K. Paustovsky "Warm bread"

Many people have been familiar with the touching story of a wounded, hungry horse since childhood. This story is called "Warm Bread". Not everyone knows who the author of this work is. Paustovsky wrote “Warm Bread”. A summary of the story will help you quickly find out where it all began and how the story ended. The work teaches goodness, the importance of admitting and correcting your mistakes. The author is a recognized master of artistic description of nature. Reading the lines, it seems as if you are a witness to everything that is happening.

Story "Warm Bread". Paustovsky. Summary

The story begins with a sad event. A wounded horse clearly appears before the reader’s eyes. The miller of the village of Berezhki took pity on the animal and took him in. But it was not easy for the elderly man to feed his horse in winter. After all, at this time there is no fresh grass for the horse to nibble, and the miller apparently did not have any surplus food.

The feeling of hunger forced the horse to walk around the yards in search of food. They brought him carrots, beet tops - whatever they could. Only the indifferent boy Philemon did not feed the animal. Paustovsky then continues his story “Warm Bread” with a characterization of the young character. A brief summary will tell you about this. Philemon was unkind, for which the grandmother with whom he lived reproached the guy. But the boy doesn’t care. He almost always said the same thing: “Screw you.” Filka responded the same way to the hungry horse, who reached for the edge of the bread. The boy hit the animal on the lips and threw the piece into the snow.

Punishment

Further, Paustovsky’s work “Warm Bread” talks about retribution for what he did. It seemed that nature itself wanted to punish for such cruelty. A snowstorm immediately began, and the temperature outside dropped sharply. This caused the water at the mill to freeze. And now the whole village risked remaining hungry, since there was no way to grind grain into flour and bake delicious buns from it. Filka's grandmother frightened the guy even more by talking about a similar act, only in relation to a legless, hungry soldier. The culprit of that incident soon died, and the nature of the village of Berezhki did not please with either a flower or a leaf for another 10 years. After all, then there was also a snowstorm and it became sharply cold.

This is the punishment Paustovsky prescribed for a serious offense in his story “Warm Bread”. The summary smoothly comes to a conclusion. After all, everything must end well.

Atonement

Frightened by such consequences of his action, Filimon gathered the guys to break the ice around the mill with axes and crowbars. Old people also came to help. Grown men were at the front then. People worked all day, and nature appreciated their efforts. Paustovsky describes her as alive in his work “Warm Bread”. The summary can be concluded with the fact that in the village of Berezhki a warm wind suddenly blew, and water poured onto the blades of the mill. Filka's grandmother baked bread from the ground flour, the boy took one loaf and took it to the horse. He did not immediately, but took the treat and made peace with the child, placing his head on his shoulder.

This is how Paustovsky kindly ends his work. “Warm bread” reviews were mostly positive. In 1968, a small book was published, the illustrations for which you see in the article. Then a cartoon based on the interesting work was shot.

This literary fairy tale by K. G. Paustovsky, more like a true story, makes us think about love and cordiality, about indifference and its consequences, about the possibility of making amends for the harm caused, about mercy and forgiveness. One plot connects the present and the past, people and animals, guilt and redemption.

History of creation

In 1954, nine years after the end of the war, a children's writer told the children an amazing story about good and evil. The work was first published in the famous magazine “Murzilka”, and later, in 1973, a short cartoon of the same name was shot.

Story Analysis

Description of the story

The plot of the story takes place during wartime in a simple village. The life of the peasants is hard and difficult; there is not enough food. The old miller Pankrat, having sheltered a crippled horse, who by chance ended up in Berezhki, is unable to feed the poor fellow. The villagers treat the horse kindly and help to the best of their ability. Only the angry and aggressive Filka, indifferent to those around him and the concerns of others, hurt the horse. Callousness turned into a disaster for the village: severe cold set in, a harbinger of starvation.

Wanting to help cope with the general misfortune, the boy offers his way out of the critical situation.

Realizing that he was wrong, Filka does everything possible to compensate for his rash step, and in the end he makes peace with the horse, treating him to warm bread.

Main characters

Distrust, heartlessness, anger, unsociability, callousness and greed characterize the central character of the work - Filka, a teenager living with his grandmother. By refusing any proposals and requests from friends, he can often offend an old woman with his disdainful attitude. There is no kindness in his heart either towards people or animals.

The boy understands the cruelty and irreversibility of his prank only after talking with his grandmother, and, having comprehended what he has done, rushes to correct the situation. Having found the strength to admit her mistake, Filka appears before the reader from the other side: we see genuine hard work, sincere repentance, intelligence, and organizational skills. The teenager showed the villagers his positive qualities and made them believe him.

Melnik Pankrat

Another main character in the fairy tale “Warm Bread” is the mysterious miller Pankrat, who gave shelter to a wounded horse. The old man acquired patience and wisdom, responsiveness and prudence, practicality and foresight over the many years of his life. Knowing the true value of things, he does not deny Filka the opportunity to atone, realizing that every person has good sides.

In the exposition, the reader gets acquainted with the scene of action and the main characters. The plot of the story is the ugly step of a heartless boy, which brought about sad consequences.

Using a strict sequence of events, the writer allows us to trace the gradual revelation of the character of the hero, clearly showing the motivation for his behavior.

The denouement of the tale is the reconciliation of the boy and the horse, the repentance of one and the forgiveness of the other.

In simple words, Paustovsky speaks of spiritual generosity, compassion, and responsiveness. Good thoughts and actions respond well, but callousness inevitably turns into evil and troubles. The writer is confident that having realized a mistake in time and repented, every person has a chance to change the situation, make amends, and become more merciful.

Examination. Answers: 1A, 2B, 3B, 4A, 5B, 6A, 7A, 8B,

U.Look at the topic of today's lesson. What are we going to talk about today? Pay attention to each word that is key. (The main problem of the work is) We will talk about the main problem of the work and the genre of the work. Let's start with the genre.

What is the genre?

What kind of fairy tale is this work?

I conducted a little research work on this issue... (Student’s speech The author is a specific person - the writer The work exists in written form There is only one version of a fairy tale)

Let's move on to the next keyword. Let's talk about the main problem of the fairy tale. But first, let's define it. Before you give your answer, listen to the song carefully. (Song “The Road of Good”)

So what is the main problem of the fairy tale “Warm Bread” (The Kindness Problem)

Teacher: Let's remember the types of fairy tales, guys (a fairy tale, a fairy tale about animals, a social fairy tale).

Teacher: What type of fairy tale “Warm Bread” is? (Social and everyday fairy tale)

Teacher: Okay. Types of fairy tales remembered. Since this is a social fairy tale, the main characters of such a fairy tale are people. The actions of which hero in this work reveal the problem of kindness? (Filka) It is which heroes help to reveal it more deeply. Compose on the board cluster(Filka, horse, grandmother, Pankrat, residents of Berezhki)

Where does the main action begin, where does the conflict begin? (F. offended the horse) Continue

Sins of Filka. Continue the sentences:
1) called names(horse) “devil”, “Christ-eater”;
2) hit on the lips;
3) threw the bread to the ground;
4) didn't sharewith the hungry and needy

– How do you evaluate Filka’s action?

(Filka did everything without thinking, because he was unkind, indifferent to those around him, it was not for nothing that they nicknamed him “Well, you,” he had a cold heart).

– What followed his evil act?

(For human malice, nature punished the villagers: she sent a severe frost, threatening inevitable death from cold and hunger)

It is from this moment that Filka’s difficult path to goodness begins.

Is it possible to change evil? (When you understand your mistakes and want to correct them).

When did Filka realize that he was evil and cruel? (When he listened to his grandmother's story about the evil man).

Let's remember what grandma told us.( One student tells his grandmother’s parable).

Guys, what do you think Filka was thinking about while listening to his grandmother? (He compared himself to an evil man).

How did the boy behave? (He shrank in his sheepskin coat, even though he was at home. He felt cold and scared. Filka realized that he had greatly offended the horse and must atone for his guilt).

Why did the evil man die? (from cooling the heart)

What other fairy-tale hero had an icy heart? But Kai was saved by Gerda.

Filka’s heart would also “freeze” if he….I didn’t understand my mistake, I didn’t realize my guilt.

What happened to Filka after her grandmother’s story?

(He thought, cried, asked for advice.)

Paustovsky shows that if you realize your guilt, you can somehow correct it.

Why did Filka decide to go to Grandfather Pankrat? (He is old, wise, and can give Filka the right advice. Yes, he also has a horse, and Filka needs to ask the horse for forgiveness).

Why didn’t the grandmother stop her grandson, because the snowstorm was howling and he could have gotten lost?

(She said: “...you have to hope.” This means that the grandmother believed her grandson, she hopes that he will correct his guilt, and most importantly, he will understand: only good deeds can atone for evil.

How does Filka do this? (The story of F. Pankrat’s visit and his further actions)

WORKING ON THE FAIRY TALE ENDING.

1. Expressive reading of a passage (4 people)

- - Guys, is it hard to ask for forgiveness, to forgive?

- Was it easy for Filka to do this?

Did the horse forgive Filka?

Leo Tolstoy has an expression: “To believe in good, you need to start doing it.” Warmth warms hearts, so Filka’s cold heart thawed. The main thing is that Filka understood that only goodness makes a person happy.

But for this, Filka had to go through a long and difficult path.

---- Has Filka changed?

!!! (Yes, he became kinder, more responsible, learned to worry about all the village residents, to live in peace with them).

In front of you are the prepared parts of the tables, which we will now need to fill out on the board. Attach your workpiece to the required column. (Fuck you - Filka, ignorant, evil, harmful,: love, sensitivity, kindness, cordiality, responsiveness, mercy, care, help, humanity, cruel,.. silent. Incredulous active,)

It’s so good that Filka realized what his rudeness had done and was ready to correct the evil he had committed. He had a difficult task ahead of him - to invent an escape from the cold, but the boy coped with it.

Filka found salvation, made peace with the horse, and the evil retreated. No matter how difficult the boy’s struggle with himself was, he correctly understood that the roots of evil always sit inside a person and guide his words and actions. I think the horse taught the boy a good lesson, and Filka will now be much kinder and more attentive to himself and others

So, guys, what won in the fairy tale: good or evil?

An evil deed must be corrected, but it is better to never do evil to anyone

You need to be kind and sympathetic.

: Do not cause harm or offense to others.

: Be responsible for your actions and words.

: Don’t be afraid to ask for forgiveness, forgive

a child's heart should not become cold,

We must do everything together

Do good deeds

We must be merciful and kind.

Popular wisdom has long warned us about the consequences of such actions. We have many proverbs that we could correlate with the actions of the heroes of this fairy tale. Choose those that you think relate to the topic of today's lesson.

What goes around comes around.

Time for business, time for fun.

Greeted by clothes, escorted by intelligence

Treat others as you would like them to treat you.

The ability to forgive is a characteristic of the strong. The weak never forgive.

6. There is nothing more courageous than conquering yourself

. Which sentence contains the main idea of the fairy tale by K.G. Paustovsky “Warm Bread”?
.

Learning to truly be kind is difficult. The path to kindness is not easy, a long path on which a person faces ups and downs, ups and downs. Therefore, a person should stop more often and reflect on his committed actions. Every person, big and small, has their own path to Kindness. Filka walked his way to Kindness. He realized his own actions and corrected them himself. We see how Filka has changed. And he came to such actions himself, realizing everything he had done.

The work “Warm Bread” was written by Konstantin Paustovsky in 1954, when 9 years had already passed since the war ended. This amazing story, where good opposes evil, really appealed to young readers, and adults, of course, too. The famous magazine "Murzilka" published the work, and almost twenty years later, television viewers could enjoy a short cartoon based on the fairy tale. An analysis of the work “Warm Bread” will also be useful for you if you are planning to write an essay on this topic in grade 5.

What is the short story “Warm Bread” about?

First, we will briefly discuss what topic Konstantin Paustovsky raises and what he encourages readers to think about, then we will look at the plot and the main characters, and we will also see how Filka offends the horse. The story “Warm Bread” reveals the theme of love and generosity, while at the same time drawing attention to an indifferent person. Is it possible to eliminate the consequences of the evil committed, show mercy and forgive from the heart? Events of the present and past are connected by a single thread, the author writes about people and animals, about guilt and redemption.

An analysis of the story “Warm Bread” would be incomplete without considering the plot. Paustovsky paints a simple village during the war. There is a catastrophic shortage of food, the peasants have a hard life, they have to work very hard, not sparing themselves. The old miller Pankrat had the opportunity to shelter a crippled animal. It was a horse that accidentally ended up in Berezhki, and now it was necessary to somehow support it, but Pankrat already did not have enough food.

Heroes of the story "Warm Bread"

When preparing an essay for grade 5 based on the story “Warm Bread” by Paustovsky, pay attention to the image of Filka. This is a teenager who lives with his grandmother, and he is very heartless, full of anger, mistrust and callousness. When friends turn to him for help, he refuses them, and he does not like either people or animals.

When his grandmother talks to Filka, he suddenly realizes how cruelly he acted and what the consequences may now be. After reflection, he finds the best way out of the situation and admits his mistake. Now we see a different side to this character: he is hardworking, smart, organized and ready to correct the consequences of his rash actions for the benefit of others. You can already trust Filka.

However, an analysis of the story “Warm Bread” also shows the image of another character, which we have already mentioned. This is the old miller Pankrat. His image is mysterious, because he not only cured the horse, but also showed amazing qualities. When Filka goes to atone for his guilt, Pankrat does not interfere with him and does not hold a grudge against him, realizing that each person has his own positive qualities, and one must believe in a person.

Other analysis details

The events in the story “Warm Bread” strictly follow one another; Paustovsky, as it were, guides the reader, gradually revealing the characters’ characters, and shows what motivates them. Of course, the story contains fairy-tale motifs that are skillfully intertwined with real events. This creates a unified composition. It is interesting that with the help of outdated figures of speech and folklore expressions the narrative takes on special colors and looks very unique.

In our analysis of “Warm Bread” we will definitely emphasize the essence of the author’s idea. A person is characterized by spiritual generosity, compassion and responsiveness. When a person acts kindly, kindness returns to him, and an indifferent attitude towards others entails troubles and evil. In addition, if you realize your mistake in time and are ready to correct yourself, this will definitely change the situation and find a response in the hearts of others.

We hope that the analysis of the story “Warm Bread” will be useful to you. We looked at the summary of the work, the image of the main characters and the author’s idea that he wanted to convey to readers. If you write an essay on the story “Warm Bread” by Paustovsky, be sure to include these thoughts.

“Warm Bread” is very little like a fairy tale, because the village of Berezhki, and the main character - the boy Filka, and the wise old miller Pankrat could exist in reality. And the terrible snowstorm and bitter frost, caused by Filka’s rude and thoughtless act, could well have turned out to be an ordinary coincidence. Ordinary - but not quite.

What is this strange tale about? The old miller Pankrat cured a war horse wounded in the leg, which was left in the village by passing cavalrymen. The horse, in turn, patiently helped the miller repair the dam - it was winter, people were running out of flour, so it was necessary to repair the mill as soon as possible.

Filka’s grandmother told the quiet and frightened boy that the same severe frost fell on the village a hundred years ago, when an evil man undeservedly and bitterly offended an old crippled soldier. After that frost, the earth turned into a desert for ten years - the gardens did not bloom, the forests dried up, animals and birds hid and fled. And the evil man died “from a cold heart.”

Filka’s heart ached from the consciousness of his guilt, the boy realized that only he could correct the mistake he had made, but he did not know how. Grandmother was sure that Pankrat should know about this, because “he is a cunning old man, a scientist.”

At night, not afraid of the biting frost, Filka ran to the miller, and he advised him to “invent salvation from the cold.” Then the guilt both before the horse and before the people will be smoothed over, and Filka will again become a “pure person.” The boy thought and thought and came up with the idea of gathering guys from all over the village with axes and crowbars the next morning to break the ice on the river near the mill until water appears. That's what they did. At dawn, people from all over the village gathered to help the guys, Filka apologized to them as best he could, and everyone got to work. Soon it became warmer, things began to move faster, and people reached the water. The wheel of the mill turned, the women brought unmilled grain, and hot flour poured out from under the millstone. Everyone was happy, and Filka most of all. But he still had one more thing to do; a thorn of guilt in front of the undeservedly offended horse sat deep in his heart. Material from the site

Throughout the village that evening, fragrant sweet bread with a golden brown crust was baked. The next morning Filka took a loaf of warm bread, grabbed his friends for support and went to the horse to make peace. He broke the loaf, salted a chunk heavily and handed it to the horse. But the horse, remembering the unfair words, did not take the bread and backed away. Filka was afraid that the horse would not forgive him and began to cry. The kind Pankrat calmed the horse and explained that “the boy Filka is not an evil person.” So a solemn truce was concluded, the horse ate the bread, and the forgiven boy was happy.

It seems to me that Paustovsky was able to tell a lot about the relationships between people, about their responsibility for their words and actions. Everything in the world is interconnected, and the consequences of Filka’s actions at the beginning of the fairy tale had to be corrected, attracting the help of people from the entire village. The story teaches us to be kind, sympathetic and not be afraid to ask for forgiveness for the offenses caused to others.
