What is cruelty?
In the essay there are references to the story of E. Gabova “Do not let the Red on the lake.”
Option 1
Cruelty is the property of people who do not know pity, kindness. Cruel-hearted are not able to feel someone else’s pain, empathize with the sufferer.
So, girls, classmates Svetka Sergeeva, “they did not even want to touch her,” despised the “only worn jeans”. They could not even imagine what Redhead could feel at the moment when her “bread with margarine and eggs Marinka Bykova squeamishly sidestepped”.
Cruelty is also terrible because it has no boundaries. In a neighboring school, three high school students beat up a second-grader, who was annoying them with their glasses with thick lenses… Is there anything human left in these teenagers?
Therefore, just like them, they call non-humans: people behave differently.
Option 2
Cruelty is a heartless, unkind, rude attitude towards
That’s why Zhenka’s act from the story of E. Gabowa can be called cruel. If for a moment the boy thought about Ryzhukha’s feelings, he would understand that she wanted to go to the lake as much as the rest of the guys, that by deceiving her to stay on the beach at the last moment – it is inhuman, but he did not care. He simply did not want to spoil his rest with her “howl”.
I was also struck by the cruelty with which schoolchildren in the movie “Scarecrow” mocked their peer, Lena Bessoltzeva, who took the blame of the cowardly Dimka Somov and this saved him from reprisals from classmates. As a punishment, they insulted her, humiliated her, even beat her, believing herself to be “fighters” for justice.
Yes, it’s scary to become an object of bullying peers. It’s scary to be different. But it is even more terrible to be with the soulless majority, because sooner or later a ruthless conscience will wake
Option 3
Cruelty is a gross, inhuman, insulting attitude towards people. It is terrible because it is multi-faceted, from the cruelty of words to the cruelty of actions.
In the story of E. Gabova Svetka Sergeeva, classmates gave a humiliating nickname – Ryzhuha. They despised her not only for appearance and high voice, but even for the fact that a normal person would have compassion-for poverty. And her singing classmates called “howling”, and she herself, in their opinion, was a “stupid redhead”. The ruthlessness of the children is striking in the episode of the exile of the girl from the ship. A whole class of soulless, cruel people! Really, even becoming adults, they will remain the same?
I would like all people to understand that cruelty is unacceptable in human relations.
