenly the waters parted and became walls, and in the middle it became dry. The Jews rushed along the dry bottom, and Moses again struck the water with a stick, and behind the backs of the Israelites it closed again.


Then the Jews went through the desert, and the Lord constantly took care of them. The Lord told Moses to strike a rock with a stick, and water gushed out of it. The Lord showed many favors to the Jews, but they were not grateful. For disobedience and ingratitude, God punished the Jews: for forty years they wandered in the desert, they could not come to the land promised by God. Finally, the Lord took pity on them and brought them closer to this land. Now this time their leader Moses died








Moses relies on the help of God in everything, because he fulfills his will. The Lord intervenes when he sees that the people have disobeyed him: he punishes the Israelites, only after trials he leads them on the path to the promised land. Danko himself volunteers to save people, no one helps him, he himself managed to rally and lead further people seized by anger and disbelief.


Find in Gorky's story an explanation of the main reason why strong people "could not go to fight to the death" with enemies. Think about how right people are in trying to keep the "covenants" even at the cost of giving up the will. Have you considered moving forward?




In a situation where there is no way back, and the way forward inspires fear, Danko appears. Explain why people “looked at him and saw that he was the best of them” (the mood of the crowd is explained by an impulse, a desire to relieve oneself of responsibility, a blind faith that Danko alone will cope with possible difficulties)






What feelings does Danko have for people? (“Indignation boiled in his heart”, “but it went out of pity for people”, “the desire to save them flared up with fire” Danko managed to pacify his pride. The feeling of love for the world and the people in it won. He dies happy, with a sense of accomplishment of duty , with a clear conscience)


How do people react to the hero? (“joyful and full of hope did not notice death” Danko, did not realize at what cost the daredevil achieved that they came “to the free land.” They are still going through their trials on the way, their former fears are still alive in them. Therefore, “one cautious person ... but the proud heart came with his foot ... "But over time, the people pay tribute to their heroes: the" blue sparks "of the memory of them live in their minds forever


Danko accomplished a feat, gave his heart to enlighten the dark human consciousness, to indicate the right path from the swamp in which they found themselves. His heart showed them the way of truth. All Gorky's early works bring future generations love for their people, for their history, and also help develop such qualities as kindness, compassion, the ability to make sacrifices in order to achieve a higher goal, in the name of other people.
