“What does man teach nature?”


Nature: trees, flowers, river, mountains, birds. This is all that surrounds a person every day. Habitual and even annoying. What is there to admire? Than to admire? This is how a person thinks, who since childhood was not taught to notice the beauty of a dewdrop on rose petals, to admire the beauty of a newly blossoming white-billed birch, listen to the quiet evening of a wave of waves rushing to the shore. And who should teach? Probably, the father or mother, the grandmother or the grandfather, the one who itself always “was in a captivity at this beauty”.

The writer V. Krupin has a wonderful story with an intriguing title “Drop the sack”. It is about how the father taught the “blind” to the beauty of nature daughter to notice the beautiful. One day after the rain, when they loaded the barge with potatoes, the father suddenly said: “Varya, look, what a beauty.” And the daughter has a heavy bag on her shoulders: how will you look?

The phrase of the father, put in the title of the story, seems to me a kind of metaphor. After Varya drops the “bag of blindness,” a beautiful picture of the sky after the rain opens before her. A huge rainbow, and above it, like under an arc, the sun! The father also found figurative words describing this picture, comparing the sun with a horse drawn in a rainbow! At that time, the girl, knowing the beauty, “as if washed,” she “breathed easier”. Since that time.

Varya began to observe the beautiful in nature and taught her children, and her grandchildren, as she once adopted this skill from her father.

And the hero of the story of V. Shukshin “The Old Man, the Sun and the Girl”, an old village grandfather, teaches you to notice the beautiful young city artist in nature. It is thanks to the old man that she observes that the sun was unusually large that evening, and the river water in its setting rays was like blood. Gorgeous and the mountains! In the rays of the setting sun they seemed to move closer to people. Admiring the old man and the girl and the way,

between the river and the mountains, “the twilight quietly died away,” and a soft shadow was coming from the mountains. What will be the amazement of the artist, when she finds out that the beautiful person was opened by a blind person! How can you love your native land, how often to come to this shoreline, so that, having already gone blind, you can see all this! And not just to see, but to reveal this beauty to people.

We can conclude that we are taught to notice the beautiful people in nature, endowed with a special flair and special love for their native land. They themselves will notice and tell us that it is only worth taking a closer look at any plant, even the simplest stone, and you will understand how great and wise the surrounding world is, how unique, diverse and beautiful.
