Relations with the grandmother


An obligatory element in our composition will be the characterization of the characters. Childhood (Gorky wrote the story, already being an adult) became a real school of life. Modern schoolchildren can hardly imagine the order and foundations of that time.

In the house of grandfather Kashirin the boy first encountered evil. Everyone was dazzled: adults as well as children. But only my grandmother, Akulina Ivanovna, became a true friend for the boy. She was a brave, strong woman, but at the same time very kind and affectionate.

Gorky’s mother had a hard time surviving the death of her husband and son, whom she gave birth prematurely because of stress, so the child almost did not feel her love and attention. Grandmother, on the contrary, fell in love with her grandson with all her heart.

The work on Gorky’s novel “Childhood” will contain a detailed description of this heroine. The boy compares it to a bear, because it is just as big and soft. All the way that they were traveling by boat to Nizhny Novgorod, my grandmother always entertains her grandson with fairy tales. She understands: on arrival home all of them are waiting for difficulties.

Thanks to her love and affection, the boy is more likely to experience a loss of family.
