Arguments on the topic: Loyalty of animals to their owners. Man and animal

• Category: Arguments for writing the exam

• A.P. Chekhov - the story "Kashtanka". Chekhov tells us about the dog's attachment to his first owner. Having got lost and got to the trainer, in good home conditions, Kashtanka remembers the carpenter Luka Alexandrych and his son Fedyushka, despite the fact that the latter often mocked her. And, noticing them already during the circus performance, Kashtanka joyfully rushes to them. And then they take their dog.
• S.A. Yesenin - poems "Herd", "Son of a bitch", "Swan". We feel love for all living things in the poet's poems about "our smaller brothers." Yesenin's fauna is a part of nature, very close to man. His animals are not the personification of human vices and virtues, but our faithful friends with their worries, sorrows and joys. They are endowed with living feelings, capable of sincere love, affection. Their stories are sometimes dramatic. So, the swan dies under the sharp claws of an eagle, having managed to save her cubs. The poet communicates with them almost on an equal footing, as with close friends. So, in the poem "Give me, Jim, for luck, a paw to me ..." he opens his soul to a big, good-natured dog, tells him about his beloved. In another poem (“Son of a bitch”), a young dog, the son of an old dog, awakens memories of youth and former love in the poet’s heart. And the poet is grateful to him: "Do you want, dog, I'll kiss you For awakened in the heart of May?"

It's no secret that often animals are incredibly loyal to their owners. The connection of a little friend with a person can become much stronger than any other bonds and strikes to the core. This topic has been touched upon by Russian writers more than once. We reviewed several works and picked up arguments.

1. In the story "Mumu" Turgenev fully shows the loyalty of the dog to his master. Main character of the story, Gerasim is a deaf-mute, rather frightening janitor, in whose soul there is much more room for goodness than other characters. It is this trait of his that helps him find his first and only friend. Passing by the river, he rescues a drowning puppy, takes him to his little closet and nurses the poor animal, which eventually becomes a beautiful dog named Mumu. Despite the fact that she was affectionate with everyone, Mumu remains truly faithful only to her savior and tries to always be with him. But by order of the mistress, the poor animal is sold for fifty dollars. When Gerasim guesses what happened, he goes in search, but all in vain. What was his happiness when, a day later, Mumu herself comes to him with a piece of rope around her neck. Not otherwise than true love to the owner and true devotion led her to Gerasim.
2. In the story "Kashtanka" Anton Pavlovich also touches on this theme of the animal's loyalty to its owner, although he does it differently. According to the plot, a small dog Kashtanka loses his benefactor, carpenter Luka Alexandrovich, on the street and tries to find him. The dog gets tired and falls asleep alone with his grief when he is accidentally found by a new owner - a clown under the pseudonym "Mr. Georges". There at Kashtanka, who was already called Aunt, begins new life, quite intense, with new friends and adventures. In this place, she is loved and caressed, but she still misses her previous, cruel owner, who was often rude to her and even beat her. One day, Mr. George decides to take her with him to work in the circus. At the moment of the performance, Kashtanka hears the native voices of the carpenter and his son, who call to her, and she, happy, rushes towards them. In spite of good life with a clown, she still remains faithful to Luka Alexandrovich.
3. In the story of L.N. Andreev's "Kusaka" shows not only the fidelity of the animal, but also all the bitterness of resentment from another betrayal.
   This book is about a stray dog ​​living in the village, which everyone is ready to offend: throw stones, kick or hit. Anger towards people every day grew in her, without ceasing, but one day, after overpowering herself and trusting in a good drunkard, she gets a kick from him. From that moment on, she rushes at every passer-by, is afraid of any rustle and constantly barks. When the townspeople come to the village, she meets the girl Lelya. Of course, at the first meeting, the dog manages to tear her dress out of fear and anger, but then, after a while, the animal gets used to both her and the children. They call her Biter. Thanks to affection and attention, she turns into a kind dog, faithful to her new friends. In the fall, all the townspeople went home, leaving their dachas and Kusaku with them. Lelya, who was not allowed to take her with her, goes to the station without saying goodbye to the animal. The dog tried for a long time to find his departed friends, but returned to the dacha with nothing.
   All she could do was howl in grief and yet another betrayal.

Essay on the exam. According to Morozov's text about animals.

Friend, who are you? (according to Morozov)

Morozov poses the problem of the relationship between people and animals.

This problem is always relevant, because “our smaller brothers” live next to us. Their attitude is different. Some people really treat animals like brothers. Others indifferently pass by, throw their tired "friends" out into the street, kill, maim. So the author talks about a dog that is looking for a friend, and a man passes by. Morozov says that a lot has been written about the devotion and love of a dog, contacts with it have a beneficial effect on people, the very presence of an animal has a healing effect.

The position of the author is as follows: he claims that the most important thing for a dog is "to be a friend to a person", and people must learn to live in accordance with their own law - human, "which has been known since ancient times as the Code of Honor." One cannot but agree with this point of view.

Recall the story of L. Andreev "Kusaka". Children in the summer at the dacha tamed a stray dog, which had never known affection or satiety before, and now became attached to people, believed that someone needed it. Alas! Summer ended, people left, and poor Kusaka was left alone again. And not only hunger threatens her. She dared to fall in love, she was ready to be devoted, to serve a person. The writer makes you think about yourself, about “our smaller brothers.

Let us turn to Troepolsky's well-known story "White Bim Black Ear". Bim was a model of devotion, fidelity to a person. He suffered greatly when he was left without a master. A difficult time has come for Beam. Different people met on his way: both good and evil. The reader, along with the dog, goes through a long and difficult journey and bitterly regrets the death of a friend. Beam's story leaves no one indifferent. It teaches a person to live according to the laws of honor and conscience.

In conclusion, I would like to say that you need to take care of animals, see them as friends, learn devotion and love from them.

Composition The role of man in the life of animals

The last notes

The topic of people's attitude to animals is one of the most relevant, acute and burning issues.

How can you formulate the problem identified by the author? This is the problem of the role of man in the life of "our smaller brothers", animals, with whom he has coexisted for many centuries.

Commenting on this problem, it should be noted that people are involved in any living entity that is adjacent to them. Zoologists, veterinarians study the characteristics of animal organisms, treat them. Animal breeders and business executives approach this issue in the most pragmatic way, talking about meat, wool, fur, taking them along with life from the same animals.

What is the position of the author? She is. People should be responsible for those whom they tamed, settled next to them, in the same apartment or in their courtyard. Having determined their purpose for themselves, people must take care of their food, create acceptable conditions for their existence. At all times, tamed animals have been drawn to people, seeing them as support and protection. Along with the fact that each peasant had poultry, draft, beef and dairy cattle at home, he, as the owner, saw the individual features of each individual, knew the most important methods of their maintenance and treatment. At the same time, a dog, a horse, a calf, and a variety of birds know their owner, distinguish him by voice, gait, smell, and are happy to communicate with him. And every person at the sight of an immensely devoted creature becomes warm in his soul.

I agree with the author's opinion and confirm the correctness of his position with the following first argument. Dogs are especially attached to people. By the way, they perform a wide variety of duties, helping their masters. In the countryside, they guard the cattle in the herd, go hunting with the owner, poison the beast. Sled dogs carry people and goods. There are diving dogs. There are guides to help the blind navigate the hectic city environment. At the same time, the love and complete obedience of animals become a reward to the owner for taking care of them. There are cases when dogs have been waiting for the missing owner for months and years at the very place where, due to some sad circumstances, they happened to leave. It happened that a dog, brought for tens and even hundreds of kilometers and left, returned to the owner's house, having covered these huge distances and wiped its paws in the blood.

Argument two. The theme of mutual affection of people and animals is also heard in our domestic literature, in works that are deeply humane, filled with pain and pity for the “beast”, “our smaller brothers”. Let us recall Yesenin's poems: "The Song of the Dog", "The Fox"; Let us recall Troepolsky's novel "White Bim, Black Ear". These works are about a man's unreturned debt to this animal world - warm, trusting, infinitely devoted and often deeply and unfairly offended by people.

Output. Love for animals will enrich the heart and soul of man.

Prepared arguments for USE essays on the following issues:

Animal love problem

The issue of caring for animals

The problem of humane treatment of animals

Y. Yakovlev story "He killed my dog"

In the short story “He Killed My Dog,” Yakovlev tells the story of a boy who loved and, no less importantly, understood animals. Taborka found a dog in the village, which was abandoned by the previous owners. Not knowing the name of the furry friend, the boy did not come up with a new one. He believed that a dog, like a person, should have only one name. Taking responsibility for the animal, Taborka refused to kick it out of the house. He explained this by saying that once the dog had already been kicked out.

B. L. Vasiliev novel “Do not shoot white swans”

Yegor Polushkin, the protagonist of Vasilyev's novel Don't Shoot the White Swans, is a prime example of a person who sincerely loves animals. A reverent attitude to nature cost a man his life. When drunken tourists killed the fish and shot at the swans, Yegor rushed to save the animals alone, not suspecting that this was a trap. On the bank of the river, his cousin was waiting for him with accomplices who beat him to death.

The problem of love for animals is emphasized in Vasiliev's novel "Don't Shoot the White Swans". When Kolka, the son of the protagonist, found out that Vovka wanted to torture a puppy to death, he agreed without hesitation to give his new spinning rod to the flayer, although he understood that they would never give him such a gift again.

N. A. Nekrasov poem "Grandfather Mazai and hares"

The problem of love for animals is reflected in Nekrasov's work "Grandfather Mazai and Hares". The main character, despite the fact that he was a hunter, treated the animals with care. During the flood, he saved the hares, took the wounded to him and cured him, after which he let him go, saying that they should not come across to him in winter. Grandfather Mazai never killed animals unnecessarily or for fun.

Man and animal. About the attitude of people towards animals

The attitude of people towards animals is the problem that M. Goncharova reflects on.

The author with deep sadness tells about the tragic fate of animals that do not have external attractiveness. Citing the barbaric attitude of people towards frogs as an example, M. Goncharova talks with great enthusiasm about the wonderful tradition that exists in England, where with the help of a green bucket people got the opportunity to help the toads cross the road. The author dreams of going to the UK after her retirement and encourages other retirees to join her in the name of saving frogs.

The position of M. Goncharova is clear. It is impossible to divide animals “into warm fluffy and cold slippery”: we must be merciful to every creature of God.

I remember the poem by N. A. Nekrasov “Grandfather Mazai and the Hares”, for whose hero the forest is his native element: the grandfather worries about all its inhabitants. During the spring flood, he saves drowning hares, collecting them in a boat, cures two sick animals. This is a truly human attitude towards “our smaller brothers”!

The Internet is literally replete with stories about the tragic fate of animals,

brought from exotic countries. Here is a huge boa constrictor stuck between water pipes, frightening the inhabitants of several apartments. In another case, a young woman with a child in her arms in the entrance, having stepped on “something”, was bitten. This “something” turned out to be a small crocodile. Where did overseas guests appear in Moscow apartments and porches? They were brought into the country, bought for a lot of money, and when the owners got bored, they were simply thrown out of the luxury apartments. Like, probably, this crocodile and boa constrictor, and our homeless cat or dog, who fell under the wheels of a car, envied that English toad, which, like a frog princess, is carried across the road in order to preserve the species of animals!

Thus, I can conclude that we humans should be merciful to all animals living around us.

Composition on the topic: “My favorite animal” Grade 6 It seems to me that every person has his own favorite animal. As a rule, when talking about our pets, we mean pets that live nearby.

1. (48 words) True friends are always sensitive to each other. The hero of the novel of the same name by A.S. Pushkin, Eugene Onegin, allowed himself a cruel joke in relation to his friend Lensky. He did not take into account that he could take everything to heart, and a rash act turned into a tragedy. Their relationship was not a true friendship.
2. (48 words) Unfortunately, often under the pretext of friendship, one person uses another. Such a case occurs in the story of A.I. Solzhenitsyn "Matryonin Dvor". Matryona's friends, taking advantage of her kindness, constantly ask her to help with the housework - of course, for nothing. But they know perfectly well that she already has a lot to do, but their own benefit is more important to them.
3. (38 words) An example of sincere, tender friendship is the communication between Makar Devushkin and Varvara Dobroselova from “Poor People” by F.M. Dostoevsky. Despite poverty and life's difficulties, each of the heroes cares more about the well-being of the other than about his own, which is reflected in their touching letters.
4. (59 words) "There is no use in someone who forgets old friends!" - so says Maxim Maksimych, one of the characters in the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time". He considered Pechorin a close friend and was very happy new meeting, but received only a cold handshake in response. This upset the poor old man to tears. By the way, Pechorin was punished by fate: until the end of his life he remained alone.
5. (49 words) A somewhat unusual friendship arose between the main characters of Ilf and Petrov's novel The Twelve Chairs. It would seem that Ostap and Ippolit Matveyevich are not only partners in a common cause, but also rivals in the struggle for precious booty - however, they go all the way together, and only at the end the proximity of the goal destroys their friendly relations.
6. (46 words) True friendship involves equality. In W. Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies", children left without adults quickly divided into leaders and subordinates, and only a few retained the ability to make friends. One of these characters is the boy Piggy, who does not abandon his friend Ralph, even when he turns from a leader into an outcast.
7. (48 words) It is known that a friend is known in trouble. The hero of Mine Reed's novel "The Headless Horseman", Maurice Gerald, was falsely accused of a terrible crime, but could not prove anything because of his confused mind. His comrade, the hunter Zebulon Stump, did everything possible to restore justice, and he succeeded: the real culprit was punished.
8. (57 words) In A. de Saint-Exupery's fairy tale "The Little Prince", the words of the Fox describe what friendship should be like: "We will need each other. You will be the only one in the world for me. And I will be alone for you in the whole world ... ". He also tells the Little Prince that when parting with a friend, bitterness is inevitable, but at the same time, pleasant memories will remain forever.
9. (41 words) The idea of ​​the importance of friendship pervades J.K. Rowling's fantasy novel Harry Potter. Supporting each other in grief and joy, the heroes cope with personal problems more easily and overcome life's difficulties. But the most important thing: only together they form a force capable of resisting evil.
10. (41 words) The story of the friendship between a man and a wolf is told by J. London in the book "White Fang". The most surprising thing is that people have done a lot of harm to the White Fang, but the kindness of the last owner has created a miracle with a wild beast. He did not remain in debt and became a devoted defender of the whole family.

Real life examples

1. (51 words) The best friendship is the one that lasts forever. But I know a more striking case, when even death did not become the reason for its end. Two acquaintances of my father fought together in a hot spot. One died, and the second still (and more than twenty years have passed!) Helps the elderly mother of his comrade in memory of him.
2. (53 words) There is a good parable about friendship. It is about an old man with a dog, who walked for a long time and were very tired. Suddenly, an oasis appeared on the way, but the animals were not allowed to go there. The old man did not abandon his friend and passed by. They soon reached a farm, the owner of which let them both in. A true comrade will not leave you in trouble.
3. (33 words) In L. Hallström's film "Hachiko", a real friendship is born between the characters, which conquered death. The professor adopted a stray puppy who is used to meeting a savior from work. The faithful dog was waiting for his master even when he died.
4. (48 words) It's no secret that the strongest friendships are born during the student days. Indeed, at this time people have already formed as individuals, so connections are usually established between those who are close in spirit. It is known that Boris Yeltsin met with former classmates every year and did not change his tradition, even when he became president.
5. (43 words) They say, "A friend in need is a friend." This is clearly seen in the Russian adaptation of Dumas' novel The Three Musketeers. Yuri Ryashentsev wrote excellent songs praising the military brotherhood of heroes. Each of them, covering a comrade, sings in a singsong voice: “I will delay them, nothing!”. In this phrase, all the power of male friendship breaks through.
6. (48 words) There are many films devoted to the theme of friendship. One of my favorites is Yolki-1 by Timur Bekmambetov. In it, an orphan girl named Varya involuntarily lied that her dad is the president and would wish her a Happy New Year. What now? Fortunately, Vova's faithful friend comes to the rescue, and thanks to his efforts, the impossible becomes possible.
7. (54 words) Nowadays, almost every person has several dozen, or even hundreds of friends in in social networks. Does this count as friendship? I am sure yes, if you communicate with a person a lot, and this brings you joy. Moreover, I was lucky to meet some of the Internet acquaintances in reality, and this only strengthened our affection.
8. (49 words) There is a saying on the Internet: "A friend is not someone who communicates with you in his spare time, but someone who frees up time to communicate with you." We can agree with this: when a person sacrifices his deeds for the sake of another, it means that he appreciates him; and if not, it's most likely just a friendship that doesn't last long.
9. (45 words) Friendship is incompatible with selfishness - that's a fact. Good example For me, Anna is my friend. I know I can always count on her. Once I urgently needed someone to come and sit with my younger brother while I was away. Anya agreed without hesitation, although she lives on the other side of the city.
10. (48 words) You can be friends not only with people. Aren't our pets true friends? My dog ​​is always waiting for me from school, and if he sees that I am upset with something, he tries to console me, for example, puts his head on his knees or calls me to play. And vice versa, when she sees that I am busy, she will not interfere.
Interesting? Save it on your wall!

It's no secret that often animals are incredibly loyal to their owners. The connection of a little friend with a person can become much stronger than any other bonds and strikes to the core.
