In this material, we consider an example of an essay based on the story “Mom Gone Somewhere,” V.G. Rasputin. Briefly tell about the talented author who wrote such a simple at first glance story for children. The topic touched upon by him is important and, one might say, topical and relevant. By analyzing the story about mom, you can help the student understand the topic of loneliness, which many people experience more than once in their lives.
About the writer
Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin was born in 1937 in the Irkutsk region in the modest village of Atamanka. Like the legendary Atlantis, the writer's village will also go under water. Victor Grigoryevich's childhood passed in the hungry post-war years. Despite the many difficulties of that time, the writer recalls his childhood with pleasure: hiking in the forest for mushrooms and berries, fishing on the lake, and rowing on Baikal affected the most tender strings in Rasputin’s soul. The story about mom written by him reflects his own childhood.
The spectrum of feelings and emotions
The very first question that arises is the very name of the story - "Mom has gone somewhere." Why, why did she leave, what were the reasons for this, and most importantly, what could happen to the baby in her absence?
In the essay for grade 4 on the story of mom, you need to make a plan consisting of three parts: introduction, main part and conclusion. As for the introduction, then in it several proposals should be devoted to the author who wrote this story. In the main part, we will analyze the whole spectrum of feelings and emotions that fell to the lot of a little man who began to recognize, and most importantly, understand some aspects of life.
So, in the morning, waking up in his crib, the baby experiences the joy of a new day and begins to call his mother. A great bright feeling, foreshadowing him an early meeting with her, is replaced by silence. The writer uses the expression "silence closed." A special mood can give rise to this image. The kid in the story about mom is faced with this new phenomenon for him. The next feeling he experiences is surprise and wariness. Why is not his mother? The kid himself gets out of bed, begins to cry desperately. He experiences a tormenting moral pain, to which physical pain from a bruised leg joined. Despair, tears and a feeling of grief are replaced by hope, a "brilliant thought" visits the boy. He stops crying and begins to calm down, remembering that mom always comes when he plays with his toys, choosing his favorite hare. But mom does not come. The boy feels despair, which is akin to hopelessness and hopelessness. The child throws his favorite toy, begins to kick it. After some time, guilt spreads over him. After all, he offended an innocent pet. And the kid is embraced by a feeling of loneliness.
Loneliness as an integral part of life
In the essay on the story about the mother, it is necessary to indicate to the students the semantic meaning of the work, which is enclosed in the final scene. The kid recognizes life from all its sides. In his four to five years, he, knowing what mother’s love and care, joy and fun, perhaps for the first time felt the bitterness of loneliness. Note that the name of the boy is absent in the story, thus the author wants to emphasize that any of us can be in the place of this child. Loneliness is a special state of a person who is left without the support of relatives and friends. Loneliness in one’s life is experienced by every person, without exception. Why did the boy meet with loneliness? This question was not accidentally asked, because the child described in the story reached about five years of age, it was during this period that a person first begins to understand and realize himself and his inner world. The author of this story makes us think about the topic of loneliness. We must understand that this is a complex internal state of a person. Each person will have to experience this feeling. And not once, not two, but much more than we can imagine. Loneliness ... Does a person need it? Yes and no.
Conclusion
In conclusion, summing up the above, I would like to note the deep meaning of the story about mom. The topic addressed by the author concerns each person. She reveals to the youngest readers such a concept as loneliness. Pain, despair, which more emphasizes the importance of love, care, family.
