Before us is one of such stories as " white poodle”, this is not a fictional story, but a plot based on real events. The writer was personally acquainted with this group of artists. It seems that there was nothing special, well, the lady wanted a poodle for her son, so what? Who can pay for a whim is right. Here Kuprin touched not only social inequality, but also the friendship of man and animal, mutual understanding of people among themselves and the inability and unwillingness to raise children.
It is impossible not to sympathize with children who come from the lower strata. These are real little workers. They are familiar with hard work, cold and hunger, as well as with devoted friendship. Itinerant performers with a poodle barely earn a living. Unlike the son of the mistress, who is capricious to no end and demands the fulfillment of his desires. The poodle is just a toy for him, and for the artists it is a full member of the troupe participating in earnings. All three have a very good relationship. Despite the fact that the boy is actually completely stranger grandfather Lodyzhkin, but how much warmth and affection comes through in the eyes and thoughts of the old man when he looks at the bathing boy.
The writer very well showed the difference between a boy artist and a lady's son. The artist Seryozha thinks like an adult, takes care of his grandfather and the dog Artosha. The lord's son plagues everyone with demands, tantrums, complete indifference to the world around him. In the foreground, only his fulfillment of desires, which his mother indulges
A.I. Kuprin in the story showed that devotion and friendship do not need money at all. It all depends on the state of a person's soul. The story ends well, but it could have been very different. The author specifically did this so that the guys formed the concept that good is stronger than evil. Children should know that not everything can be bought in the world. These things include love and friendship.
Analysis of the story White Poodle 2
In each work of Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin, the attitude of the author's attachment to animals, disadvantaged people, children and nature is revealed. He sincerely rejoices at their success, emphasizes the manifestation of the best human qualities.
From the point of view of construction, the story "White Poodle" is not difficult to understand. The ring composition of the work plays a significant role in this. The author's image of three heroes at the beginning of the story is preserved at the end. Their quantitative composition changes in the central part, coinciding with the climax of the story.
The plot is simple. A friendly company: an old man, a boy and a poodle are lucky from time to time. The money earned with the help of acrobatic stunts and musical accompaniment is enough for food and lodging for the night. The incident that occurred in the south of Crimea, at one of the dachas of a wealthy family, became a test of the artists for the strength of the relationship. The desire of the lord's son to appropriate the dog for entertainment led to its abduction by the janitor. For the sake of saving his friend, the boy Seryozha commits a risky act.
Thanks to the actions of the heroes of the work, their speech, behavior, A.I. Kuprin reveals the disinterested relationships of real comrades who did not exchange the dog for anything. They agree to a further beggarly existence, while maintaining joint performances in full force.
The author depicts the experience and wisdom of a representative of the older generation. However, despite his age, the orphan surprised the old man with reasonable reasoning, patience, inherent in an adult. The story demonstrates priceless feelings of love, fidelity, trust not only to people, but also to animals.
The relationship of the characters, the manifestation of their real feelings and emotions develops around the poodle Arto. This is a loyal, intelligent dog, for which people risked their lives. Thanks to her, the true qualities of people were revealed in the story.
The image of the twelve-year-old Seryozha - brave, hardworking, who knows the value of the money earned, is opposed to the son of the master - Trilly, a spoiled, capricious boy. It is due to the depiction of different worldviews by the characters that the author raises the topic of social inequality. Having a different status in society, some preserve, increase in different situations spiritual wealth, human qualities. Others are selfish towards others, not knowing the value of either friendship or money.
All the events of the story line up against the backdrop of the landscape of the Crimean peninsula. Southern nature causes Serezha's genuine delight, emphasizing his openness to the world, love of life, kindness. He rejoices in the warm sea, blooming magnolias, vineyards and roses. Summer cottages, where the aristocratic family is located, do not attract much attention with greenhouses and flower beds local residents. Indifference to the nature of some heroes is opposed to the positive emotions of others.
The story attracts with an amazing understanding of the author of the soul of a child, a touching attitude towards animals and the elderly, the desire to show the victory of love and kindness over stinginess and selfishness.
Ekaterina Lokteva is the sister of Anna Odintsova, a very quiet and calm girl. The image of Catherine in the novel "Fathers and Sons" by Turgenev Ivan Sergeevich is one of the most pleasant female characters.

Conclusions:
The main characters are offended by fate, they were united by life and led by hard roads of wandering circus artists. But they deserve more than just sympathy. A proud man, an honest worker, grandfather Lodyzhkin is remembered, who refused the erased kopeck piece of a miserly lady. He appears as a noble and faithful friend in a "duel" with the rich inhabitants of the dacha and their janitor. He does not have a passport, he lost his real name with his passport, but retained his human dignity, kindness and the ability to touchingly take care of others, weaker and more defenseless: an orphan boy, a dog. The half-destitute old man is sure that "not everything is sold that is bought." The old man does a noble deed: he refuses to sell his poodle friend for three hundred rubles - a fortune that would allow him to open a grocery store. This act emphasizes the immorality of the Obolyaninov millionaires, who are ready to pay any amount for the whim of their offspring, and if the money does not help, then provoke a crime - theft.
Artaud's theft is a terrible blow for Lodyzhkin. Life from hand to mouth, dusty roads, insults and humiliation, the loss of Artaud - all this knocked down the old man. He became pitiful and helpless in his grief, despair reached the limit. Grandfather Lodyzhkin howls plaintively, calling for Arto, speaks to Seryozha in a low voice, barely audible, and as a result whispers the words in fright, sobbing helplessly. “We won’t do anything here,” he repeats, having lost his last faith in justice.
The difficult life of a wanderer is destined for Seryozha. Until the age of seven, he was with a cobbler, until he became an actor in a wandering troupe. The meeting with the kind, caring Lodyzhkin allowed the boy to learn how to honestly earn bread, by the age of 12 he already mastered the techniques of a real acrobat.
In grandfather's dreams, he becomes an artist of the best circus. One can only guess about the boy's future. But extreme situation- stealing a poodle - shows already formed best qualities Sergey: fidelity to friendship, the ability to support and reassure Hard time a loved one, not to get confused and make an important decision on your own, the ability to overcome fear, take risks in order to achieve a good goal - and achieve it.

IV. Paperwork
A story about the real basis of the plot.
In the summer of 1903, the writer and his family lived in Miskhor. The writer's daughter writes in her memoirs: “in the afternoon wandering artists came to our dacha - an old man with a hurdy-gurdy, a thirteen-year-old boy Seryozha, an acrobat, and take off a trained white poodle. As soon as the sounds of the hurdy-gurdy were heard, spectators gathered to our dacha - Turkish builders who worked at the neighboring dacha, nannies with children from other dachas and just random passers-by.
After the performance, the old man received money and Alexander Ivanovich called them to dine on the terrace near the kitchen. But they took bowls of food and settled under the trees on the banks of the Seligirka. The old man was taciturn and tried to talk about himself as little as possible. But Seryozha willingly shared his plans. On long journeys across the Crimea, they reached Odessa. There, Seryozha once managed to visit the circus, and since then he has dreamed of becoming a real acrobat. He also told Alexander Ivanovich about how once a rich lady demanded that they sell her a poodle, which her boy really liked.
“Grandfather refused to give up the dog. The lady got angry with us. We were afraid that she would inform the police, and even say that we stole something from her, - the boy said. - So we rather left the city ”
The writer made changes to real story and called the story "White Poodle".
Why is the story named that way? You will have to discuss this in your essay.
If you find it difficult, you can use the auxiliary response plan.
Auxiliary plan:
1. What hero are they all connected with? important events taking place in the story?
2. What was the job of a poodle artist? Why did grandfather Lodyzhkin value him so much?
3. What human qualities of the heroes of the story (grandfather Lodyzhkin, Seryozha, Trilli, mistress, janitor) highlight their attitude towards the dog?
4. Did the hero of the story, the poodle, help Kuprin explain to the reader what kindness, honesty, incorruptibility, loyalty and devotion in friendship, courage are?
Sample answer:
Why is the story called "White Poodle"? Apparently because the most important events of the story are connected with Artaud .. The focus is on the episodes in which the fate of the dog is decided: the ugly whim of the spoiled Trilly, the heartless trade of the rich inhabitants of the dacha and the janitor with grandfather Lodyzhkin, the criminal theft of Arto, the risky rescue of the poodle Seryozha . It is in these episodes that the heroes of the story clash - poor and rich, well-fed and hungry - living according to different social and moral laws.
The attitude towards the white poodle makes it possible to highlight the characters, advantages and disadvantages of the heroes of the work: the incorruptibility of Lodyzhkin, the immorality of the inhabitants of the dacha, the courage of Seryozha, the lackey devotion and the criminality of the janitor
Homework review of Kuprin's story " Miraculous Doctor»
Article menu:
A. Kuprin's story "The White Poodle" is one of the stories focused on the formation of a moral principle. An optimistic plot and the rise of the concept of friendship - these are the concepts that have become key in the story.
Prototypes and description of real events in the story
It was then, in the summer, that Alexander Ivanovich visited with his family in the Crimea - in Miskhor. On one of these days, the Kuprins' house was visited by unexpected visitors - an old man, a young boy and a poodle dog. The guests turned out to be itinerant artists. The old man played the hurdy-gurdy, the boy was an acrobat, and the dog was trained and knew how to perform various tricks.
We invite readers to familiarize themselves with A. Kuprin - in the table.
Soon these guests became regular visitors to the Kuprins - the owners always welcomed them cordially. As soon as the first sounds of the hurdy-gurdy were heard, people began to converge on the Kuprins' house - they were also working people - masons from the neighboring dacha, nannies with children and other people passing by.
After a short performance, the Kuprins always invited the artists to dine - visitors never sat down at the table, but they never refused food. It was at this time that Kuprin managed to communicate with the artists.
The old man did not differ in sociability and talkativeness, the boy was his opposite - he willingly talked about their wanderings and travels.
Once they happened to go to Odessa, and there Seryozha (that was the name of the young acrobat) visited a real circus. After this incident, the boy had a dream - to learn and become a real acrobat.
Once Seryozha told Kuprin interesting story about how one rich woman wanted to buy a dog from them, but, having been refused, she unleashed her anger on itinerant artists.
Why the story is called "White Poodle"
Alexander Ivanovich became interested in this story - and after some time he wrote a story about these events from the life of wandering artists. The story was called "White Poodle".
This choice of name can be explained in two ways. The first of the bottom lies in the concept, which later became winged: "friendship is more valuable than money."
The second is the essence of the conflict. As in real life, the trained poodle becomes a stumbling block and the development of the conflict - the whole story is built on the situation of the possibility of buying a dog. Based on this position, the choice of name seems justified.
Plot Features
Alexander Ivanovich made some changes to Serezha's story - like the events of real life, acting characters of the story are the old organ grinder Martyn Lodyzhkin, his assistant - the boy Seryozha (whom the organ grinder borrowed from his friend, shortly before his death) and a trained poodle named Arto.
We invite thoughtful readers to analyze the story of A. Kuprin, as well as to find out the meaning of his name.
These heroes do not have their own homes - they wander from city to city, from village to village, showing small performances in the hope that they will be given something as payment. Not everyone welcomes artists - many drive them away from their yards, but artists are no strangers. Only one lady gave them a dime, and even that turned out to be full of holes.
At the Druzhba dacha, the artists had a reason to distinguish themselves - a family with a child lived here - a capricious and fastidious boy named Trilly. The performers arrived at the house just in time for Trilly to take her medication. The child really did not want to do this and did not succumb to persuasion. The performance of the artists helped to correct the situation - the boy was delighted. Particularly impressed by his poodle Artaud. Accustomed to the fulfillment of all whims, the child demanded that a dog be bought for him. The artists refused, they said that it was impossible because Arto, first of all, was their friend. Unable to get a dog in an honest way, Arto steal, luring sausage. However, the story ends optimistically - Seryozha managed to free the dog and friends began to travel together again.
Kuprin "White Poodle"
literature childish chekhov image
Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin (1870 - 1938) is known as the author of numerous works in which special attention is paid to the analysis of human relationships. The writer also showed great interest in young readers. He is the author of well-known stories for children and about children - “ Kindergarten”, “In the bowels of the earth”, “Wonderful doctor” and others. His works are especially loved by young citizens.
The plot of the story "White Poodle" Kuprin almost copied from nature. Wandering artists came to the writer's dacha in the Crimea, whom Alexander Ivanovich sometimes invited to dine. Among the frequent guests were an old man with a hurdy-gurdy, an acrobat boy named Seryozha, and a white poodle. Seryozha and told the story of how a rich lady persistently asked to sell the dog. The poodle really liked her little son. But the old man and the boy refused to do so, for which they incurred the wrath of the rich lady.
This story was very interested in Kuprin. The writer saw two very important themes in a simple plot. Firstly, the theme of social inequality, and, secondly, selfless friendship and concern for "our smaller brothers." In 1903, Kuprin's story "The White Poodle" was published.
Alexander Ivanovich generally sympathized with children "from the bottom." He was bribed by the spiritual simplicity of these guys, their ability to perform noble deeds. Such is the wandering artist Seryozha in The White Poodle, brought up by the old organ-grinder Lodyzhkin. They are confronted by a completely different world, which is personified by a rich lady and her spoiled son Trilly.
The conflict of the story is built on the different attitudes of these people. For wealthy gentlemen, a dog is just a fun thing to buy and sell. For the old man and the boy, their Artoshka is more than a friend. For the sake of his salvation, Serezha even risks his life.
The characters in The White Poodle are drawn by Kuprin very clearly, and even slightly deliberately, taking into account children's perception. This circumstance makes it possible to clearly define the contrast between the children. Trilli perceives nature with complete indifference, while Seryozha with delight. The lady's son is tender and clumsy, while Seryozha is strong and dexterous. Trilly's speech is a set of consumer words like: "I", "I want", "give" ... The words of the young artist testify to his restraint, an adequate perception of reality.
Kuprin builds the composition of the story very competently and without fuss. Events take place in a short time, everything is subordinated main goal- using the example of the story with the poodle, to show that loyalty and friendship are the main wealth in a person's life. At the same time, each part of the story (there are six in total) is a logically complete episode.
The "White Poodle" has a happy ending, although in real life it could be different. But Kuprin subtly feels the child's soul, so he inspires optimism in the young reader. The child must believe that justice will prevail. So the writer formed the moral principle in children.
