Come to my Christmas tree, boy. Cognition

He sat down and huddled, but he couldn’t catch his breath from fear, and suddenly, quite suddenly, he felt so good: his arms and legs suddenly stopped hurting and it became so warm, so warm, like on a stove; Now he shuddered all over: oh, but he was about to fall asleep! How nice it is to fall asleep here: “I’ll sit here and go look at the dolls again,” the boy thought and grinned, remembering them, “just like alive!” And suddenly he heard his mother singing a song above him. “Mom, I’m sleeping, oh, how good it is to sleep here!”

“Let’s go to my Christmas tree, boy,” a quiet voice suddenly whispered above him.

He thought it was all his mother, but no, not her; He doesn’t see who called him, but someone bent over him and hugged him in the darkness, and he extended his hand and... and suddenly - oh, what a light! Oh, what a tree! And it’s not a Christmas tree, he’s never seen such trees before! Where is he now: everything glitters, everything shines and there are dolls all around - but no, these are all boys and girls, only so bright, they all circle around him, fly, they all kiss him, take him, carry him with them, yes and he himself flies, and he sees: his mother is looking and laughing at him joyfully.

Mother! Mother! Oh, how nice it is here, mom! - the boy shouts to her, and again kisses the children, and he wants to tell them as soon as possible about those dolls behind the glass. - Who are you, boys? Who are you girls? - he asks, laughing and loving them.

This is “Christ’s Christmas tree,” they answer him. - Christ always has a Christmas tree on this day for little children who don’t have their own tree... - And he found out that these boys and girls were all just like him, children, but some were still frozen in their baskets, in which they were thrown onto the stairs to the doors of St. Petersburg officials, others suffocated in the chukhonkas, from the orphanage while being fed, others died at the withered breasts of their mothers during the Samara famine, others suffocated in third-class carriages from the stench, and yet they are all here now, they are all now like angels, they are all with Christ, and he himself is in the midst of them, and stretches out his hands to them, and blesses them and their sinful mothers... And the mothers of these children are all standing right there, on the sidelines, and crying; everyone recognizes their boy or girl, and they fly up to them and kiss them, wipe away their tears with their hands and beg them not to cry, because they feel so good here...

And downstairs the next morning, the janitors found the small corpse of a boy who had run and frozen to collect firewood; They also found his mother... She died before him; both met with the Lord God in heaven.

And why did I compose such a story, which does not fit into an ordinary reasonable diary, especially a writer’s? And he also promised stories mainly about actual events! But that’s the point, it seems and seems to me that all this could really happen - that is, what happened in the basement and behind the firewood, and there about the Christmas tree at Christ’s - I don’t know how to tell you , could it happen or not? That's why I'm a novelist, to invent things.

Children are strange people, they dream and imagine. Before the Christmas tree and right before Christmas, I kept meeting on the street, on a certain corner, one boy, no more than seven years old. In the terrible frost, he was dressed almost like summer clothes, but his neck was tied with some old clothes, which means that someone equipped him when they sent him. He walked “with a pen”; This is a technical term and means to beg for alms. The term was invented by these boys themselves. There are many like him, they spin on your road and howl something they have learned by heart; but this one did not howl and spoke somehow innocently and unusually and looked trustingly into my eyes - therefore, he was just starting a profession. In response to my questions, he said that he had a sister who was unemployed and ill; maybe it’s true, but only I found out later that there are a lot of these boys: they are sent out “with a pen” even in the most terrible frost, and if they don’t get anything, then they will probably be beaten. Having collected a few kopecks, the boy returns with red, numb hands to some basement, where some gang of negligent workers are drinking, the same ones who, “having gone on strike at the factory on Sunday on Saturday, return to work no earlier than on Wednesday evening.” . There, in the basements, their hungry and beaten wives are drinking with them, and their hungry babies are squealing right there. Vodka, and dirt, and debauchery, and most importantly, vodka. With the collected pennies, the boy is immediately sent to the tavern, and he brings more wine. For fun, sometimes they pour a scythe into his mouth and laugh when, with his breathing stopped, he falls almost unconscious on the floor,

...and I put bad vodka in my mouth
Ruthlessly poured...

When he grows up, he is quickly sold off to a factory somewhere, but everything he earns, he is again obliged to bring to the careless workers, and they again drink away. But even before the factory, these children become complete criminals. They wander around the city and know places in different basements where they can crawl into and where they can spend the night unnoticed. One of them spent several nights in a row with one janitor in some kind of basket, and he never noticed him. Of course, they become thieves. Theft turns into a passion even among eight-year-old children, sometimes even without any consciousness of the criminality of the action. In the end they endure everything - hunger, cold, beatings - for only one thing, for freedom, and run away from their negligent people to wander away from themselves. This wild creature sometimes does not understand anything, neither where he lives, nor what nation he is, whether there is a God, whether there is a sovereign; even such people convey things about them that are incredible to hear, and yet they are all facts.

II. Boy at Christ's Christmas tree

But I am a novelist, and, it seems, I composed one “story” myself. Why do I write: “it seems”, because I myself probably know what I wrote, but I keep imagining that this happened somewhere and sometime, this is exactly what happened just before Christmas, in some huge city and in a terrible freezing.

I imagine there was a boy in the basement, but he was still very small, about six years old or even younger. This boy woke up in the morning in a damp and cold basement. He was dressed in some kind of robe and was shaking. His breath flew out in white steam, and he, sitting in the corner on a chest, out of boredom, deliberately let this steam out of his mouth and amused himself by watching it fly out. But he really wanted to eat. Several times in the morning he approached the bunk, where his sick mother lay on a thin bedding like a pancake and on some kind of bundle under her head instead of a pillow. How did she end up here? She must have arrived with her boy from a foreign city and suddenly fell ill. The owner of the corners was captured by the police two days ago; the tenants scattered, it was a holiday, and the only one left, the robe, had been lying dead drunk for the whole day, without even waiting for the holiday. In another corner of the room, some eighty-year-old old woman, who had once lived somewhere as a nanny, but was now dying alone, was moaning from rheumatism, groaning, grumbling and grumbling at the boy, so that he was already afraid to come close to her corner. He got something to drink somewhere in the hallway, but couldn’t find a crust anywhere, and for the tenth time he already went to wake up his mother. He finally felt terrified in the darkness: evening had long since begun, but the fire had not been lit. Feeling his mother’s face, he was amazed that she did not move at all and became as cold as a wall. “It’s very cold here,” he thought, stood for a while, unconsciously forgetting his hand on the dead woman’s shoulder, then he breathed on his fingers to warm them, and suddenly, rummaging for his cap on the bunk, slowly, gropingly, he went to the basement. He would have gone even earlier, but he was still afraid of the big dog upstairs, on the stairs, which had been howling all day at the neighbors’ doors. But the dog was no longer there, and he suddenly went outside.

Lord, what a city! He had never seen anything like this before. Where he came from, it was so dark at night, there was only one lantern on the entire street. Low wooden houses are closed with shutters; on the street, as soon as it gets dark, there is no one, everyone shuts up in their homes, and only whole packs of dogs howl, hundreds and thousands of them, howl and bark all night. But there it was so warm and they gave him something to eat, but here - Lord, if only he could eat! And what a knock and thunder there is, what light and people, horses and carriages, and frost, frost! Frozen steam rises from the driven horses, from their hot breathing muzzles; Horseshoes ring on the stones through the loose snow, and everyone is pushing so hard, and, God, I really want to eat, even just a piece of something, and my fingers suddenly hurt so much. A peace officer walked by and turned away so as not to notice the boy.

Here is the street again - oh, how wide! Here they will probably be crushed like that; how they all scream, run and drive, and the light, the light! And what's that? Wow, what a big glass, and behind the glass there is a room, and in the room there is wood up to the ceiling; this is a Christmas tree, and on the tree there are so many lights, so many golden pieces of paper and apples, and all around there are dolls and little horses; and children are running around the room, dressed up, clean, laughing and playing, and eating, and drinking something. This girl started dancing with the boy, what a pretty girl! Here comes the music, you can hear it through the glass. The boy looks, wonders, and laughs, but his fingers and toes are already hurting, and his hands have become completely red, they no longer bend and it hurts to move. And suddenly the boy remembered that his fingers hurt so much, he began to cry and ran on, and now again he sees through another glass a room, again there are trees, but on the tables there are all kinds of pies - almond, red, yellow, and four people are sitting there rich ladies, and whoever comes, they give him pies, and the door opens every minute, many gentlemen come in from the street. The boy crept up, suddenly opened the door and entered. Wow, how they shouted and waved at him! One lady quickly came up and put a penny in his hand, and she opened the door to the street for him. How scared he was! And the penny immediately rolled out and rang down the steps: he could not bend his red fingers and hold it. The boy ran out and went as quickly as possible, but he didn’t know where. He wants to cry again, but he’s too afraid, and he runs and runs and blows on his hands. And melancholy takes over him, because he suddenly felt so lonely and terrible, and suddenly, Lord! So what is this again? People are standing in a crowd and marveling: on the window behind the glass there are three dolls, small, dressed in red and green dresses and very, very lifelike! Some old man sits and seems to be playing a large violin, two others stand right there and play small violins, and shake their heads to the beat, and look at each other, and their lips move, they talk, they really talk - only now You can't hear it because of the glass. And at first the boy thought that they were alive, but when he realized that they were dolls, he suddenly laughed. He had never seen such dolls and did not know that such existed! And he wants to cry, but the dolls are so funny. Suddenly it seemed to him that someone grabbed him by the robe from behind: a big, angry boy stood nearby and suddenly hit him on the head, tore off his cap, and kicked him from below. The boy rolled to the ground, then they screamed, he was stupefied, he jumped up and ran and ran, and suddenly he ran into he doesn’t know where, into a gateway, into someone else’s yard, and sat down behind some firewood: “They won’t find anyone here, and it’s dark.”

“Let’s go to my Christmas tree, boy,” a quiet voice suddenly whispered above him.

He thought it was all his mother, but no, not her; He doesn’t see who called him, but someone bent over him and hugged him in the darkness, and he extended his hand and... and suddenly - oh, what a light! Oh, what a tree! And it’s not a Christmas tree, he’s never seen such trees before! Where is he now: everything glitters, everything shines and there are all dolls all around - but no, these are all boys and girls, only so bright, they all circle around him, fly, they all kiss him, take him, carry him with them, yes and he himself flies, and he sees: his mother is looking and laughing at him joyfully.

- Mother! Mother! Oh, how nice it is here, mom! - the boy shouts to her, and again kisses the children, and he wants to tell them as soon as possible about those dolls behind the glass. -Who are you, boys? Who are you girls? - he asks, laughing and loving them.

“This is Christ’s Christmas tree,” they answer him. - Christ always has a Christmas tree on this day for little children who don’t have their own Christmas tree... - And he found out that these boys and girls were all just like him, children, but some were still frozen in their baskets, in which they were thrown on the stairs to the doors of St. Petersburg officials; others suffocated among the Chukhonkas, from the orphanage while being fed, others died at the withered breasts of their mothers (during the Samara famine), the fourth suffocated in third-class carriages from the stench, and they are all here now, all of them are now like angels, all of them Christ, and he himself is in the midst of them, and stretches out his hands to them, and blesses them and their sinful mothers... And the mothers of these children all stand right there, on the sidelines, and cry; everyone recognizes their boy or girl, and they fly up to them and kiss them, wipe away their tears with their hands and beg them not to cry, because they feel so good here...

And downstairs, the next morning, the janitors found the small corpse of a boy who had run and frozen to collect firewood; They also found his mother... She died before him; both met with the Lord God in heaven.

And why did I compose such a story, which does not fit into an ordinary reasonable diary, especially a writer’s? And he also promised stories mainly about actual events! But that’s the thing, it seems and seems to me that all this could really happen - that is, what happened in the basement and behind the firewood, and there about the Christmas tree at Christ’s - I don’t know how to tell you , could it happen or not? That's why I'm a novelist, to invent things.

...and poured bad vodka into my mouth // Ruthlessly poured...– Inaccurate quote from N. A. Nekrasov’s poem “Childhood” (1855), which is the second edition of the poem “Excerpt” (“I was born in the province...”, 1844). During the lifetime of Nekrasov and Dostoevsky, “Childhood” was not published, but was circulated in lists. When and how Dostoevsky met him is not clear; nevertheless, the entire scene of getting a young boy drunk echoes the following excerpt from “Childhood”:

From my mother on the sly
He put me in his place
And put nasty vodka in my mouth
Drop by drop he poured:
“Well, refuel from a young age,
Fool, you will grow up -
You won't die of hunger.
You can’t drink your shirt away!” –
That's what he said - and furiously
Laughed with friends
When I'm like crazy
And he fell and screamed...
(Nekrasov N.A. Complete collection of works and letters: In 15 volumes, L., 1981. T. 1. P. 558).

...others suffocated from the Chukhonkas, from the orphanage for food...– Orphanages were called shelters for foundlings and street babies. Dostoevsky’s attention was drawn to the St. Petersburg orphanage back in 1873 by a note in “Voice” (1873. March 9), which outlined a letter from priest John Nikolsky about the high mortality rate among the pupils of this institution, distributed to the peasant women of his parish in Tsarskoye Selo district. The letter indicated that peasant women take children in order to get linen and money for them, and do not take care of babies; in turn, doctors who issue documents for the right to take a child show complete indifference and indifference to whose hands the children will fall into. In the May issue of “The Diary of a Writer,” talking about his visit to the Orphanage, Dostoevsky mentions his intention “to go to the villages, to the Chukhonkas, who have been given babies to raise” (see p. 176).

Chukhonets- Finnish

...during the Samara famine...– In 1871 – 1873 The Samara province suffered catastrophic crop failures, causing severe famine.

...the fourth suffocated in third-class carriages from the stench...– “Moskovskie Vedomosti” (1876. January 6) cited an entry from the complaint book at Art. Voronezh that a boy and a girl were burned to death on the train, in a third-class carriage, and that the latter’s condition was hopeless. “The reason is the stench in the carriage, from which even adult passengers fled.”

According to Charles Dickens, it is a time of “charity, kindness and forgiveness, these are the only days in the calendar when people ... freely open their hearts to each other and see their neighbors as people like themselves.” During the Christmas holidays, people strive to be better people; This is the time when Christian values receive special significance, the time of doing good deeds. In Russia, on Christmastide it was customary to do good deeds: help the sick, give alms, send gifts to old people in almshouses, etc. Everyone followed this tradition - from the sovereign to From the rising of the messenger star, from the Nativity of Christ we count centuries. The ruler of Judea, the cruel Herod, learned about the arrival of the wise men, looking for the newborn King of the Jews in his country. Not the ruler of the earth, but the Savior of the world was born in a cave-den near Bethlehem. And Herod heard and understood one thing in the jubilant speech of the Magi - the only thing: in Judea was born the One who would take away from him, the Ruler, power over the entire earth. Herod sent warriors to Bethlehem to exterminate all boys under two years of age. And Herod’s warriors carried out his order. That same night, through the desert, the Holy Family fled to Egypt.

Dostoevsky.
F. M. Dostoevsky is a great Russian writer of the second half of the 19th century. I was born into a large family with an old patriarchal way of life, where the mother taught the children to read, and in the evenings everyone gathered around a large table and the parents read aloud. Received an excellent education. In his youth, he took part in the activities of Petrashevsky’s revolutionary circle, for which he was convicted and sentenced to death, which was replaced with hard labor.

- these are holidays in honor of the Nativity of Christ, lasting until Epiphany. The action of the Christmas stories takes place precisely on these days, when everyone wants to believe in good miracles. So in the plot of a Christmas story there is always a miracle, some kind of good surprise. (demonstration of Christmas stories - exhibition of books) Signs of a Christmas story: 1) emotional atmosphere of the work - love, mercy, compassion; 2) timing of actions around the Christmas holidays; 3) the presence of a fantastic element, a miracle performed on the eve of the Nativity of Christ. 4) happy ending. As the author describes the main juvenile delinquents on the outskirts of the city on Okhta, headed by the famous teacher and writer P. A. Rovinsky. During these same pre-New Year days, he met several times on the streets of St. Petersburg a beggar boy begging for alms (“boy with a pen”). All these pre-New Year impressions formed the basis for the Christmas (or Yuletide) story “The Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree.” Dostoevsky began the story on December 30, 1875, and by the end of January 1876, “The Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree” was published.
hero ("...there was a boy in the basement, but he was still very small, about six years old or even less... He was dressed in some kind of robe and was shaking). What was the name of this boy? Let's find a description of the place where the boy lives ("... in the basement... in a damp and cold basement... bunks... thin bedding like a pancake... a bundle under the head... darkness, no fire was lit... very cold). What feeling do the pictures of this terrible basement evoke? Teacher: How does this previously unknown world of the big city greet the boy? How do people feel about him? Do they become more merciful and kinder on the eve of Christmas? This could happen in any city; perhaps the author has encountered more than one such case. (Feeling of disgust, hopelessness, dead end). Students: (read quotes from the text) - Maybe they have forgotten what a feeling of compassion is?
1. The police chief turned away (indifference); “Stop 1” Why did the peace officer turn away so as not to notice the boy? 2.why They shouted, waved, kicked out 3.why the Boy hit, gave in (anger and hatred). Teacher: Can we say that the same cold reigns in relations between people as in nature? (indifference); - This is hypocrisy, false mercy. There was no reason, just like that: from an excess of cruelty and anger. People walked and did not notice the person’s suffering. They didn't care. Cold is the norm in nature (winter). Coldness among people, in relationships, is lonely, scary, creepy.
But here is a beautiful hall behind a large glass... The boy sees: “Stop 2” What did the boy feel when he looked behind the large glass? “A room, and in the room there is a tree up to the ceiling; it’s a Christmas tree, and on the tree there are so many lights, so many golden pieces of paper and apples, and all around... dolls, little horses; children are running around the room, dressed up, clean, laughing and playing, and eating, and drinking something"). (Possible answers: - there was a feeling of admiration and joy in the boy’s chest.

This technique of contrast (antithesis) emphasizes the suffering of the poor boy. The city pushed the boy away, people didn’t help, and he realized that no one needed him here. Teacher: - How does a boy end up at Christ’s Christmas tree? "Stop 3" Where do you think the boy ended up? - What would have happened to the boy in the story if he had remained alive? And suddenly he heard his mother singing a song above him. “Mom, I’m sleeping, oh, how good it is to sleep here.” “Let’s go to my Christmas tree, boy,” a quiet voice suddenly whispered above him.”
- What did the boy lack in his life? What could have saved him? How did this story end? Below is the death of the boy, above is his resurrection to eternal life. - And why did the children turn into angels of Christ? - Dostoevsky ends his work with questions to himself and the reader. Let’s read the last paragraph and try to answer this question: “Why did I write such a story?” (affection, kindness) (The episode is read to the words: “And downstairs the next morning, the janitors found the small corpse of a boy who had run and froze to get some firewood; they also found his mother... She died before him, both met with the Lord God on the Christmas tree in the sky”) (On earth, in the real world, children cannot be happy, this is possible only with Christ).

The miracle that occurs in the story is not caused by the intervention of any fabulous, magical forces. In a Christmas story, the author's fiction plays a big role, but most often the writer strives to organize the story in such a way that we believe in the reality of the events taking place in the story. If any of you are interested in Christmas stories, I advise you to read the following works: “Angel” by Leonid Andreev, “The Wonderful Doctor” by Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin, Oksana Ivanenko “About the Green Tree and the Golden Mandarin”, “Danya” by Vasily Belov.

- And for you, is this an invention of the novelist-writer Dostoevsky? Or is it true? - Can we say that a story written so long ago is still relevant today? Why? 4. Teacher (final word): Today we are reading Dostoevsky for the first time. He is considered the most “difficult” Russian writer. Why? Why is Dostoevsky so difficult? It makes you think about the eternal, complex questions of human life. F.M. Dostoevsky is an adult writer. He is the author of long and difficult stories to read. But in each of his novels we meet children among the heroes. Dostoevsky
with pain in his heart he wrote about childhood suffering, about the misfortunes of the poor and humiliated. The author wanted to awaken the conscience of every person so that he would never forget that next to a well-fed and prosperous life there is always another. And in this other one - hunger, suffering, rudeness, dirt, humiliation and insults. For Dostoevsky it was important: if a child suffers and cries, it means that something is wrong in this world, it means that our life is unfair, that our life is structured incorrectly. But it is so important that every person remembers his childhood with love and joy. Then he himself will be fairer, kinder, more merciful.
The writer calls to believe in the Savior, awakens humanity in readers and asks not to forget about children (our main people), about their suffering. Mercy is the willingness to help someone out of compassion and philanthropy.

II. Work on the topic of the lesson

1. Teacher's word

Hello children and dear adults. Today we have gathered with you to climb the steps of the Temple of Literature together, hand in hand, and find ourselves in the magical domain of the Russian classic - F. M. Dostoevsky.

Our lesson is dedicated to the story of F. M. Dostoevsky “The Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree”

F. M. Dostoevsky is an adult writer. He is the author of long and difficult stories to read. But in each of his works, among the heroes we meet children.

At the funeral of F. M. Dostoevsky, among the many wreaths, there was a wreath from children. Few writers were able to come so close to a child's soul and penetrate so deeply into it, as Dostoevsky did. He wanted to awaken the conscience of every person, so that people would never forget that next to a well-fed, prosperous life there is always another life. And this other life is dominated by hunger, suffering, rudeness, dirt, humiliation and insults. To Dostoevsky, a child's soul was completely revealed because he had a gift - the gift of compassion in the name of love for people.

Today we will get acquainted with the genre of the Christmas story, we will think about what the eternal categories mean: faith, mercy, compassion. Guys, this is not how the New Year holidays ended - Christmas, Epiphany. Christmas is a day of universal love and kindness. According to Charles Dickens, this is a time of “charity, kindness and forgiveness, these are the only days in the calendar when people ... freely open their hearts to each other and see in their neighbors people like themselves.”

2. Literary montage

In the background is the music of F. Liszt “Consolation”

Student. During the Christmas holidays, people strive to be better; This is the time when Christian values receive special significance, the time of doing good deeds. On Christmastide, it is customary for us to do good deeds: help the sick, give alms, send gifts to old people in almshouses, etc. In Russia, everyone followed this tradition - from the sovereign to mere mortals. Christmas is a holiday of waiting for a miracle. Just as a miracle once happened in Bethlehem, and the Savior of mankind was born.

Student. On a winter night, two thousand years before this Christmas, in the vicinity of Bethlehem, in a country conquered by the Romans, the Savior was born under the arches of a nativity scene. People have been waiting for centuries: now he will come down from heaven - in power and glory, in the form of a king, surrounded by an army of Angels...

Reader 1.

There are countries where people have never known blizzards or falling snow for centuries.
There, only the tops of granite ridges sparkle with unmelting snow...
The flowers there are more fragrant, the stars are larger,
Spring is brighter and more elegant,
And the feathers of the birds are brighter there, and warmer
The sea wave is breathing there...
In such and such a country on a balmy night,
With the whisper of laurels and roses,
The desired miracle happened firsthand:
The Child Christ was born.

Slide 2

Reader 2

Today God was born...
Blessed is that day and hour,
When He appeared on earth
To take us to heaven.

Reader 3

The world was waiting for the Savior - the King
And He was born quietly, like the dawn,
Not in a rich palace, not in the capital,
Where it would be fitting for God to be born.

Reader 4

Born in a stable at midnight,
Having set an example of humility for us,
God was born under the sky of Bethlehem.
His birth is a whole poem.

Slide 3

Reader 5

Slide 4

And there was a miracle on earth,
And there was a miracle in heaven:
As the sun burst into rays
A star in the midnight darkness.
And the wise men carried their gifts after her to Bethlehem.
And on the straw there they found the King of kings

Slide 5

Student A golden, clear, multi-winged star rose into the sky at the hour of Christmas and shone over the whole world. From the rising of the messenger star, from the Nativity of Christ, we count the centuries.

Student. Slide 6

The ruler of Judea, the cruel King Herod, learned about the arrival of the wise men, looking for the newborn king of Judea in his country. Not the ruler of the earth, but the Savior of the world was born in a cave - a den near Bethlehem. And Herod heard and understood one thing in the jubilant speech of the Magi: in Judea was born the One who would take away from him, the Ruler, power over the whole earth. Herod sent warriors to Bethlehem to exterminate all boys under two years of age. And Herod’s warriors carried out his order.

Student. That same night, through the desert, the Holy Family fled to Egypt. The quietest, brightest night of the year is Christmas. According to ancient belief, on this night the heavens open and the wishes of pure hearts come true.

Teacher: In the 19th century, a special genre of story developed in literature - the Christmas (Yuletide) story. These stories amazingly combine the everyday and the existential, the momentary and the eternal.

Slide 7

F. M. Dostoevsky's story “The Boy at Christ's Christmas Tree” belongs specifically to the genre of Christmas stories. Christmastide is a holiday in honor of the Nativity of Christ, lasting until Epiphany - January 19. In the New Year, everyone wants to believe in good miracles. So in the plot of a Christmas story there is always a miracle, some kind of good surprise. And at the end of the story, even the most hopeless situation changes for the better, but the ending is not entirely good.

3. Work on the composition of the story. Frontal conversation

Teacher

Let's try to remember and isolate the compositional elements of the story. What is composition?

Composition is the construction of a verbal work. The composition of a story consists of exposition, beginning, development of action, climax and denouement.

What is part 1 of the story about? Slide 8

The first part is called “Boy with a Pen”. The author talks about hungry, ragged, homeless, human warmth and affection children who are scattered throughout Russia.

Teacher: Slide 9

Conclusion: Dostoevsky in the first part of the story gives a generalized portrait of children, hungry, deprived of everything, forced to endure humiliation and beatings.

The second part of the story is called “The Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree.”

Let's determine where the action in this story begins?

The action begins with Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky introducing readers to the boy. The boy is poorly dressed, he has a naive, trusting look, he is just beginning to master the profession of “a boy with a pen”, he begs, then gives money to a drunken gang. Such children have no future. They will steal, drink, and wander.

What serves as the beginning of the action in the story?

The plot begins with a description of life in the basement where the boy lived and an introduction to the boy himself. The author describes very little of the boy's appearance, noting his small stature, age - about seven years old, and clothing - some kind of robe. And the most important thing that Dostoevsky says is that the boy wants to eat.

We always judge a person's character by appearance. What character traits can be seen in this boy?

It seems to me that this boy has quite a good character; he is calm, not quick-tempered, undemanding, emotional.

How does the action develop? Slide 10, 11, 12

The development of the action is the moment when the boy finds himself in the city and the pictures that he saw there. He saw a wide street, where there were a lot of people, everyone was fussing and running. He also saw a large glass, and behind the glass there was a Christmas tree. In the room, children are having fun, playing, laughing. Even the boy wanted to laugh, but his fingers and toes hurt. The boy cried and ran on.

Highlight the most striking episode in the story.

The most striking episode is the episode when a quiet voice invites the boy to the Christmas tree, and the hero ends up on Christ's Christmas tree. This episode is the climax of the story.

What does the boy see on Christ's Christmas tree? Slide 12, 13, 14, 15

He saw a Christmas tree that he had never seen before, everything around was shining and sparkling, and boys and girls were circling around. There he saw his mother, who was looking at him and laughing, and then he saw Jesus stretching out his hands to the children and blessing everyone.

What's the outcome?

The boy is dying. The next morning the boy's body is found by a janitor. The boy died while collecting firewood.

The composition of the story determines the mood of the story. What was your mood when you read this story?

Sad, gloomy, depressing (when Dostoevsky shows the life of a boy, his wanderings through the streets of St. Petersburg), but also bright, joyful, radiating goodness. (when the boy finds himself on Christ’s Christmas tree)

It seems to me that the boy experienced feelings of admiration and joy when he admired the “tree up to the ceiling”; he was delighted by the lights, gold pieces of paper and apples. He could even hear music through the glass. I experienced the same feelings of joy and admiration when I read this episode of the story.

Teacher

The ending of the story is sad, but you would like the story to be cheerful, because Christmastide has just recently ended, and on holidays you especially believe in goodness, happiness, and expect some kind of miracle. I invite you to complete a creative task.

4. Creative task

1 group Try to come up with a happy ending to the story “The Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree”

2nd group A dream on the eve of Christmas. What could you have dreamed about on the eve of such a bright and joyful holiday?

While performing this task, P. I. Tchaikovsky’s play “January. At the fireplace"

Listening to written works

5. Summing up

Teacher: What a wonderful ending the guys came up with for F. M. Dostoevsky’s story “The Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree.” There is so much tenderness, warmth, joy in your stories. Dostoevsky ends his work with questions to himself and the reader. Let’s read the last paragraph and try to answer this question: “Why did I write such a story?”

Children's answers

Teacher: That's right, guys! For Dostoevsky it was important: if a child suffers and cries, it means that something is wrong in this world, it means that our life is unfair, that our life is structured incorrectly. But it is so important that every person remembers his childhood with love and joy. Then he himself will be fairer, kinder, more merciful. Open your hearts to people who need your help. Be merciful, kind, compassionate.

Teacher:

Long gone out in the winter darkness
Eastern star,
But we didn’t forget on earth
Birth of Christ.
How the shepherds came to Him
Until morning time
How the sages presented
He has his gifts.
How the king killed babies
Rewarding the killer
How a sent angel saved
Sacred Child.
Like preaching love
And the truth of the Divine,
Every year he was born again
For the Christmas holiday.
Long gone out in the winter darkness
Eastern star,
But not forgotten on earth
Birth of Christ.

6. Reflection

At the end of the lesson, I suggest coloring our Christmas tree. There are toys hanging on the Christmas tree. Write words on each toy that define the character of the person going to the Christmas tree.
