Mikhail Zoshchenko is known primarily for his satirical works, but he was also a great children's writer. The essay that we offer the reader, of course, is strongly sustained in the Soviet spirit, but this does not spoil it at all, but even vice versa. So, today in the focus of our attention is the story (short summary) “The most important thing” Zoshchenko.
The boy who was afraid of everything
The main character of the story Zoshchenko, Redhead Andryushka is a wonderful boy. One misfortune: he is constantly tormented by fear for any reason. This, of course, saddens his mother, because a man must be brave. She says that only brave people are held in high esteem, and nobody loves cowards like him, and these poor comrades will not find a place anywhere. .
Our red-haired hero went into the courtyard, where the guys were. Children, unfortunately, used Andryushkina’s weakness and constantly poked and bullied him, and he only roared, but this time the boy said to his offenders: “Hey you, today you won’t touch me.” The kids pretended to be frightened, and she turned her usual ritual with Andryushka herself, and the hero was usually upset and ran to his mother.
This is exactly how Ryzhenky’s failure came about for the first time, and Zoshchenko’s truthful story tells us the most important thing (summary).
Courage alone is not enough
If A.S. Pushkin, then my mother would say to her son like this: "You are fool, you simpleton ...". But, to our common joy, Zoshchenko wrote it, so his mother caressed her son and after he calmed down, she said softly: "Silly little son, strength must also be applied to courage." Andrew learned a lesson and went a second time to prove his worth.
I wonder what else carries a brief summary? “The most important thing” Zoshchenko is an amazingly sweet and kind story.
Dog fight
To become strong, Andryushka took a stick with him and went out into the yard, but the guys were no longer there, but he was waiting for an even more worthy and dangerous opponent - a black dog. Her boy was always afraid. And he decided to check the cocktail out of courage and strength on it, having previously threatened the beast that if he barks at him, then he will not be bored.
Unfortunately for Ryzhenky, dogs are not trained in the Russian language, and even in some fairy tales they don’t speak or understand human speech, and even more so in children's realistic stories. The battle was notable, but Andryushka again inherited from the dog, and he followed the well-known route.
No luck to the little boy, but a brief summary has not yet been completed. The “most important thing” Zoshchenko can still end well.
There is too little courage and strength; mind is also needed
The boy again complained to his mother, the parent said that the boy was to blame, because there was no need to act rashly and anger the dog, swinging a shelf in front of her. You need to think about what you are doing, and, accordingly, apply courage and strength in the right direction. The boy ran away from home, promising to continue to be more careful.
Will luck smile this time to Andryushka? This is known only to those who read to the end the “Most Important” Zoshchenko. But there is another way: to reach the end of this article.
Case on the river
Andryushka ran out into the courtyard to see where the other boys were, and they were on the river, and one of them was drowning. Andrei shouted to him so that he would not worry about anything, the boy was going to save him. But remembering the words of his mother, he realized that he himself was swimming badly, so you need to take a boat. She stood by the shore. The boy got into it, pushed off the shore, but he did not take into account only that he could not work with oars. The current carried his boat to the middle of the river. For the happiness of Andryushka and the drowning boy, there were fishermen nearby, it was they who saved the failed drowned man and rescuer.
Why does the boy fail, does the mother know what she has not yet told her son? The answer is further, until the end of the summary of the work “Most Important” Zoshchenko, there is very little left.
“Learn, study and study again”, as the great Lenin bequeathed
The boy, upset, comes to his mother, says that he was both brave (decided to save), and strong (pushed the boat off the coast), and smart (did not swim into the river, as he swims badly), but still failed. Mom catches herself and says: “I have not told you the most important thing. It’s not enough to be brave, smart and strong, you need to know a lot and be able to (swim, for example) in order to earn the respect of people, so you need to study in order to gain knowledge, so study, son, and everything will be fine with you. "
And then grace descended on Andryushka, and he promised his mother to study diligently. Finally, M. Zoshchenko said the most important thing in his essay.
Morality
Yes, this is a fairy tale, but it correctly orientates the younger generation. Of course, the Soviet state had a goal - to educate an ideal person who is both strong, smart, and brave, and quick-witted, and there is only one key to all these qualities - education.
It is indisputable that this is a bright, good and quite achievable ideal, given the Soviet system of education. It seems that M. Zoshchenko understood this. “The most important thing” he wrote with inspiration and without tension.
Now, of course, the main moral of the fairy tale remains relevant, but now the world teaches a person a little different, namely: a person must do one thing very well, and then he will be in demand, because he will be a piece specialist, unique, but the key is still the same - education.
If we compare two ideologies, Soviet and Russian, then, of course, the first gave a more advantageous human product than the second (so that there is no doubt about the validity of such a statement, we can at least compare the scientific achievements of the two states).
The main characters of the tale
The story is good in that no one can be removed from it, there are no extra characters in it. Maybe only the fishermen played a cameo role in this piece. Surprisingly complete was the work “Most Important”. Mikhail Zoshchenko is a brilliant master of the word. Therefore, it is difficult to single out someone, and yet we will try.
Redhead Andryushka is the protagonist of the story and the future "Soviet man", for example, such as Yuri Gagarin. In the forefront is his mother, the source of worldly wisdom of the recent past. Children, fishermen and a dog play episodic roles in Zoshchenko’s wonderful fairy tale “The Most Important Thing”. The main characters in it seem to be obvious from the very beginning.
