A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE DIRECTION "TIME"

"Time" - the direction is focused on a broad understanding of TIME as a historical and philosophical category, perceived in the interaction of momentary and eternal, real and imaginary, personal and universal, past and future. At the center of the discussion is man and time, society and era.

SHORT ADVICE TO GRADUATES from G.T. Egorayeva :

- with total volume introductions And conclusions should not exceedone third the whole essay;

- spend no more than 15 minutes choosing a topic; in case of difficulty with the choice of topic, you can use the method of elimination;

- do not change the topic in the process of writing an essay;

- draw up a plan on a draft (do not transfer to a clean copy);

- it is more convenient to write on one side of the draft so that the text of the essay is completely in front of your eyes; with margins, leaving room for permutations, insertions, etc.;

- number the pages of the draft;

- strictly adhere to the chosen topic; the essay should be logical, be a detailed answer to the main question-thesis;

- do not get lost in the retelling of the text;

- do not get carried away with long quotations and thereby artificially increase the volume of the essay;

- the same applies to the names of heroes, dates, etc. you can always get out of the situation by indicating an approximate date (“at the beginning of the century ...”, “refers to early lyrics ...”), replacing the forgotten name with the words “one of the heroes of Tolstoy ...”; "the antipode of the protagonist", etc.;

- the main ability to penetrate the essence of the work, reveal the topic, clearly follow the logic of presentation, avoiding various kinds of errors, express one's own opinion, attitude to what one writes about; at the same time, it is not advisable to use clichés (“In my opinion, Blok is a great poet”; “I believe that Gogol managed to create an image“little man ...”) is not an expression of one’s own opinion, but only its helpless imitation, which will only spoil the impression of the composition;

- it is convenient to use rhetoric techniques: pose questions, give different answers;

- draw on material from other works, from history, from life, thus revealing one's erudition and ability to compare;

An essay about

« Time is the fabric of which life is made (B . Franklin )»

We are always surrounded by time. We are in it! There is not a single person who would live apart from time. We are born, grow up, get older... And none of us can either turn back our biographical time or change... However, a person, it seems to me, can slow down his movement or speed it up! It depends on the "quality" of life . Such a time is described in many works of art. (61 words)

Let us recall the hero of the novel Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. His life is happening before our eyes. Here we see little Ilyusha, who is growing up as an active child. But Oblomov is already in the service. However, homely and spoiled, he quickly becomes disillusioned with the life of an official. The rush, the bustle, the daily arrival at the service quickly tire Ilya Ilyich, and he first goes on vacation on the basis of a “medical certificate”, and then completely resigns. And gradually "grows" to the sofa. The writer in several parts shows the "biographical time" of the hero - the stages of his life path. The first part lasts several hours, and all this time Ilya Ilyich either lies or sits on the sofa. Time has stopped for him. Then, in the second and third parts, time is growing rapidly: Stolz, a childhood friend, arrived, raised Oblomov from the sofa, introduced him to Ilyinskaya. Under the influence of Olga, the protagonist awakens. And the time of action here is several months. The life of Ilya Ilyich is filled with movement. Finally, the fourth part is the Vyborg side. Here Oblomov spends a long eight years. Long! Time stops again, because the hero returns to the state in which we see him at the beginning of the novel: he lies on the couch and does nothing. And, worst of all, he is comfortable - on the couch, in a dressing gown, in dreams ... Therefore, it does not matter at all how long he lives with Pshenitsyna, something else is important: sleepy peace envelops Oblomov, the present and the past merge and mix into unchanging, frozen time that has stopped: every day is like the last. So throughout the novel we see how Oblomov slows down or speeds up his time. And by stopping time, the hero stops life itself: “Lazy crawling from day to day quietly stopped the machine of life. Ilya Ilyich died, apparently, without pain, without torment, as if a clock that had been forgotten to start had stopped. ( 271 words)

What conclusion did I come to, reflecting on the proposed topic "Time is the fabric of which life consists." I think we should agree with the statement of B. Franklin, a US politician: our life consists of thin threads-instants, and it depends on each of us how strong and durable these threads will be, how interesting our life will be, we will oversleep it like Oblomov , or live brightly and correctly ...

Scheme 2:

INTERNET OF HISTORICAL AND PERSONAL TIME

COMMENTARY ON SCHEME No. 2

Personal time and historical time are so closely interconnected that they appear to be a single whole.

If there is trouble in the world (war, revolution, repression, ruthless regime), then a person fully experiences all the horrors of this universal tragedy.

If time flies forward, discoveries occur, for example, flight into space, then a person proudly and confidently looks into the future.

Personal memories necessarily come into contact with historical memory.

A person matures faster if events occur around that require the application of both the physical, intellectual, and spiritual forces of each of us.

We all overcome ourselves during our life, and the results of these overcomings depend on the character of a person, his determination, on the environment, on the time in which he lives.

Each of us understands that time is cyclical: past, present and future are inextricably linked. No wonder they say: "The future will not come to those who have forgotten the past."

OPTIONS FOR INTRODUCTIONS TO THE TOPIC "THE BREAKING TIME..."

Option entry

Example

The thesis "following" from the introduction, and the brace

Tips for Argumentation

1) emotional introduction to the topic

The day is drawing to a close. An ordinary autumn day ... And I'm sitting at the table and looking at a blank notebook sheet ... At school, they asked me to write an essay on the topic "Winning time ...". A strange name... Is it possible to defeat something that obeys no one and nothing? The glance accidentally fell on the bookshelf... Pushkin, Lermontov, Tolstoy... So here they are, having conquered time!

Indeed, famous writers have passed through the ages and have remained loved and in demand. Let's remember the masters of the word and their works that have overcome time

Tell us about any of the classic writers, about one of the classic works that is close, understandable, dear to you (M.B. Lermontov. “A Hero of Our Time”, I.S. Turgenev. “Fathers and Sons”, “Poems in Prose ”, A.N. Ostrovsky, plays, etc.)

2) entering into an argument with an imaginary interlocutor or an invitation to a conversation

Doesn't the theme of the essay “The Conquerors of Time” seem strange to you? Agree, time is duration of an activity or the existence of something. And everything in this world has an end. Answer, is it possible to push back this end or avoid it altogether? I think no. And yet there are things, concepts, values ​​that will never die.

For example, such moral values ​​as honor, friendship, philanthropy, love will remain eternal. Our desire for knowledge, for reading, will also remain eternal. Literature convinces me of the correctness of this point of view.

Refer to the works that reveal the problems of love, friendship, mercy, honor (A.S. Pushkin. "The Captain's Daughter", A.I. Kuprin. "Garnet Bracelet", I.A. Bunin. "Clean Monday", " Light breathing ", V. Rasputin. "French lessons", etc.)

3) justification of the reasons for addressing this topic

Everything flows, everything changes. A person is born, matures, grows old, dies... Alas, the law of life. However, I have always been interested in the question: is it possible to break this law and still overcome death, acquire immortality? And one day I realized: death can be defeated, and memory helps a person in this.

The one who remains in human memory will never die. I can prove the correctness of my point of view by referring to fiction.

Refer to the literature that glorifies the feat of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, for example, to the novel by A.A. Fadeev "The Young Guard" or "The Tale of a Real Man" by Boris Polevoy.

4) using the original quote

“You are not Dostoevsky,” said the citizen, confused by Koroviev.

“Well, who knows, who knows,” he answered.

“Dostoevsky is dead,” said the citizen, but somehow not very confidently.

- I protest, - Behemoth exclaimed hotly. - Dostoevsky is immortal!

Familiar lines from M.A. Bulgakov's novel "The Master and Margaret". I am sure that “Dostoevsky is immortal”, like all classic writers!

There are enduring values ​​that are not subject to time. This art is the art of the word... For evidence of my point of view, let's turn to works of fiction

Tell us about any of the classic writers, about one of the classic works that is close, understandable, dear to you (or several)

5) registration of the introduction in the form of questions

Can you beat time? Assuming that this is possible, then what needs to be done in order to win?

I think it is necessary to accomplish a feat in the name of people, and then the memory of you will remain for centuries. The literature convinces me of the correctness of this point of view.

Remember Margarita Aliger's poem "Zoya", which glorifies the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya.

You can refer to the book by Lev Kassil and Max Polyanovsky "The Street of the Youngest Son". It tells about a simple boy Volodya Dubinin, who died during the Great Patriotic War, defending his homeland. Posthumously awarded the Order of the Red Banner

You see, there is one topic, but the thesis can be formulated more than one, which means that this topic can be revealed on different literary material.

OUTLINES FOR FUTURE WORKS...

Theme "Lost Time"

What an amazing theme - "Lost Time". Lost... It seems to me that you can lose some thing, but time... However, if you think about it, we lose it very often. Try to analyze your day - minute by minute. Have you counted your wasted precious minutes? A lot of them? I think yes... Lost time avenges itself . Doubt? I will prove my point by referring to fiction.

Argument 1 - "The Tale of Lost Time" by Evgeny Lvovich Schwartz

Argument 2 - I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov"

You can conclude - wordsRichardWhateley, an English writer, who said:Lose one hour in the morning and you'll be looking for it the rest of the day."

SAME TOPIC

Lost time

So writes the Russian and Israeli writer Igor Mironovich Huberman, received wide known for his aphoristic and satirical quatrains - "gariks". (Introduction - 40 words)

Indeed, each of us has a past, present and future, and all three times are interconnected. Therefore, building the future, a person should think about his actions, attitude towards people, profession, and the world around him. You can’t waste time on empty talk, on lying on the couch, on insane money making, on inaction, and most importantly, you can’t cheat on yourself. A person must understand that lost time is a lost life. . (thesis - 64 words). The literature convinces me of the correctness of this point of view. (clip - 9 words)

1 argument - the story of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov "Ionych"

Argument 2 - a poem by M.Yu. Lermontov "Duma"

Sadly, I look at our generation!

His future is either empty or dark,

Meanwhile, under the burden of knowledge and doubt,

It will grow old in inaction.

We are rich, barely from the cradle,

The mistakes of the fathers and their late mind,

And life is already tormenting us, like a smooth path without a goal,

Like a feast at someone else's holiday. (fragment of a poem)

Conclusion.

What conclusion did I come to, reflecting on the topic “Lost Time”? Time is our treasure, which we do not value and waste. Hurrying life or slowing it down, a person misses the most important thing - life itself. Those who are used to putting everything off until later will be punished: the loss of time will turn into emptiness, loneliness, a sense of restlessness, early aging of the soul and body. It is not for nothing that Petya Zubov, the hero of the fairy tale by E. Schwartz, after passing all the tests, claims: “A person who wastes time in vain does not notice how he is getting old.” Let's listen to his words... (80 words)

SO YOU CAN START AN ESSAY... or END

1.

Time is a mirage, it shortens in moments of happiness and stretches out in hours of suffering. (R. Aldington)

The new becomes old

then the years go by

And the old will be replaced by the new:

so it was, so it will always be. (Rudaki)

If time is the most precious thing, then wasting time is the greatest waste. (B. Franklin)

Time goes slowly when you follow it... It feels like being watched. But it takes advantage of our distraction. It is even possible that there are two times: the one we follow and the one that transforms us. (A. Camus)

Hold the time! Guard it any hour, any minute. Without supervision, it will slip away like a lizard. Illuminate every moment with an honest, worthy accomplishment! Give it weight, meaning, light. (T.Mann)

It takes one day for some major evil to come into the world, but it will take several centuries to wipe it off the face of the earth. (L. Blanks)

Whoever does not remember his past is doomed to relive it again (D. Santayana, American philosopher).

The most sinister of all earthly sounds is the ticking of a clock. (V. Soloukhin)

A person who dares to waste an hour of time has not yet realized the value of life. (Charles Darwin)

10.

“Time is so fleeting when you are in a hurry somewhere, and so slow when you are waiting for something” (Jason Statham)

“Happy hours are not observed” (A.S. Griboyedov)

12.

If the present tries to judge the past, then it loses the future. (W. Churchill).

13.

Even the richest man is unable to redeem his past. (O. Wilde)

14.

15.

Choosing time means saving it. (Francis Bacon, English materialist philosopher)

16.

Time heals all wounds. (Russian proverb)

The future is acquired in the present. (Samuel Johnson, English writer, author of A Dictionary of the English Language)

Happy people count time in minutes, while for unhappy people it lasts for months. (James Fenimore Cooper, American writer)

PHRASES THAT MAY BE USEFUL...

1) We constantly lose time and it is unlikely that we will ever be able to find it: neither in the lost and found office, nor in a dark corner under the bed. Time cannot be returned, but it can be made up for, or at least learn not to regret the loss.

2) There are many opportunities for everyone to spend precious hours on television, computer games, mass media. But these ways to get away from important tasks and kill time are very obvious, like bad habits or empty talk.

3) Among the unknown in the nature around us, the most unknown is time, because no one knows what time is and how to manage it.

4) The fact that time either does not exist at all, or hardly exists, being something obscure, can be assumed on the basis of the following. One part of it was and no longer exists, the other is in the future and does not yet exist; From these parts, both infinite time and each time allocated a period of time are added. And what is composed of the non-existent cannot, as it seems, be involved in existence.

5) There is something indivisible in time, which we call "now". Nothing can be grasped in time except now. "Now" is a continuous connection of time, it connects the past with the future and in general is the boundary of time, being the beginning of one and the end of another. Since "now" is the end of the past and the beginning of the future, time always begins and ends. And it will never stop because it always starts. (Aristotle)

6) Time takes away everything; a long series of years is able to change the name, and appearance, and character, and fate.

7) Nothing is more painful for a wise person and nothing gives him more anxiety than the need to spend more time on trifles and useless things than they deserve.

QUOTATION MATERIAL

I.S. Turgenev

Poem in prose

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

How empty, and sluggish, and worthless is almost every day lived! How few traces he leaves behind! How senseless and stupid those hours passed after hours!

And meanwhile man wants to exist; he cherishes life, he hopes for it, for himself, for the future ... Oh, what blessings he expects from the future!

But why does he imagine that other, coming days will not be like this day just lived?

Yes, he does not imagine it. He does not like to think at all - and he does it well.

""Here's tomorrow, tomorrow!"" - he consoles himself until this ""tomorrow"" dumps him into the grave.

Well, once in the grave - involuntarily stop thinking.

May, 1879

A comment: you should pay attention to the words and synonymous combinations of words denoting time (tomorrow - every day - the future) After reading the poem, the conclusion suggests itself: do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today

All the best moments of his life were suddenly remembered to him at the same time. And Austerlitz with a high sky, and the dead, reproachful face of his wife, and Pierre on the ferry, and the girl excited by the beauty of the night, and this night, and the moon - all this suddenly came to mind to him ... (L.N. Tolstoy. “War and Peace "")

The past has a smell, taste and color,

The desire to teach, influence and mean,

And only one, unfortunately, is not -

Opportunities to reinvent yourself.

(I. Huberman)

Everything in the world the true price

Perfectly knows time - only it

Sweeps the husk, blows off the foam

And decanting wine into amphoras.

(I. Guberman, Russian writer, prose writer)

Ksenia Arkhipova

You paint me on the canvas of understanding

A thin brush of separation without the right to meet.

And the inaccuracy of the portrait is not worth attention,

Hardly anyone will notice. And I won't notice.

I entered your life with a light imprint of the past,

A reflection of hope doomed to death.

It is unlikely that people will dare to say something vulgar,

If you draw me naked...

Call my portrait "Young Romance"

And the model ... you can hug goodbye.

Parting before meeting is a ridiculous practice.

You and I are given to each other as punishment ...

We will not have peace, there will be no forgiveness,

And there will be no salvation in prayer and faith.

For you, I am a portrait in the labyrinth of oblivion,

Like the look of Beatrice in Alighieri's soul...

Arkady Grigorievich Vichuzhanin

Time, stop!
Day by day, hour by hour,
Our life goes on.
I want to shout out loud:
"Time! stop!"

Year after year the planet
In a new beauty rises.
The songs are not all sung
The poems are not all folded.

Overcoming the burden of the earth,
The missiles go up.
I want to shout: “Time!
Time! Stop!”

Life is short in the world.
Do not spare knowledge and strength:
Hurry up and for the time it is
Do everything for the people.

Andrey Dementiev

Don't regret anything

Never regret anything after
If what happened can't be changed.
Like a note from the past, crumpling your sadness,

With this past, break the fragile thread.

Never regret what happened.
Ile about what can't happen anymore.
If only the lake of your soul is not cloudy
Yes, hopes, like birds, soared in my soul.

Do not regret your kindness and participation.
Even if for all you - a smile in response.

Someone in the genius got out, someone in the authorities ...
Do not regret that you did not get their troubles.

You started late or left early.
Let someone play the flute brilliantly.
But he takes songs from your soul.

Never, never regret anything -
No wasted days, no burnt love.
Let the other brilliantly play the flute,
But you listened even more brilliantly.

I. Annensky

Minute

Patterned fabrics are so unsteady

Hot dust is so white, -

No words or smiles needed

Stay the way you were;

Stay obscure, dreary,

Pale autumn morning

Under this drooping willow,

Against a grid of shadows...

A minute - and the wind, darting,

Will scatter the sheets in patterns,

A minute - and the heart, waking up,

See that it's not you...

Stay without words, without a smile,

Stay like a ghost until

Patterned shadows are so unsteady

And the white dust is so sensitive...

F.I. Tyutchev

Oh Time! Eternity moving mirror! -

Everything collapses, falls under your hand! ..

Hidden is your limit and the beginning

From weak mortal eyes!..

Ages are born and disappear again

One century is erased by another;

What can escape from the wrath of Kron the evil?

What can stand before this formidable god? ..

Joseph Brodsky

Age is running out. Run

time requires sacrifice, ruins ...

Give him feelings, thoughts, plus

memories. Such is the appetite and the taste

time. I'm not in a hurry

but I submit. I'm not a coward; I'm ready to be the subject of

past, if such is the whim

time, looking down from above - or - over the shoulder -

for your prey...

G.R. Derzhavin.

The river of time in its striving

Takes away all the affairs of people

And drowns in the abyss of oblivion

Peoples, kingdoms and kings.

The poem was written two days before the death of the poet

Pavel Velikzhanin

Time slips through your fingers like blood
Gushing from a torn wound,
Arrows scratch eternity... But again
The mounds froze in silence.
And behind the scenes of the shadow theater
Only silhouettes glide with inspiration,
Quietly swings the pendulum of days,
Like the breath of a sleeping universe.

Times don't choose...

Times don't choose

They live and die in them.

More vulgarity in the world

No, than to beg and blame.

As if you can those on these

As in the market, change.

Whatever the age, the iron age.

But the wonderful garden smokes,

A cloud is shining; me at five years old

Should have been from scarlet fever

Die, live in the innocent

An age in which there is no grief.

You read yourself lucky

Don't you want to live under Grozny?

Don't dream of the plague

Florentine and leprosy?

Wanna ride first class

And not in the hold, in the semi-darkness?

Whatever the age, the iron age.

But the wonderful garden smokes,

A cloud is shining; hug

Time is a test.

Don't envy anyone.

A tight hug.

Time is skin, not dress.

Deep is his seal.

Like fingerprints,

With us - his features and folds,

If you look closely, you can take it off.

Times don't choose

They live and die in them.

More vulgarity in the world

No, than to beg and blame.

As if you can those on these

As in the market, change.

Whatever the age, the age of iron,

But the wonderful garden smokes,

A cloud is shining; hug

My century, my rock goodbye.

Time is a test.

Don't envy anyone...

Osip Mandelstam

For the explosive valor of the coming centuries,

For the high tribe of people

I lost the cup at the feast of the fathers,

And fun, and his honor.

A wolfhound age throws itself on my shoulders,

But I'm not a wolf by my blood,

Stuff me better, like a hat, in a sleeve

Hot fur coat of the Siberian steppes.

So as not to see a coward or a flimsy filth,

No bloody blood in the wheel

So that blue foxes shine all night

Me in my primeval beauty,

Take me to the night where the Yenisei flows

And the pine reaches the star

Because I'm not a wolf by my blood

And only an equal will kill me.

A.A. Akhmatova

What is war, what is plague? - the end is in sight for them,

Their verdict is almost pronounced.
But who will protect us from the horror that
Was the run of time once named?

O. Khayyam

If the day has passed, do not remember it,
Do not groan in fear before the coming day,
Don't worry about the future and the past
Know the price of today's happiness!

Museum of Forgotten Old Things

(feature article)

Once in the workshop of the artist Vladimir Sergeevich Vasilkovsky, I saw an album where he painted people of the 30s. By memory. Adult aunts and uncles from his childhood. I flipped through the pages and found out. The drawings came to life, moved, people began to appear from my memory, dressed in costumes of those years, familiar, as if the artist had spied my memories. Our streets, our yard, cabbies... It was the city where we both spent our childhood. And most importantly, I also remembered different things that were then, but now they are not. Some things have become unnecessary, others have changed, and others, perhaps, will return.

It was then that we decided to collect everything that was preserved in our memory: the artist will draw, and I will tell you in order to somehow capture the face of that reality, because, unfortunately, we have almost no museums of the history of our Soviet life. Such museums, of course, there will be, but there are things that will not get into these museums, they cannot be placed there, for example, the crackling of birch logs in the stove ...

Old things are just signs left by a past life. It seems to another that they stick out like unnecessary stumps, but for an attentive soul, the annual rings keep the scope of the shady crowns that rustled here, the crackle of frost, the withering heat of an old summer.

Our boyish life is remembered through things vividly and objectively. In childhood, special relationships are established with things, intimate. In childhood, things talk, live. Any things, up to the pattern of wallpaper, rugs, piggy banks have their own physiognomies, their own character ... Many of them are remembered all my life, they kept our secrets, we talked with them. Items may return. You don't have to say goodbye to the past. Childhood will sooner or later remind of itself. It's not about nostalgia. We return to childhood for kindness, tenderness, for the joy of rain and delight in front of the vastness of the sky. Of course, those feelings cannot be returned. Mirrors are forgetful. From their depths, one cannot extract past reflections. Mirrors do not age, their frames age. Memory must be resolved by recollection, as thought by a word. She needs listeners, paper and pen, finally, some kind of object.

The city of the 30s is preserved by the memory of former boys and girls. In this reserve, he is seductive in watercolor. In fact, this city was not so good, but there are recognizable features in it, uniquely ardent. Inspiration and call ... Now the city has become much more beautiful, richer, healthier, resounded in the shoulders. Why, then, again and again do we peer into his appearance, looking for in him, first of all, that, not at all so prosperous, but nevertheless happy, past? ..

B. Slutsky

Time

Happiness is a circle. And man
Slowly like a clock hand
Moves towards the end, that is, towards the beginning,
Moves in a circle, that is, in childhood,
In the pink bald head of a baby,
In frisky preschool agility,
In kindness, gaiety, even stupidity.

And misfortune is a sharp corner.
Hour hand - stop right there!

And the minute - hurry to close,
Driving a person into a corner.

Instead of late baldness, misfortune
Selects early gray hair
And quietly picking holes
In the belt - one, the other,
Third, without expecting anything,
Knowing everything.
Unhappiness is knowledge.

The final essay is a written reflection on a specified topic, which every 11th grader must pass without fail for admission to the Unified State Examinations (USE). In December 2018-2019, schoolchildren will write this type of work for the 5th time, because it has been approved in Russia since 2014.

A prerequisite for a well-written final essay is the presence of arguments - justifications for the chosen position, which are based on works of Russian or foreign classical literature. So what arguments will help schoolchildren cope with the task this year?

General Facts

The minimum amount of the final essay is 250 words, while experts recommend writing more - an average of about 300-350 words in order to cover the topic fully and comprehensively. The structure of the work is not regulated, however, practice shows that such written reflections that contain 3 key blocks receive the highest number of points: introduction, main part and conclusion with conclusions. You have 3 hours and 55 minutes to write your essay. The guys have the opportunity to refer to spelling dictionaries, which should be available in the office in sufficient quantities.

The highest score for the final essay is 10 points. Even if the student makes 1 minor spelling mistake, the expert commission will give him the maximum possible number of points. The final assessment depends on how the teenager takes into account the fundamental criteria. These include:

1. Subject fit. It is important to write the final essay only in the context of a given topic/question, not to spread your thoughts along the tree and not move on to consideration of third-party problems.
2. Argumentation and attraction of literary material. It is not enough just to express a certain position - in your arguments you also need to rely on at least one work of a Russian or foreign classic. It is important to demonstrate not only knowledge of the material, but also the ability to analyze it. When writing the final essay of 2018-2019, a simple retelling or superficial mention of the works will not be enough.
3. Composition and logic of reasoning. Here the structure of the work and the sequence of presentation are evaluated. It is recommended that each new thought begin with a new paragraph. At the same time, the main part should be larger in volume than the introduction and conclusion (in total, the last blocks should be about 1/3 of the entire text).
4. The quality of writing. In his reasoning, a high school student will need to use synonyms and various speech turns, and, conversely, avoid clichés and lexical repetitions.
5. Literacy. It checks for the presence / absence of spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors.

Directions and topics

Each final essay must be written in accordance with a specific topic. However, they are only opened 15 minutes before the start of the test. Despite this, there is an opportunity to prepare in advance for writing the final essay in 2018-2019, because both teachers and their wards are aware of the so-called. "global directions". The final topics that the students will receive will necessarily fit within the framework of these particular areas.

In other words, the topics will simply turn out to be more detailed, fractional, concretized. But knowledge of the directions allows you to orient yourself and even pick up suitable arguments from the literary works of the national school curriculum at the present moment. There will be 5 directions in total.

Fathers and Sons

Arguments for the final essay of 2018-2019 in the global direction "Fathers and Sons" can be found in the work of the same name by I.S. Turgenev. The novel "Fathers and Sons" is one of the most suitable for substantiating theses related to the problem of "generational conflict". The representatives of the "generation of children" are Evgeny Bazarov (the main character) and Arkady Kirsanov, and the representatives of the "generation of fathers" are Pavel Petrovich and Nikolai Petrovich Kirsanov.

The book shows how young people who position themselves as nihilists (deniers of generally accepted norms) devalue the experience of adults who are considered non-progressive traditionalists. In turn, the older generation also does not seek to understand the youth. In conclusion, the author debunks the teachings of nihilism and proclaims the only way through which it is possible to end the eternal conflict is the reunion of relatives who have learned to love each other after knowing suffering.

Other works to bring arguments to the topics in the direction of "Fathers and Sons" in the December 2018-2019 essay:

• DI. Fonvizin, play "Undergrowth";
• M.Yu. Lermontov, poem "Mtsyri";
• N.V. Gogol, story "Taras Bulba";
• A.S. Pushkin, story "The Captain's Daughter".

Dream or reality

The direction "Dream or Reality" is deeply philosophical, because. makes you think about the interweaving of the most cherished human desires and reality. An example of a positive heroine who remains true to her dream and does everything possible to make it come true is Marya Mironova from A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter"

All that Masha, the daughter of the commandant of the Belogorsk fortress, wants is to live peacefully and happily with her beloved, who becomes officer Pyotr Grinev. However, the girl has to overcome many trials on her way before she finally reunites with her love, because both Peter and Masha fall into the thick of the Pugachev uprising. Despite this, the girl does not give up on her dream and does not lose her fortitude. Even when hope is almost lost, she takes fate into her own hands and goes to Empress Catherine II with a request to contribute to the release of Peter. Thanks to fearlessness, Masha achieves a dream come true, namely, she becomes the wife of her beloved man.

Also, arguments for the December essay of 2018-2019 in the direction of "Dream and Reality" can be found in the following works:

• F.M. Dostoevsky, the novel "Crime and Punishment" (Rodion Raskolnikov as an example of a dangerous dreamer who should be afraid of his desires);
• A.N. Ostrovsky, play "Thunderstorm".

Revenge and generosity

Here the student will have the opportunity to compare the most diverse aspects and qualities of human nature: kindness and malice, mercy and cruelty, peacefulness and aggressiveness...

Inconsistency, negativity, pettiness, stupidity and the all-destroying beginning of revenge were vividly shown by A.S. Pushkin in his novel "Eugene Onegin". The destructive feeling with which the protagonist lights up leads to the fact that he kills his once good friend in a duel - kind little Vladimir Lensky. At the same time, an example of a deeply generous person is found in the work - we are talking about Tatyana Larina, who throughout the whole novel puts the feelings of the people around her above her own (for example, at the end of the book she rejects Onegin who fell in love with her because she cannot betray her husband) .

Additionally, arguments in the direction of "Revenge and generosity" for the final essay of 2018-2019 can be found in the following books:

• A.S. Pushkin, the story "The Captain's Daughter" (Emelyan Pugachev as a person who knows how to be generous and noble in relation to those who deserve it);
• M.Yu. Lermontov, the novel "A Hero of Our Time" (part of "Princess Mary" and, in particular, the vindictiveness of Grushnitsky's nature).

Art and craft

The theme of the purpose of a creative person (writer, artist, musician, etc.) is one of the fundamental ones in literature. It is possible to analyze the phenomenon of creativity and reflect the importance of creative work thanks to the work of A.T. Tvardovsky "Vasily Terkin". The poem shows how music uplifts the spirit and warms the soul of those who hear it, even when the hardest times of war are raging around. However, the music that allows people to forget about sorrows does not exist on its own - it is carried into this world by a musician, who here is the harmonist Vasily Terkin.

Also, arguments for topics in the direction of "Art and Craft" are found in the following authors:

• V. Korolenko, story "The Blind Musician";
• A.P. Chekhov, story "Rothschild's Violin";
• K.G. Paustovsky, story "Basket with fir cones".

Kindness and cruelty

This direction partially echoes the direction "Revenge and generosity". Here the emphasis is on the importance of a humanistic attitude to life in general, to any life, regardless of who owns it.

In the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" the main character, Rodion Raskolnikov, decides to kill the old money-lender. Rodion thinks that he is better than a worthless old woman, and, therefore, has the right to rid the world of her existence. However, when the hero commits a murder, he realizes that in reality he is worse, many times worse than the most useless and vicious of the old women. Sonya Marmeladova, whom he met on the path of life, helps him finally understand this - an example of kindness, virtue and forgiveness. Thanks to her, Raskolnikov abandons inhuman ideas and changes his worldview.

Other examples in the direction of "Kindness and cruelty":

• N.V. Gogol, the story "The Overcoat" (the cruelty of a hypocritical and evil society is opposed by the kindness, simplicity and harmlessness of Akaky Akakievich);
• M.A. Sholokhov, the novel “The Quiet Flows the Don” (calleness and cruelty can arise in a person’s soul under the influence of external circumstances, as happened with the Cossack peasant Grigory, who was forced to go to war and start killing so as not to die himself).

Time ... And why do we not appreciate it! We hasten to live, as they say! But is it worth the haste? We all need to stop, look around ... For a moment in this crazy modern rhythm, think about whether we are wasting time, always rushing about business. The problem of attentive attitude to time is raised in his text by Vladimir Fedorovich Kravchenko. The author wonders why time should be valued?

In the text presented to us, V. F. Kravchenko, a Russian publicist writer, reflects on the above problem through the hero-narrator. The hero-narrator is located in the city of Sviyazhsk, where the island man "lives his life slowly and in detail."

The hero, a little tired from the road, “falls into a feather grass near two trees” and begins to notice the surrounding beauty. “The sky ... turned blue, like in a windy March. Closer to the western edge, an elusive pearl turbidity was mixed with its clear azure. After taking a short nap, the hero noticed that for all the time spent, "no one disturbed" him. The narrator realized that "this pause ... carried some meaning." Further, the hero comes to the conclusion that the key to the “charm of this place” lies in the psychology of the islanders. “Island man lives his life slowly and in detail” is the answer. That's what fascinated him.

I fully share the position of the author. After all, indeed, we do not value time, we do not appreciate every minute, second. And constantly hurrying, we do not appreciate what we have. This issue has been worrying people for a long time. Many works have been written on the problem of the value of the moment. So, for example, in the work of Paustovsky "Telegram" the girl did not value time. In the story, the girl completely forgot about her mother. And when she received a telegram that her mother had died, the girl suddenly realized her mistake. But, unfortunately, it's too late.

Also, this problem is raised in the work of A. I. Solzhenitsyn “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich”. In the story, Ivan Denisovich realizes the importance, the value of time. He is grateful for those things that seem completely ordinary to us. He is grateful to the fact that he did not freeze, to the fact that he managed to finish his cigarette after a friend, to the fact that he got not one serving, but two whole. He appreciates the moment and you can learn from him.

So, after thinking about the problem a little, I want to say that we need to start appreciating every moment in our lives. Sometimes the realization of value comes too late. Therefore, I want to thank VF Kravchenko for the opportunity to think.

« The only measure of time is memory » (Vladislav Grzegorchik)

Chingiz Aitmatov called a man, who does not remember his kinship, who lost his memory, mankurt (“Stormy stop”). Mankurt is a man forcibly deprived of memory. This is a slave who has no past. He does not know who he is, where he comes from, does not know his name, does not remember childhood, father and mother - in a word, he does not realize himself as a human being.

M. Bulgakov. "Master and Margarita" The power of good, the human power that Yeshua embodies in himself, is that he sees the soul of another, understands him and tries to help him.

A.A. Akhmatova "Requiem"

Sholokhov "Don Stories" In "Don Stories" Sholokhov expressed his entire attitude to the terrible events of the civil war, which was a tragedy of the Russian people. War is destructive for both sides in general and is triple tragic when brother fights against brother, neighbor against neighbor, against each other. For a nation, a civil war is a great tragedy, since it does not bring any positive progressive result, such as, for example, national liberation wars. Such a war brings only irreparable losses, cripples souls, divides native people into "their own" and "enemies", which can become a member of one's own family - father, son, brother, brings senseless, unjustified cruelty, a surge of the most cruel, dark and gloomy emotions.

A. Kuprin wrote the story "The Wonderful Doctor", based on real events. Mertsalov, exhausted by poverty, is ready to commit suicide in despair, but the well-known doctor N.I. Pirogov, who happened to be nearby, speaks to him. He helps the unfortunate, and from that moment on, the life of the failed suicide and the life of his family changes in the happiest way. This story speaks eloquently of the fact that the act of one person can affect the fate of other people.

In the novel "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy, one of the central problems is the problem of the role of the individual in history. Alexander the First, Napoleon, Kutuzov - this is an incomplete list of historical figures shown in the novel. Who among them can claim to be the creator of history, a great man? According to Tolstoy, a great man bears in himself the moral foundations of the people and feels his moral obligation to people. Alexander the First cannot always understand what is most important for the people, the country at the moment. Napoleon's ambitious claims betray in him a person who does not understand the significance of the events that are taking place. “There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth,” Tolstoy passes such a sentence on Napoleon. He calls Kutuzov a great man, since he set the interests of the whole people as the goal of his activities. It expresses the people's soul and patriotism.

F. M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment". The real reason for Raskolnikov's crime was the desire to test his theory. Its essence was that Raskolnikov divided all people into those who "have the right" and "trembling creatures." The former live in obedience, the latter transgress the law, destroyers. Lycurgus, Mohammed, Solon, Napoleon - all these great people were criminals who shed a lot of blood. It is these people, according to Raskolnikov's theory, that "move the world and lead it to the goal." insolvency

“Time is the fabric that life is made of. (B. Franklin)"

We are always surrounded by time. We are in it! There is not a single person who would live apart from time. We are born, grow up, get older... And none of us can either turn back our biographical time or change... However, a person, it seems to me, can slow down his movement or speed it up! It depends on the "quality" of life. Such a time is described in many works of art.

Let us recall the hero of the novel Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. His life is happening before our eyes. Here we see little Ilyusha, who is growing up as an active child. But Oblomov is already in the service. However, homely and spoiled, he quickly becomes disillusioned with the life of an official. The rush, the bustle, the daily arrival at the service quickly tire Ilya Ilyich, and he first goes on vacation on the basis of a “medical certificate”, and then completely resigns. And gradually "grows" to the sofa. The writer in several parts shows the "biographical time" of the hero - the stages of his life path. The first part lasts several hours, and all this time Ilya Ilyich either lies or sits on the sofa. Time has stopped for him. Then, in the second and third parts, time is growing rapidly: Stolz, a childhood friend, arrived, raised Oblomov from the sofa, introduced him to Ilyinskaya. Under the influence of Olga, the protagonist awakens. And the time of action here is several months. The life of Ilya Ilyich is filled with movement. Finally, the fourth part is the Vyborg side. Here Oblomov spends a long eight years. Long! Time stops again, because the hero returns to the state in which we see him at the beginning of the novel: he lies on the couch and does nothing. And, worst of all, he is comfortable - on the couch, in a dressing gown, in dreams ... Therefore, it does not matter at all how long he lives with Pshenitsyna, something else is important: sleepy peace envelops Oblomov, the present and the past merge and mix into unchanging, frozen time that has stopped: every day is like the last. So throughout the novel we see how Oblomov slows down or speeds up his time. And by stopping time, the hero stops life itself: “Lazy crawling from day to day quietly stopped the machine of life. Ilya Ilyich died, apparently, without pain, without torment, as if a clock that had been forgotten to start had stopped.

What conclusion did I come to, reflecting on the proposed topic "Time is the fabric of which life consists." I think we should agree with the statement of B. Franklin, a US politician: our life consists of thin threads-instants, and it depends on each of us how strong and durable these threads will be, how interesting our life will be, we will oversleep it like Oblomov , or live brightly and correctly ...

COMMENTARY ON SCHEME No. 2

"Intertwining historical and personal time"

Personal time and historical time are so closely interconnected that they appear to be a single whole.

If there is trouble in the world (war, revolution, repression, ruthless regime), then a person fully experiences all the horrors of this universal tragedy.

If time flies forward, discoveries occur, for example, flight into space, then a person proudly and confidently looks into the future.

Personal memories necessarily come into contact with historical memory.

A person matures faster if events occur around that require the application of both the physical, intellectual, and spiritual forces of each of us.

We all overcome ourselves during our life, and the results of these overcomings depend on the character of a person, his determination, on the environment, on the time in which he lives.

Variants of introductions to the theme "Defeated time ..."

OUTLINES FOR FUTURE WORKS

Composition

"Lost time"

INTRODUCTION

What an amazing theme - "Lost Time". Lost... It seems to me that you can lose some thing, but time... However, if you think about it, we lose it very often. Try to analyze your day - minute by minute. Have you counted your wasted precious minutes? A lot of them? I think so... Lost time avenges itself. Doubt? I will prove my point by referring to fiction.

ARGUMENT 1

"The Tale of Lost Time" by Evgeny Lvovich Schwartz. (The author, trying to reach out to people, says with the whole plot of his fairy tale: “Do not waste time in vain, it will not come back!”)

ARGUMENT 2

I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov"

CONCLUSION

We can conclude with the words of Richard Whately, the English writer, who said: “Lost one hour in the morning and you will be looking for it all the rest of the day.”

Composition

"Lost time"

INTRODUCTION

The past has a smell, taste and color,

The desire to teach, influence and mean,

And only one, unfortunately, is not -

Opportunities to reinvent yourself.

So writes the Russian and Israeli writer Igor Mironovich Huberman, who became widely known for his aphoristic and satirical quatrains - "gariks".

Indeed, each of us has a past, present and future, and all three times are interconnected. Therefore, building the future, a person should think about his actions, attitude towards people, profession, and the world around him. You can’t waste time on empty talk, on lying on the couch, on insane money making, on inaction, and most importantly, you can’t cheat on yourself. A person must understand that lost time is a lost life. The literature convinces me of the correctness of this point of view.

ARGUMENT 1

The story of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov "Ionych"

ARGUMENT 2

Poem by M.Yu. Lermontov "Duma"

Sadly, I look at our generation!

His future is either empty or dark,

Meanwhile, under the burden of knowledge and doubt,

It will grow old in inaction.

We are rich, barely from the cradle,

The mistakes of the fathers and their late mind,

And life is already tormenting us, like a smooth path without a goal,

Like a feast at someone else's holiday.

CONCLUSION

What conclusion did I come to, reflecting on the topic “Lost Time”? Time is our treasure, which we do not value and waste. Hurrying life or slowing it down, a person misses the most important thing - life itself. Those who are used to putting everything off until later will be punished: the loss of time will turn into emptiness, loneliness, a sense of restlessness, early aging of the soul and body. It is not for nothing that Petya Zubov, the hero of the fairy tale by E. Schwartz, after passing all the tests, claims: “A person who wastes time in vain does not notice how he is getting old.” Let's listen to his words...

• If time is the most precious thing, then wasting time is the greatest waste. (B. Franklin)

PHRASES THAT MAY BE USEFUL...

1) We constantly lose time and it is unlikely that we will ever be able to find it: neither in the lost and found office, nor in a dark corner under the bed. Time cannot be returned, but it can be made up for, or at least learned not to regret the loss.

2) There are many opportunities for everyone to spend precious hours on television, computer games, mass media. But these ways to get away from important tasks and kill time are very obvious, like bad habits or empty talk.

3) Among the unknown in the nature around us, the most unknown is time, because no one knows what time is and how to manage it.

4) The fact that time either does not exist at all, or hardly exists, being something obscure, can be assumed on the basis of the following. One part of it was and no longer exists, the other is in the future and does not yet exist; From these parts, both infinite time and each time allocated a period of time are added. And what is composed of the non-existent cannot, as it seems, be involved in existence.

5) There is something indivisible in time, which we call "now". Nothing can be grasped in time except now. "Now" is a continuous connection of time, it connects the past with the future and in general is the boundary of time, being the beginning of one and the end of another. Since "now" is the end of the past and the beginning of the future, time always begins and ends. And it will never stop because it always starts. (Aristotle)

6) Time takes away everything; a long series of years is able to change the name, and appearance, and character, and fate.

7) Nothing is more painful for a wise person and nothing gives him more anxiety than the need to spend more time on trifles and useless things than they deserve. Museum of Forgotten Old Things

Once in the workshop of the artist Vladimir Sergeevich Vasilkovsky, I saw an album where he painted people of the 30s. By memory. Adult aunts and uncles from his childhood. I flipped through the pages and found out. The drawings came to life, moved, people began to appear from my memory, dressed in costumes of those years, familiar, as if the artist had spied my memories. Our streets, our yard, cabbies... It was the city where we both spent our childhood. And most importantly, I also remembered different things that were then, but now they are not. Some things have become unnecessary, others have changed, and others, perhaps, will return.
