During the classes

1. Conversation with students

What does the word "conflict" mean?

How do you feel when you are in conflict with someone?

What is needed for conflict?

What happens when conflict goes wrong or is suppressed?

2. Teacher's word

Let's turn to I. Bunin's story and analyze the conflict situation of this story.

3. Reading the first lines of the story from the words “My dear, when you grow up, will you remember how one day”... to the words “but it was too big a fight.”

What is unusual about this beginning? What pronoun appears in each of his sentences? Why is there always “you” in a first-person story?

We are witnessing someone's explanation. An adult wants to explain something to you. With your help, he is trying to understand something that he did not understand before. Where did this thing begin that even years later haunts this nameless adult uncle?

4. Role-based reading of scenes from the second chapter.

Teacher: It turns out that acquaintance with numbers, so important for the boy, was postponed until tomorrow only because an adult did not want to do it.

Why does my uncle evaluate his action years later as a “great sin”?(it’s a sin to dismiss children; the boy sought to understand the world, but he was deprived of this joy).

How many of you are familiar with this situation? Whom have adults brushed aside at least once? Hard time? (discussion of the issue).

5. Write on the board

Scheme of conflict escalation.

1 . Disagreement.

2. Dissatisfaction.

3. Opposition.

4. Humiliation.

5. Depression.

6. Break.

6. Let's see how the conflict between uncle and nephew grows .

1) So, disagreement . How did it manifest itself?

Boy: “Show me the numbers.” Uncle: “I don’t want to now. Tomorrow".

– Why didn’t the uncle meet the boy halfway?(he doesn’t want to worry himself, but to justify his laziness, he refers to the wise rule: “It’s harmful to spoil children”).

2) The second stage of the conflict –discontent . What did it mean? Find and read lines in the text that talk about the behavior of the uncle and the boy.

Boy: “Well, okay, uncle,” you threatened boldly and cheerfully. “Remember this to yourself.” (Rumbling of chairs and distant screams) - Uncle does not pay attention to the noise.

3) The next stage of the conflict’s growth isopposition . Find the lines that reflect this stage.

Boy: “He started jumping up, kicking the floor, screaming.” Uncle: “Stop it!”

4) After opposition comes the stage of conflict -humiliation .

The uncle "grabbed the child by the hand and pushed him out of the room."

Now find in the text of the third chapter words that evaluate the behavior of an adult and the behavior of a boy.

Uncle: “jumped up in a rage,” “barked at the top of his lungs,” “pulled his hand,” “slapped him with pleasure,” “pushed him out of the room.”

Boy: “a soul overflowing with life,” “a ringing cry of divine joy,” “the Lord God himself would have smiled,” “he shouted in confusion.”

– What can be said about the behavior of an adult and a child based on these words?(the uncle humiliates his nephew, but he doesn’t seem to understand this).

But the story was not written to tell children how not to behave. The author’s goal is to give adults the opportunity to look at themselves from the outside.

5) Chapter in which it appearsaggression, fourth - the next stage of the conflict between uncle and nephew(The uncle becomes hysterical. The boy outwardly tries to remain calm.)

Do other adults sympathize with the boy? Find examples in the text. Why didn't they console him?(following the rules is more important to them than the impulses of their own heart).

6) Chapter five begins with the question: “And we immediately made peace?” - you ask.”

What does this phrase tell us?(the boy has already forgotten what happened in the evening).

Why did you forget? (he is not tormented by his conscience, he did not want harm to anyone, a child’s heart is easy-going).

What was the boy doing?(moving empty match boxes).

Why didn’t the child’s sobs or his tear-stained face touch his uncle? Did your heart sank at the sight of empty boxes?(the boxes are a symbol of the child’s helplessness and insecurity).

7) What lesson, according to the uncle, should the child learn from this quarrel?(any joy in life must be earned, and not begged for. You will not achieve anything from life by screaming, crying, or stomping).

Read the words from part six that confirm this idea.

7. Teacher's word

The conflict is ripe. Are there ways out of this situation? Let's turn to science.

A word from a psychologist who tells us ways out of the conflict. Discussion.

Tenderness

Humor

Compromise

Arbitration court

Analysis of your actions

Listening skills

Understanding

Agreement

Which way out did the boy choose? (“you have humbled yourself”). The boy became delicate. Now let’s work on the word “delicate.” What does it mean?

8. Working with a dictionary.

Delicate - polite, gentle in handling.

Does the boy's behavior meet this definition?

This quality is positive, will you take it for yourself?

Did the boy's uncle teach him to write numbers?

Did he himself learn any lesson from the boy?

What alphabet did the boy discover to his “very, very smart uncle”?(you need to respect not only adults, but also children).

9. Summing up the lesson.

What do you think the boy was guilty of?

What is uncle's fault?

Whose side is the author on in this conflict?

And you?

10. Homework: answer in writing the question “What did I.A.’s story teach me?” Bunin "Numbers?"

At the literature lesson we got acquainted with another story by Bunin Numbers for the 7th grade. It is easy and enjoyable to read, and raises current topic relations between adults and children. Having become familiar with the work, we can now briefly write down the information for reader's diary and his work Figures, making .

Bunin's story Figures

Analyzing Bunin's story, I would like to say, this work is dedicated to the indomitable thirst for knowledge by a person who is just growing up and wants to know everything at once. It’s just that adults don’t understand this. It seems to them that these are just the machinations of children, which is why conflict situations. But how can you express yourself without hysterics, reach adults and attract attention? This is exactly what a hero does when he is denied such a simple thing as learning numbers.

The story itself is a description of one day. It consists of seven chapters, where we get acquainted with the heroes of the work.

Features of genre and narrative

If we talk about the genre, then this work is a psychological novel, which the author built on the presentation of individual moments of a quarrel. A story about an adult’s reluctance to meet a child, all because he’s lazy.

If we dwell in more detail on the features of the narrative, then this is a story that is told in the first person. On behalf of the adult hero, the same uncle who refused to allow his nephew to study numbers with him. This situation gave the hero the opportunity to look at himself from the outside and evaluate his actions. The uncle is still tormented by his conscience, he is worried, so he tries, under any pretext, to look into the room of the offended and punished child. But again, he does this with a serious face, without admitting his mistake. His pride did not allow him to make reconciliation, while the child turned out to be morally wiser. He was the first to ask for forgiveness for his behavior, after which his uncle showed the child how numbers were written and called. The child has long forgotten this story, but his uncle still remembers an incident where he was unable to correctly assess the situation.

Heroes of the story

The heroes of Bunin's story are the boy Zhenya and his uncle. Minor characters- mother and grandmother.

Zhenya is an inquisitive child who is interested in everything. He wanted to study the numbers, but due to the laziness of the adults, he was refused. He can’t understand why he can’t work out with him, so he throws a tantrum. As a result, the child managed to forget the offense and apologize. The uncle nevertheless paid attention to the child, because he himself admitted his guilt and wrongness of actions, his cruelty towards his nephew.

Uncle is strict, reserved. Taking the child's sincere desire to study numbers as a whim, he refused him, forgetting his desires in childhood. And when he realized his mistake, he could not overcome his pride, and therefore did not take the first step towards reconciliation. But after the child’s apology, he grabbed the first opportunity and began to study the numbers with him with pleasure.

We reflect on the story “Numbers” we read.

To the question: “Who is to blame for the quarrel between the boy and his uncle?” — it is impossible to answer unambiguously. At first glance, it seems that the cause of the quarrel is the behavior of the boy, who stomps his feet on the floor. But if we read the story more carefully, we will see that the uncle is irritated precisely because he realizes his initial lie and mental laziness, which prevented him from immediately buying pencils and paper for the child and showing the numbers. He understands his guilt, but it is difficult for a person to realize that he is guilty; he feels irritated by this and is looking for a reason to vent his irritation. This is the reason for a child’s prank. The uncle calls the reason for the boy’s pranks an excess of vital energy, which seeks an outlet in physical activity and movement. The uncle condemns his own actions: “I was already ashamed, and I lit a cigarette without raising my eyes to my grandmother.”

The grandmother and mother support the uncle: the mother believes that it is necessary to be impartial so that the child does not grow up spoiled, and the grandmother, to please the uncle and mother, “barely sat still.” The narration is told from the uncle’s point of view, so it is very difficult to isolate the author’s position in the work. In our opinion, the author’s task in this story is not to support the uncle or the boy, but to show the inner world of the uncle and the boy, the need for an adult to peer into the inner world of a child and analyze the motives of his actions.

Arithmetic of feelings. Analysis of I. A. Bunin’s story “Numbers”

According to K. G. Paustovsky, in the field of the Russian language, I. A. Bunin was an unsurpassed master... From the immense number of Russian words, he unmistakably chose for each of his stories the words that were the most picturesque, the most powerful, connected by some invisible and almost mysterious connection with the narrative and are solely necessary for this narrative.

In I. A. Bunin’s story “Numbers” there are two main characters - an uncle and a boy. Judging by their warmrelationship, they have been friends for a long time. The uncle's love for his nephew is felt, but he keeps the nephew at a distance, since he is sure that “it is harmful to spoil children.” And in his soul he understands that he must immediately respond to the boy’s request, but he hesitates to answer for the same reason.

“You see, I am a very, very, smart uncle...” The main feeling of this phrase is irony. The uncle is ironic at himself, but he forgot the most important thing - what he was like as a child.

Often adults do not understand their children, forgetting themselves in childhood, forgetting about their childhood joys and sorrows, turning into fair and strict uncles and aunts.

Life is shown in the perception of an adult who is experienced, smart, knows how to control his feelings, and knows how to punish a child. He does not want to understand the boy’s great desire, so as not to spoil him.

But a child cannot understand this! After all, he has no life experience, he cannot control his feelings, and his actions become unpredictable and uncontrollable. The boy does not understand why they refuse him: “After all, it’s possible to show numbers on the king’s day?” His reasoning comes from a great desire to experience the joy of knowledge, and he is refused not for any serious reason, but his uncle simply doesn’t want to do this now.

To draw attention to himself, the boy decides to rebel. We can condemn a boy who stomps his feet, screams shrilly and does not pay attention to the comments of adults. But here we find words that evaluate the behavior of an adult and convey the attitude towards the boy: “jumped up in a rage”, “barked at the top of his lungs”, “what the hell doused me”, “a bucket of anger”, “pulled my hand”, “slapped with pleasure”, “pushed out of the room.”

We understand that this story was written not to teach children morals, not to tell children how to behave, but also so that adults could look at themselves from the outside.

Adults worry during a conflict: “Granny’s lips and eyebrows suddenly trembled, and, turning to the window, she began to quickly, quickly pound the table with a teaspoon.” “A terribly spoiled child,” said the mother, frowning and trying to be impartial.” Although she understands that this is not so.

The uncle condemns himself for laziness: “I really didn’t want to go into the city,” “my heart told me that I was committing a great sin,” “I was already ashamed, I lit a cigarette without raising my eyes to my grandmother.” He agreed regrets his action: “I wanted to get up from my seat, open the door to the nursery and immediately, with some kind of hot word, put an end to your suffering.”

The boy forgot everything that happened that winter evening, but the adult remembers. He forgot because his conscience does not torment him, because he did not want to harm anyone, but simply lived and enjoyed life. A child’s heart is quick-witted, it cannot remember evil for a long time, feed itself with hatred, it longs for love and happiness...

Neither the child’s sobs nor his tear-stained face touched the heart of an adult, but he was tormented by the boxes, empty matchboxes, which the boy moved while sitting on the floor. These boxes are a symbol of the child’s helplessness, insecurity, and inability. And adults should be ashamed to offend children by showing them their strength and superiority.”

This incident helped my uncle to look critically at himself and analyze his life.

And Zhenya had to retreat before the obstacle: “Pride was broken. You were defeated"; “And you humbled yourself.” He had to reconcile himself and admit his guilt, although he was not guilty of anything.

He begins to pretend: “How you worked! How afraid you were to anger me, how submissive, delicate, and careful you tried to be in every move you made!” The child tries to replace a beautiful dream with something small: he plays with empty matchboxes. A sincere impulse of the soul was replaced by a fake. On the one hand, he learns to be restrained, but on the other, he loses himself. And this is too expensive

Bunin introduces us to complex world, in the relationship between adults and children. Adults sometimes behave overbearingly towards children, not seeing children as little people. But children have their own desires and feelings, which also need to be respected. The author teaches adults to be more attentive and careful with children, trying not to hurt their sensitive souls.

"Numbers"

We understand that this story was written not to moralize children, not to tell children how to behave, but also so that adults could look at themselves from the outside.
