Direction "Friendship and enmity" of the final essay 2016-2017 on literature: examples, samples, analysis of works

Examples of writing essays on literature in the direction of "Friendship and enmity". Statistics are provided for each essay. Some essays are for school, and it is not recommended to use them as ready-made samples in the final essay.

These works can be used to prepare for the final essay. They are designed to form the students' understanding of the full or partial disclosure of the topic of the final essay. We recommend using them as an additional source of ideas when forming your own understanding of the disclosure of the topic.

Probably, each of us thought about what a real friend should be. And whatever the outcome of our reflections, we all agree that true friendship can only be called relationships full of sincerity, trust, emotional closeness, willingness to help in difficult times ... The one who has found such a loyal comrade in the person of another person and he himself corresponds to the high rank of a friend, he can safely call himself a lucky one.

But, unfortunately, the one or the one who was called our friends is not always them. Opening our innermost thoughts or extending a helping hand to another person, we always take risks, since "someone else's soul is darkness." And the enemy, skillfully hiding under a friendly guise, is, of course, the most dangerous, because he knows a lot about you.

Russian writers have repeatedly turned to plots where yesterday's friend turned out to be the most terrible enemy, causing suffering to the hero. Let's remember "The Captain's Daughter" by A.S. Pushkin. The insidious Shvabrin, who at first seemed to Pyotr Grinev as a friend, more than once commits meanness in relation to a young nobleman. Alexey Ivanovich, having slandered Masha Mironova, forces Grinev to defend the honor of the girl in a duel. But even in a duel, Shvabrin behaves far from noble. Taking advantage of the fact that Peter was distracted for a second by Savelich hurrying to them, he inflicts a serious wound on Grinev. Throughout the entire work, we see how Shvabrin, who recently pretended to be a friend not only of Peter, but also of the Mironov family, easily renounces them, the honor of the nobility, the empress ...

In the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time" we get acquainted with another character who only simulates a friendly disposition. Pechorin is unable to be a friend, but in order to play with human destinies, he pretends to be an attentive comrade of Grushnitsky, and also passionately in love with Princess Mary. Having convinced the naive young man that the girl is in love with him, Grigory Aleksandrovich weaves a web of intrigues, into which the inexperienced Mary, who fell in love with Pechorin, as well as the narcissistic Grushnitsky, stung by the princess's cooling to him because of Grigory Alexandrovich, falls into it. To dispel boredom, Pechorin becomes the director of a bloody performance, the denouement of which will be the broken heart of a young girl and the death of the unfortunate Grushnitsky, who really loved Mary ... Lermontov well understood what the meanness of an imaginary friend was and left the descendants with a transcription of the wise lines of Abdurrahman Jami:

What do you want to hide from enemies
Friends shouldn't tell.

Yes, an enemy is a very dangerous person, but an enemy who has put on a friend's mask is a hundred times worse. Faced with such a hypocrite who ruined life, a person can stop trusting people for many years and decades and remain lonely. But still, no matter how great the risk of being betrayed, the happiness of having sincere friends is much greater.

Material N.A. Zubovoy

"A friend is known in trouble" is the popular saying, but I do not quite agree with it. A true friend is known not only in trouble, but also in joy. And many writers have proven this.
In the novel “Two Captains” by Veniamin Aleksandrovich Kaverin, he shows us two friends, Sasha Grigoriev and Misha Romashov. Their friendship ends in an instant, since Misha could not calmly look at the close relationship between Katya Tatarinova and Sashka Grigoriev, because Romashka himself was in love with her. Misha is capable of betraying his friend, during the war he left the wounded Sasha to die.

This shows that Romashov did not need friends at all, and whether he was capable of falling in love with such a person. After all, people like Misha are not able to help a person in difficult times, and you cannot share joy with him.

And Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy in his epic novel “War and Peace” shows us real friendship on the example of Andrei Bolkonsky and Pierre Bezukhov.

Pierre tries to help Andrey cope with the loss of his wife and condolences to him. And when Bolkonsky falls in love with Natasha, Bezukhov sincerely rejoices in the happiness of his friend. These episodes show Pierre's relationship to friendship, he values ​​his friendship with Andrei. Pierre Bezukhov is ready to sacrifice his happiness for his friend. This can be seen because he zealously tries to reconcile Andrei with Natasha, although he himself is in love with her. Only a true friend is able to come to the rescue in difficult times, he does not know how to envy and hurt his close friend. Only death can share such friends.
Thus, a friend can be called a real one if he helps in grief and rejoices with you in joy.

When talking about important people in our life, we often arrange them in this order - parents, close relatives, friends, acquaintances. Parents and relatives are not chosen, acquaintances are not allowed too deeply into life. And only a true friend is a person whose relationship is based on reciprocity, benevolence, sincerity and sympathy. This is how it happens - two strangers meet and, under certain conditions, become irreplaceable for each other.

Life is incomplete without friendship. But only if we are talking about real friendship - not empty communication, using each other for personal gain. On the contrary, it does not bring us anything good. Why do you need a friend who is with you only because he has nothing else to do, and he will easily disappear for a long time, without even warning? Or a friend who says one thing to you, and gossips about you with your back? Or someone who only communicates with you when he needs something? Or an envious person? Do such “friends” make life full?

And best of all, the true essence of friendship, as for me, is revealed in the fairy tale "The Little Prince" by A. de Saint-Exupery. There, in a conversation between the Fox and the Little Prince, it is said that in order to become close, you need to get to know each other. You need to let a person into your heart, thoughts, life. And enter it yourself. This is trust, and it is this that is sacred. And this is real happiness - to be frank with someone and to know that you will be accepted and not betrayed. And this is a necessity in the life of each of us.

"In the house of human happiness, friendship brings down walls, and love forms a dome." In these words K. Prutkov figuratively defined role of friendship in human relations. Nowadays, when time runs extremely fast, when the rhythm of life acquires a frantic pace, when there is not enough time for communication, and television often replaces it, how to understand what real friendship is? Isn't this relationship confused with superficial friendships that are based on community of work and relaxation? Friendship ennobles life, it was appreciated and exalted by the thinkers of antiquity. Friendship, according to Aristotle, is the most necessary for life: after all, no one wants to live without friends, even if he had all the other riches.

He further explained: “Friendship is not only invaluable, but also beautiful - we glorify the one who loves his friends, has many friends - this is wonderful, and some even think that being a good person and a friend is the same thing. Friendship in Ukrainian culture is highly appreciated. Revealing the great power of friendship, Grigory Skovoroda quotes Plutarch's words: “Friendship, accompanying life, not only adds joy and charm to its bright sides, but also reduces suffering, and God, adding friendship to life, made everything joyful, pleasant and sweet when a friend is near and together with you is comforted. And no matter how the flatterer forges disaster, using pleasures and pleasures, one must know that he does not bring anything joyful into friendship. " Frying pan taught to be careful in choosing friends. Of course, time makes its own adjustments, but concepts such as friendship, love will always remain the highest values.

They represent some kind of mysterious process that cannot be programmed; they fill life with the joy of communication, mutual understanding, and emotionally enrich it. In psychology, the concept of "friendship" is defined as persistent personal-selective interpersonal relationships that characterize the mutual benevolence of their participants, mutual expectations of the corresponding feelings and the return of advantage. The development of friendship involves adherence to its unwritten "code", which affirms the need for mutual understanding, frankness and sincerity. It provides for gullibility, active mutual assistance, mutual interest in the affairs and experiences of another, sincerity and disinterestedness of feelings.

Serious violations of the "code of friendship" lead to its termination, or to superficial friendships, or even to the transformation of friendship into its opposite - hostility. Friendship reaches its greatest intensity in adolescence and early adulthood, when the exceptional importance of relationships with friends, the highest frequency of meetings and the greatest amount of time spent together are noted. At the same time, relationships between friends are filled with deep emotional content and often persist throughout life. Friendship is sometimes a kind of psychotherapy. She allows you to express innermost feelings that overwhelm a person, and find support from those who share her thoughts.

Friends are of great importance to me. These are the most dear people after their parents.

With them, I can always be frank. Together with my friends, I quickly find a solution to any problem, it is easier to do any work with them, to spend my free time more joyfully. I appreciate my friends, I try not to quarrel with them and help them whenever the need arises. So, in fact, as the proverb says, a man without friends is like a tree without roots.

Friendship and enmity - these antipodes are increasingly common in the 21st century. Friendship is a relationship based on trust, mutual help and support. And enmity is the opposition to friendship. People do not value each other, friendship between each other. Having quarreled, you can never return friendship. To prove my reasoning, I want to turn to examples from fiction.

Alexander Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin" tells about two comrades - Onegin and Lensky. Their friendship was so strong, but the enmity allowed this friendship to be destroyed. At Tatyana Larina's birthday party, Eugene Onegin invited Lensky's beloved Olga Larina to dance. It was from Eugene’s side, as it were, revenge. But this revenge greatly offended Lensky, after which he invited Eugene to a duel. The duel ended in a very tragic death of Lensky. At first, Eugene did not want to kill Lensky, but he also did not want to look like a coward in society. After Lensky's death, Yevgeny simply did not understand the meaning of life, because he had lost a loved one.

Also, as proof of my thoughts, I can cite the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov's "A Hero of Our Time", where the main characters are Pechorin and Grushnitsky. Grushnitsky slandered his friend Pechorin, because he considered himself a leader, assuming that the two of them had no place. After all this heinous slander, Pechorin challenged Grushnitsky to a duel. He believed that he had nothing else to do except her. In Grushnitsky's shallow soul, magnanimity did not awaken. And he shot an unarmed man. Fortunately, the bullet only scratched the opponent's knee. Contempt and anger seized Pechorin at the thought that this man could kill him with such ease.

A small selection of poems about friendship and enmity. TAKE CARE OF FRIENDS Know, my friend, the price of enmity and friendship And do not sin in a hasty judgment. Anger at a friend, maybe instant, Pour out as long as you do not rush. Maybe your friend hurried himself And he offended you by chance. A friend was guilty and obeyed - You do not remember his sin. People, we are aging and decaying, And over the course of our years and days It is easier for us to lose our friends, It is much more difficult to find them. If a faithful horse, injuring his leg, Suddenly stumbled, and then again, Do not blame him - blame the road And do not rush to change the horse. People, I ask you, for God's sake, Do not be shy about your kindness. There are not many friends on earth: Beware of losing friends. I adhered to some rules, Seeing evil in weakness. How many friends have I left in my life, How many friends have left me. After that there was a lot of things. And it used to be on steep paths How I repented, how I lacked my lost friends! And now I yearn to see you all, Those who once loved me, I have not forgiven me once Or who have not forgiven me. Rasul Gamzatov

And I really don't know which is better - This friendship or this enmity? Involuntarily, envious of strength, I am proud of enemies sometimes. Yakov Polonsky

DO YOU NEED TO CALL A FRIEND Do you really need to call a friend, When it's dark on the way, When you don't recognize the road And you don't have the strength to go? When trouble is on all sides, When the sun is at night, But won't he see, Will he not rush to help? After all, he will not be able to eat and sleep, When this is suddenly! But ... if a friend needs to be called, - It is hardly a friend ... Valentina Kosheleva

Main part. Revealing the theme of the essay In the world of fiction, including in Russian, you can find many examples that reveal the theme "Friendship-enmity". So, in the novel by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin "Dubrovsky" we see two old friends - Kirila Petrovich Troekurov and Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky. They were once comrades in the service. Dubrovsky was distinguished by pride and decisiveness of character. For this he was respected by Troekurov. Andrei Gavrilovich was an interesting conversationalist, and in his absence Troyekurov was bored.

Main part. We reveal the topic. The author explained their friendship by the fact that both of them were the same age, received the same upbringing, were early widowed and raised one child each. All the neighbors were jealous of their agreement. But in their relationship there came a time of discord, enmity, when Paramoshka, Troekurov's servant, insulted Dubrovsky while inspecting the kennel, "an accident upset and changed everything." Leaving Pokrovskoe, Andrei Gavrilovich demanded a servant for his trial. But the wayward Troekurov decided to humiliate his friend. Why did the landowners' friendship turn out to be fragile?

Main part. Disclosure of the topic. Troekurov began to pour out insults. Satisfied with his thirst for revenge, Troekurov realizes what he has done. He goes to Dubrovsky, whom he drove to madness. As we read the novel, we understand that real friends don't do that. The death of Dubrovsky makes us think about the most important issues. What is the value of human friendship? One should know when to stop in friendship and enmity. Reading Pushkin's novel, we are once again convinced that enmity does no good.

Main part. Disclosure of the topic In the novel by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time" we also see an example of friendship-enmity in the relationship between Pechorin and Grushnitsky. They are peers, colleagues. Pechorin declares: "In friendship, one is the slave of another." In their hearts, the heroes do not have a warm relationship to each other. Pechorin in relation to Grushnitsky is ruthless, does not know how to forgive weakness. Grigory Alexandrovich is a confident, reasonable, selfish, sarcastic man. He sees right through Grushnitsky and laughs at him. "I understood him, and he doesn't love me for that, although outwardly we are on the friendliest basis." And Grushnitsky is a completely different person: enthusiastic, verbose, soft-bodied, does not have bright character traits. Envious, spiteful, vain. "He speaks quickly and pretentiously." Grushnitsky is a cadet, he is twenty-one years old. What can we think about when reading the pages of Lermontov's work showing the relationship of these two heroes? How can we call this relationship? This is a very interesting question! They meet like old friends. The author shows their opposition in the chapter "Princess Mary".

Main part. Disclosure of the topic. When did the relationship between the characters crack? When Princess Mary is carried away by Pechorin, the chasm in the relations of friends becomes wider, the situation becomes very tense, hostile relations grow ... The duel is the denouement of the relationship. Pechorin kills his former friend and leaves. The death of a former friend does not cause any feelings or emotions in him. Did Pechorin understand the friendship correctly? In my opinion, of course, it is wrong. What was stopping him? There can be no slavish relationship in friendship! Friendship exists only on trust and understanding. The main thing in friendship is support, sincerity, the desire to help, and not a slave relationship. What hindered him, first of all, was his peculiar attitude towards people. Reading Lermontov's novel, we come to the conclusion that a person himself should be ready to be a friend, that friendship should be appreciated, that only warm human relations can strengthen friendship, and not turn it into enmity. And Pechorin does not have this, therefore he did not have real and devoted friends.

as well as about comrades, brothers-in-arms, friends, sidekicks, kunaks, acquaintances and enemies.
