Assignments for the district (city) schoolchildren's literature Olympiad

2004 - 2005 academic year

I. Comprehensive analysis text. A.P. Chekhov "Ladies".

Fyodor Petrovich, director of public schools in the N province, who considers himself a fair and generous person, once received teacher Vremsky in his office.

No, Mr. Vremsky, he said, resignation is inevitable. With a voice like yours, it is impossible to continue teaching. How did he disappear from you?

I drank cold beer, sweating... - the teacher hissed.

What a pity! A man served for fourteen years, and suddenly such a misfortune! God knows what trifle you have to ruin your career over. What are you going to do now?

The teacher did not answer.

Are you a family man? - asked the director.

A wife and two children, Your Excellency...” the teacher hissed.

There was silence. The director got up from the table and walked from corner to corner, worried.

I can’t imagine what I should do with you! - he said. - You can’t be a teacher, you haven’t reached retirement yet... letting you go to the mercy of fate, on all four sides, is not entirely clever. You are our own person, you have served for fourteen years, which means our job is to help you... But how to help? What can I do for you? Put yourself in my position: what can I do for you?

There was silence; the director walked around and kept thinking, and Vremsky, overwhelmed by his grief, sat on the edge of his chair and also thought. Suddenly the director beamed and even snapped his fingers.

I'm surprised I didn't remember this before! - he spoke quickly. - Listen, this is what I can offer you... Next week the clerk at our shelter is retiring. If you want, take his place! There you are!

Vremsky, who had not expected such mercy, also beamed.

And great,” said the director. - Write a petition today...

Having released Vremsky, Fyodor Petrovich felt relief and even pleasure: the bent figure of the hissing teacher no longer stuck out in front of him, and it was pleasant to realize that, having offered Vremsky a free vacancy, he acted fairly and in good conscience, like a kind, completely decent person. But this good mood didn't last long. When he returned home and sat down to dinner, his wife, Nastasya Ivanovna, suddenly remembered:

Oh yes, I almost forgot! Yesterday Nina Sergeevna came to me and asked for one young man. They say there is a vacancy opening at our shelter...

Yes, but this place has already been promised to someone else,” the director said and frowned. - And you know my rule: I never give places under patronage.

I know, but for Nina Sergeevna, I think an exception can be made. She loves us like family, but we still haven’t done anything good for her. And don’t even think about refusing, Fedya! With your whims you will offend her and me.

Polzukhina.

Which Polzukhin? This is what's on New Year played in Chatsky's meeting? This gentleman? Never!

The director stopped eating.

Never! - he repeated. - God save me!

But why?

Understand, mother, that if a young man does not act directly, but through women, then he is rubbish! Why doesn't he come to me himself?

After lunch, the director lay down on the sofa in his office and began reading the newspapers and letters he had received.

“Dear Fyodor Petrovich! - the mayor’s wife wrote to him. - You once said that I am a heart expert and a connoisseur of people. Now you have to test this in practice. One of these days a certain K.N. will come to you to ask for a position as a clerk in our shelter. Polzukhin, whom I know as a wonderful young man. The young man is very handsome. By taking part in it, you will be convinced...”, etc.

Never! - said the director. - God save me!

After this, not a day passed without the director receiving letters recommending Polzukhin. One fine morning Polzukhin himself appeared, a plump young man with a shaved jockey face, wearing a new black pair...

On official business, I do not receive appointments here, but in the office,” the director said dryly, after listening to his request.

Forgive me, Your Excellency, but our mutual friends advised me to apply here.

Hm!.. - the director mumbled, looking with hatred at his pointy shoes. “As far as I know,” he said, “your father has a fortune and you are not in need, why do you need to ask for this place?” After all, the salary is a pittance!

I’m not doing it because of the salary, but because... And yet it’s a government service...

So, sir... It seems to me that in a month you will get tired of this position and you will quit it, but meanwhile there are candidates for whom this place is a career for life... There are poor people for whom...

Don't get tired of it, Your Excellency! - Polzukhin interrupted. - Honestly, I will try!

The director was blown up.

Listen,” he asked, smiling contemptuously, “why didn’t you immediately turn to me, but found it necessary to first disturb the ladies?”

“I didn’t know that this would be unpleasant for you,” Polzukhin answered and became embarrassed. “But, Your Excellency, if you do not attach importance to letters of recommendation, then I can present you with certifications ...

He took a paper out of his pocket and handed it to the director. Under the certification, written in clerical style and handwriting, was the signature of the governor. It was clear from everything that the governor signed without reading it, just to get rid of some obsessive lady.

There is nothing to do, I bow... I obey... - said the director, having read the certification, and sighed. - Submit your petition tomorrow... There is nothing to do...

And when Polzukhin left, the director gave himself over to a feeling of disgust.

Rubbish! - he hissed, walking from corner to corner. - You’ve finally achieved your goal, you worthless shuffler, woman’s man! Reptile! Creature!

The director spat loudly at the door behind which Polzukhin had disappeared, and suddenly became embarrassed, because at that time a lady, the wife of the manager of the state chamber, was entering his office...

Just a minute, just a minute... - the lady began. - Sit down, godfather, and listen to me carefully... Well, they say you have a vacancy... Tomorrow or today you will have a young man, a certain Polzukhin ...

The lady chirped, and the director looked at her with dull, drowsy eyes, like a man about to faint, he looked and smiled out of decency.

And the next day, receiving Vremsky in his office, the director for a long time did not dare to tell him the truth. He hesitated, got confused and couldn’t find where to start or what to say. He wanted to apologize to the teacher, to tell him the whole truth, but his tongue was slurring like a drunk, his ears were burning, and he suddenly felt hurt and annoyed that he had to play such an absurd role - in his office, in front of his subordinate. He suddenly hit the table, jumped up and shouted angrily:

I don't have room for you! No and no! Leave me alone! Don't torture me! Leave me alone and do me a favor!

And he left the office.

II. Interpretation poetic text. A. Fet “Swallows”.

Swallows

Nature's idle spy,

I love you, forgetting everything around you,

Watch out for the swallowtail

Over the evening pond.

So I rushed and drew -

And it's scary to smooth the glass

The alien element was not enough

Lightning wing.

And again the same boldness

And the same dark stream, -

Isn't that what inspiration is?

And human me?

Isn’t it me, a meager vessel,

I dare to take the forbidden path,

Alien, transcendental elements,

Trying to scoop up at least a drop.
