Date of publication: 02/02/2017

A verified essay based on the text: “A person loves the place of his birth and upbringing. This affection is common to all people and nations...”

Problem:

What is love for the Motherland? How does it manifest itself? The author of the text thinks about these questions. (It is better to write: “How is love for the Motherland manifested,” since the author does not ask the question: “What is the Motherland?”)

A comment:

Revealing this problem, Karamzin talks about two types of love for the Motherland: physical and moral. Physical love is based on the laws of nature, on the inalienable communications with the ground. Human connected with native places. He cannot live without them. It is this kind of love that is common to all peoples. Whereas there is also moral love, which is based on the soul’s attraction to family and close people. A person gets used to the people who surround him, to all the existing relationships. (The author’s position says almost the same thing + a lot of retelling)

Arguing about this, the author shows what feelings a person experiences for his Motherland, being at a distance from it. She attracts him with memories, events that happened in his native land. (When illustrating the problem, we must prove that the text contains the problem we have identified, give examples and trace the author’s train of thought)

Revealing this problem, the author discusses what connects a person with his native places. Karamzin says that the Motherland is dear to the heart not for its local beauties, but for its memories. Why? The answer to this question is contained in sentence 4-5. And even the unfavorable climate of their native lands is not able to repel a person; Karamzin gives the example of residents of cold countries who love the place in which they were born, despite its harshness, and compares a person with a plant that has more strength in its climate.

The author's position is this: love for the Fatherland has both a moral and physical basis. Every person lives easier and more joyfully in their native land. In addition, he will always find the support of people close to him. That is why both types of love affect a person in a certain way.

Thesis:

I agree with the author's opinion and believe that love for native Fatherland- this is a love for everything that surrounds people from an early age. That is why both physical and moral love must be combined in each of us. (When expressing your point of view, it is better to refrain from the words “must”, “impossible”, “must”, etc. Let me remind you that we are arguing our own point of view. How to prove that physical and moral love for the Motherland MUST be combined in everyone from U.S?)

Arguments:

To confirm the above, an example from the literature can be given.
In the poem by M.Yu. Lermontov's "Motherland" describes the poet's love for the Fatherland. He shows his affection for the country's landscapes against all odds. “The cold silence of its steppes, the swaying of its boundless forests...” And he also writes that he is ready to watch with pleasure “The dance with stomping and whistling, accompanied by the talk of drunken peasants.” With this poem, Lermontov expresses his love for people, nature, and the landscapes of his homeland.

The second example can be cited from life experience. At a time when literature was limited, most poets left (left) abroad. But homesickness never left them. They always remembered their native places, the people with whom they lived and came into contact. That is why writers in their poems (poems) tried to convey oppressive feeling for the Motherland.

Conclusion:

Thus, we can conclude that love for the Motherland is a need associated not only with constant attachment to native landscapes, but also with closeness to fellow countrymen.

Result: Overall, a good essay. There are mistakes, but with practice you can get rid of them. There are chances to write an essay with the highest score.

• Patriotism can be both true and false
• A true patriot will not dare to betray his homeland even under the threat of death
• Patriotism is manifested in the desire to make one’s native country better, cleaner, and to protect it from the enemy.
• A huge number of striking examples of the manifestation of patriotism can be found in wartime
• A patriot is ready for even the most reckless act, which can bring people at least a little closer to saving the country
• A true patriot is faithful to the oath and his own moral principles

Arguments

M. Sholokhov “The Fate of Man.” During the war, Andrei Sokolov repeatedly proved that he deserves to be called a patriot of his country. Patriotism manifested itself in enormous willpower and heroism. Even under the threat of death during interrogation by Müller, he decides to preserve his Russian dignity and show the German the qualities of a real Russian soldier. Andrei Sokolov’s refusal to drink German weapons for the victory, despite the famine, is direct evidence that he is a patriot. The behavior of Andrei Sokolov seems to summarize the fortitude and steadfastness of a Soviet soldier who truly loves his Motherland.

L.N. Tolstoy “War and Peace”. In the epic novel, the reader is faced with the concept of true and false patriotism. All representatives of the Bolkonsky and Rostov families, as well as Pierre Bezukhov, can be called true patriots. These people are ready to defend their Motherland at any moment. Prince Andrei, even after being wounded, goes to war, no longer dreaming of glory, but simply defending his homeland. Pierre Bezukhov, who does not really understand anything about military operations, like a true patriot, remains in Moscow captured by the enemy to kill Napoleon. Nikolai and Petya Rostov are fighting, and Natasha does not spare the carts and gives them to transport the wounded. Everything suggests that these people are worthy children of their country. This cannot be said about the Kuragins, who are patriots only in words, but do not back up their words with actions. They talk about patriotism only for their own benefit. Consequently, not everyone from whom we hear about patriotism can be called a true patriot.

A.S. Pushkin “The Captain's Daughter”. Pyotr Grinev cannot even admit the thought of swearing allegiance to the impostor Pugachev, although this threatens him with death. He is a man of honor, true to his oath and his word, a true soldier. Although Pugachev is kind to Pyotr Grinev, the young soldier does not strive to please him or promise not to touch his people. In the most difficult situations, Petr Grinev resists the invaders. And although the hero more than once turns to Pugachev for help, he cannot be accused of betrayal, because he does all this to save Masha Mironova. Pyotr Grinev is a true patriot, ready to give his life for his Motherland, as his actions prove. The accusations of treason that are brought against him in court are false, which is why in the end justice prevails.

V. Kondratyev “Sashka”. Sashka is a man who fights selflessly, at full strength. And although he beats the enemy with hatred, a sense of justice forces the hero not to kill a captured German, his peer, who unexpectedly found himself in the war. This is, of course, not betrayal. Sashka’s thoughts at the sight of Moscow, not captured by the enemy, confirm that he is a true patriot. Seeing a city in which almost the same life is in full swing, the hero realizes how important what he did on the front line is. Sashka is ready to defend his native country, because he understands how important it is.

N.V. Gogol “Taras Bulba”. For the Cossacks, protecting their native land is the basis of their existence. It is not for nothing that the work says that it is difficult to resist the power of angry Cossacks. Old Taras Bulba is a true patriot who does not tolerate betrayal. He even kills his youngest son Andriy, who went over to the side of the enemy because of his love for a beautiful Polish woman. Taras Bulba does not take into account his own child, because his moral principles are unshakable: betrayal of the Motherland cannot be justified by anything. All this confirms that Taras Bulba is characterized by a sense of patriotism, like other real Cossacks, including Ostap, his eldest son.

A.T. Tvardovsky “Vasily Terkin”. The image of Vasily Terkin serves as the ideal embodiment of a simple Soviet soldier, ready at any moment to perform a feat in order to bring victory over the enemy closer. It costs Terkin nothing to swim across an icy river covered with ice in order to convey the necessary instructions to the other bank. He himself does not see this as a feat. And the soldier commits similar actions more than once throughout the work. Without a doubt, he can be called a true patriot, fighting for a bright future for his country.

Original text

There is a month above the window. There is wind under the window. The poplar that has flown around is silvery and bright...” comes from the receiver. And from the toes, hands, from the roots of the hair, from every cell of the body, a drop of blood rises to the heart, pricks it, fills it with tears and bitter delight, you want to run somewhere, hug someone alive, repent before the whole world or hide in a corner and cry out all the bitterness that is in the heart, and that which still remains in it.
Voiced women with a quiet sigh lead and talk about the month outside the window, about the little girl crying outside the outskirts, and I also feel sorry for these singers, I want to console them, feel sorry for them, reassure them. What a cleansing sorrow!

There is no month outside. It's foggy outside. It was exhausted from the earth, filled the forests, flooded the clearings, covered the river - everything was drowned in it. It's a rainy summer, the flax has died, the rye has fallen, and the barley is not growing. And all the fogs, fogs. It may be a month, but it is not visible, and in the villages they go to bed early. And not a single voice is heard. Nothing is heard, nothing is seen, the song has moved away from the village, life is dying out without it.

Across the river, in a deserted village, two old women live; they live apart in the summer and come together in one hut in the winter so that less wood is wasted.

A son from Leningrad came to visit one grandmother. For some reason he arrived in winter, walked up to his mother through the snowdrifts, knocked, but she didn’t let him in - she didn’t recognize him by his voice. Talyanka is crying, crying.

Just not there, not across the river, but in my heart. And I see everything in its original light, between summer and autumn, between evening and day. The old horse over there, the only one in three half-empty villages, is eating grass without interest. A drunken shepherd outside the outskirts barks his dead calves in a black voice. Anna, a young and old-looking woman, comes down to the river with a bucket.

“The distant cry of a Talyanka, a lonely voice...” Why is this and why is Yesenin sung and sung so little among us? The most melodious poet! Is it really possible that everyone rejects him even when he’s dead? Is it really scary to let him in among the people? The Russian people will take it and tear their shirt, and along with it they will tear their heart, so that they can suffer the torment that the poet, suffering at once from all the sufferings of his people, did not endure, did not experience. He suffers for all people, for every living creature, with a supreme torment inaccessible to us, which we often hear in ourselves and therefore we cling, reaching out to the word of the Ryazan guy, so that his pain, his all-world melancholy will echo again and again, stir up our soul.

I often feel him so close and dear to me that I talk to him in my sleep, call him brother, younger brother, sad brother, and I console him, I console him... Where can you console him? He is gone, the poor orphan. Only a bright soul hovers over Russia and worries, worries us with eternal sadness. And they explain everything to us and explain to us that he is not guilty of anything and that he is ours. Already the judges themselves, who determined who is “ours” and “not ours”, have become “not ours”, erased from human memory, the song, sound, sadness of the poet is with us forever, and everything is explained to us and explained to us by the inexplicable, incomprehensible. “It’s a month outside the window...” Darkness outside the window, empty villages and empty land. It’s unbearable to listen to Yesenin here.

The fogs lie around, dense, motionless, no sound breaks through. The light barely leaked from across the river like a faded speck in the village window. The old ladies are alive. We've worked hard. They're having dinner. Is it still evening or is it already night?

The grass is wet, the leaves are dripping, a horse snorts in a wet meadow, the tractor has fallen silent behind the village. And it lies endlessly, in forests and copses, among grains and flaxes, near rivers and lakes, with a silent church in the middle, mourned by the Russian singer.

Shut up, military trumpet! Calm down, eloquent speaker! Don't make faces, newfangled howler monkeys! Turn off the tape recorders and transistors, guys! Hats off, Russia! They sing Yesenin!

Astafiev Viktor Petrovich (1924-2001) – Russian writer

Composition

In this text, the outstanding Soviet writer Viktor Petrovich Astafiev raises the problem of love for one’s native people, homeland.
Revealing the problem, the author talks about Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin, about his unbridled love for his homeland, for his people. Astafiev talks about how he suffered at once from all the torments of his people. Draws attention to how the poet’s soul was torn for all people, for every living creature.
The author believes that loving your people means being grateful to them, loving the land on which a person lives, loving everything good and beautiful that is connected with it.
I completely agree with the author and also believe that love for one’s people is love for one’s native language, the surrounding nature, cities, villages and towns where people live. I also believe that this love is expressed in the desire to protect and express the interests of one’s homeland.
I can prove the correctness of my point of view by referring to M.A. Sholokhov’s epic novel “Quiet Don”. Let us remember the conversation between Podesaul Atarshchikov and Evgeny Listnitsky about their attitude towards the people, towards the Cossacks, towards their homeland. Atarshchikov says: “...I love the Don to hell, this whole old way of Cossack life that has evolved over centuries. I love my Cossacks, Cossack women - I love everything! The smell of steppe wormwood makes me want to cry... And then, when the sunflower blooms and the smell of rain-drenched vineyards over the Don, I love so deeply and painfully...” So the author wants to say that love for the people is expressed in a person’s attachment to his native places, where he was born, where his parents, relatives and friends live.
As a second example, I will cite the poetry of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Reading Pushkin’s poems, you can’t help but feel with what warmth, love, joy and pride the poet speaks about his country. Russian morals, native nature and the history of the Fatherland appear before us in all their greatness and powerful beauty. Pushkin’s paintings of Russian nature are magical and poetic. “Autumn”, “Winter Morning”, “Winter Evening” immerse us in her mysterious world. Under the influence of Pushkin’s pen, you feel a surge of pride and admiration for Russian forests and meadows, rivers and lakes, our vast expanses. Pushkin’s work merged love of freedom and patriotism, faith in the future of his homeland and concern for the fate of the Russian people. That is why Pushkin, according to Gogol, “is an extraordinary phenomenon and, perhaps, the only manifestation of the Russian spirit.”
Thus, I want to say that every person needs to remember their loved ones, their Motherland. After all, sometimes such memories can save a life, give meaning to life to the desperate.

1. Probably, each of us from time to time in the depths of our souls flashes in the depths of our souls echoes of our native lands and landscapes from childhood, memories from our father’s house and nostalgic experiences mixed with longing for the past. The very word “Motherland” is reflected in everyone’s heart in different shades and with varying degrees, in his text by K.G. Paustovsky invites us to think about the problem of a person’s relationship to his homeland.

All people are different, and what may be considered necessary for one may have absolutely no meaning for another, and, conversely, insignificant things often take on a global character. The hero of this text, unlike his friends, at first did not have warm feelings for the word “Motherland”; they were hidden deep inside him. The writer emphasizes that Berg did not feel any attachment to childhood and did not attach importance to the place in which he was born. The author draws the reader’s attention to the fact that only after getting out into the deserted Murom forests, the artist felt an incredible closeness to this place: the cranes flying to the deck seemed to him traitors, and he suddenly considered Yartsev’s departure a betrayal of the forests and lakes. Berg awakened to a feeling of closeness to the place in which he was, he literally fell in love with the September landscape, and only then, in an incredible creative impulse, inspired by something extraterrestrial and beautiful, he painted his first landscape.

“There is nothing worse than wandering in foreign lands,” Homer. In each of us, love for the Motherland is nurtured from childhood, and, gradually blossoming in the human soul, it can brighten up, and sometimes even change, even the grayest days of the calendar. The author's position is that love for the homeland is a spiritual connection with one's Fatherland, an extraterrestrial, bright, inspiring, uplifting feeling stored deep in the soul of each of us. It changes a person, changes his life and makes it “a hundred times more beautiful than before.”

It is difficult to disagree with the thought of K.G. Paustovsky. Indeed, a spiritual connection with native landscapes, a connection with the place in which you were born, which you love with all your soul, brings meaning to a person’s life, makes it brighter and richer. Each of us feels this to varying degrees, but sooner or later this feeling still lights up in the soul, and then life begins to play with completely new colors.

In the works of I.A. Bunin's theme of the homeland runs like a red thread through every work. Because for a writer who once left his Fatherland, the only outlet can be only lines about the Motherland. So, for example, in the story “Antonov Apples”, each paragraph is imbued with sad nostalgia and pleasant, heart-warming memories. For the lyrical hero, the smell of Antonov apples became the personification of his homeland, and human tragedies became insignificant trifles, brightened up by the eternal harmony of landscapes. Reading this work, you understand that any problem disappears when there is a feeling of security, a sense of belonging, a feeling of love for the Fatherland.

The heroes of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” also turn to the “Russian Land.” The author is tormented to the depths of his soul by feelings of excitement for his native land, he mourns their fate and therefore calls on the princes to unity. It is no coincidence that warriors, one of the heroes of the word, when participating in the events described, think not about their fate, but about the fate of their Fatherland - their native lands are so dear to them.

In conclusion, I would like to say that we are an integral part of our Motherland, and it is our support and support. In order to find yourself, to feel your significance in this world, it is important, first of all, to be able to associate yourself with your native land, because, as Napoleon Bonaparte said: “Love of the motherland is the first dignity of a civilized person.”

Essay 2

What is the Motherland like? Warm, like homemade fresh milk? Or bright, like childhood memories of a village, grandmother and a house with fruit trees? Or burning, like the exploits of Russian soldiers? This word resonates in each of us in a special way.

The problem of this story is the problem of a person’s relationship to his homeland. Unfortunately, not many people understand the value of their native land, its greatness and significance. Of course, love for the homeland is in the heart of each of us. In some it lives more sharply, more openly, and in others it is hidden in the very depths of the heart.

The problem raised by K.G. Paustovsky, relevant at all times. After all, love for one’s native land does not come on its own; it is nurtured from childhood, absorbed with the mother’s first milk and shaped by the family and the surrounding nature.

One cannot but agree with the author. Love in the homeland is love in the place where you were born, said your first word, and grew up. Here your worldview was formed, you yourself were formed. You cannot have a negative and indifferent attitude towards your homeland - the place that raised you as a person.

I will like the writer's story. It is written so easily and vividly because it is decorated with a large number of artistic means of expression: epithets (“sugar soul”), many exclamatory sentences.

Many writers and poets glorify the Motherland and love for it. I really like Lermontov’s poem “Motherland”. It seems to me that it very closely resonates with Paustovsky’s story and his ideas about love for his native land, its nature. In his poem, the poet tells why and why his country is dear to him, how beautiful its nature, steppes, forests, rivers are. And if we move away from the lyrical side of praising the homeland, we can recall a more enthusiastic song - “The Lay of Igor’s Campaign.” This work clearly expresses the author’s love for his land; he proudly talks about nature, the beautiful Russian region.

Horace once said: “Why should we seek lands warmed by another sun? Who, having left the Fatherland, will be able to escape from himself? The homeland is within us, it is part of us, wherever we are.

1) L.N. Tolstoy “War and Peace”.

The author reveals the problem of true patriotism through the image of Pierre Bezukhov, who wants to share the fate of the country and express his love for it. So he forms a regiment at his own expense. He himself remains in Moscow to kill Napoleon as the main culprit of national disasters. Pierre is not a military man, however, and he, gathering all his spiritual strength, begins to act.

2) Boris Vasiliev “Not on the lists.”

The main character, Nikolai Pluzhnikov, despite the lack of official assumption of duties, selflessly defends the Brest Fortress. The hero goes through a cruel school of maturity and spiritual growth, goes through fear and despair, becoming the hero of his Fatherland.

3) L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace"

The men Karp and Vlas not only refuse to sell hay to the French, but also burn everything that is left of the population and could be useful to the enemy.

They take up arms and join the partisans.

4) M.Yu Lermontov “Motherland”

The lyrical hero talks about his love for the Fatherland, admiring its rivers, seas and the charm of Russian villages. The hero admits: “...I love why, I don’t know myself...” It can be assumed that his connection with the Motherland is the result of a spiritual relationship with it, closeness to the life of a simple Russian person.

5) S. Yesenin “Go away, my dear Rus'”

Here we see the image of a lyrical hero in love with the nature of his homeland. It is in her that he finds his joy, it is she who helps him to feel a deep and pure love for his native land.

6) A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter"

Pyotr Grinev shows himself to be a brave, courageous young man who passionately loves his homeland. He risks everything by refusing to swear allegiance to Pugachev, he is a true patriot!
