The realization that the miraculous was near us comes too late.
A. A. Blok

Life certainly poses complex and ambiguous questions that we have to answer. But we are not always ready to take the first step in the right direction. Big role in in this case plays life experience, which for us is limited to family, school and friends. It is much easier for adults than for us children to solve such issues and problems. But over a short period of time, we also develop our own ideas about the world in which we live. And although we are childish, we try to independently answer the questions that life poses to us. The same problems arise in the hero of L. N. Tolstoy’s story “Childhood”.

The writer tells us about the fate of one boy, Nikolenka, who is gradually approaching adulthood. At every stage of his development, he is faced with questions that he has to answer. It is possible that his actions are motivated by wrong decisions. But this is exactly how he sees life and imagines the path he should follow. The author does not condemn his hero, but tries to adequately show all the shades of not only the image, but his soul. It’s as if she becomes his only ally in solving difficult life issues. For example, one day Nikolenka hears her father’s conversation with Karl Ivanovich, who talks about ingratitude. This remark is due to the fact that children are moving to Moscow to study, so the family no longer needs the services of a home teacher. At this moment, the author presents to us Nikolenka’s reasoning about what he heard: “I sympathized with his grief, and it hurt me that my father and Karl Ivanovich, whom I loved almost equally, did not understand each other; I again went to the corner, sat on my heels and talked about how to restore harmony between them.” Main character does not interfere in the relationship between father and teacher, but with all his soul he wants to peacefully resolve the issue that causes so much controversy and disagreement among adults.

A new dispute is playing out in the family between Nikolenka’s mother and father. They cannot come to a common opinion regarding the holy fool Grisha. Maman constantly welcomes people like this in her yard, but dad doesn’t like it either. This episode of the story does not tell about the feelings and behavior of the main character, his spiritual world and understanding of this situation are not revealed. However, Grisha, looking at the top of Volodya’s head, actually predicted that the children would soon leave the house. In this case new question The question that puts life before Nikolenka was whether he believes in predictions. It is followed by a new one: how does one relate to the holy fool himself? The answer is given in the narrative itself, since it is told from the perspective of the main character. Nikolenka in one phrase says everything about the image of the guest: “It was the holy fool and wanderer Grisha.” This characteristic tells us that the boy, like everyone else, believed some of his predictions. Therefore, the portrait of the holy fool, compiled by Nikolenka, includes not only a description of his appearance, but also his ability to guess the future.

Didn't miss the main character and love element. He likes the girl Katenka. But when he shows his feelings for her openly, Volodya “condemns” him, calling such relationships tenderness. Therefore, Nikolenka hides the flared feeling very deeply in her soul. “I have long been accustomed to her fresh, fair face and have always loved it; but now I began to look at him more carefully and fell in love even more.” Tolstoy does not show us passionate scenes and whirlwind romances. Such an attitude towards life would not be typical for a ten-year-old boy. Therefore, the writer tries to convey in a childlike way the relationships and feelings that arose in the heart of the main character.

But life does not stand still, and the hour of parting comes. Nikolenka faces a new question related to the move. Tears appear in the boy's eyes. He feels sorry to part with the world to which he is accustomed. But the thirst for new impressions seems to make them dry up: “That’s it, everything is pathetic! And poor maman? And tears came to my eyes again; but not for long".

Moving for a boy serves as a certain boundary that allows him to look into his past. At the same time, Nikolenka moves to the next stage in her life. In it you will need to not only directly enjoy the world around you, but also think about your actions. But if the hero remembers the past, it means that it is in it that he looks for answers to the questions that torment him.

When saying goodbye to her family, Nikolenka is sad, as if she has a presentiment that that carefree life will no longer exist. But the stage of growing up is considered by the author not only as a time of disappointment, but also as a period of discovery of new trends of the times. And at this moment it is very important on what basis the hero and even the ordinary person builds his life position. If he had a wonderful childhood, which he can remember with sadness, it means that in adulthood he will make fewer mistakes. At the same time, turning to those years and looking at them from a certain distance, a person retains some kind of internal connection with the moral content that was laid down in his childhood.

This work does not show such a long distance between the two stages of life. Therefore, we can judge what is happening in the soul of Nikolenka, who still remains a child. He continues to reason as naively and easily as he managed to do before.

However, the Moscow world allowed the boy’s poetic talent to reveal itself. He wrote his first poems. But shyness did not allow him to give a gift to his grandmother. When the father reads them, a “storm” and confusion reign in the soul of the main character. He is afraid that they are written crookedly. But the first experiment was a success, my grandmother praised the poems. In the story, we are not shown the boy’s rejoicing, which speaks of his kind and sympathetic soul, to which praise finally brought the desired peace. But life as an adult is not as carefree as it seems at first glance. It constantly moves forward and confronts man with the inevitable laws of nature. The death of his mother becomes such an obstacle and blow for Nikolenka. “Only at that moment did I understand... that that face, which for several days had been filled with beauty and tenderness, the face of the one I loved more than anything in the world, could excite horror, as if for the first time she had revealed to me the bitter truth and filled soul with despair." The boy approaches his grief in a special, childlike way. Perhaps he does not understand something, but the bitterness of loss still finds a place in his heart.

On the threshold of childhood and adolescence, not only the moral foundation is important, but also how a person for the first time independently resolves the issues that confront him. During this period, Nikolenka is not disappointed in her previous hopes and thoughts. We understand that the time of childhood does not impose any restrictions in solving problems. It seems that a person does as he pleases. But the next stage of life forces you to take into account not only your own self, but the world and the feelings of another person. Thus, the space of one hero seems to open up and expand, and he has to let other people into it, on whom the own life. “With the death of my mother, my happy time childhood and began new era- the era of adolescence..."

The adults in the story notice the fact that troubles make you old. Perhaps this has a certain reflection of reality. But they are the ones who prepare the hero for real life. Therefore, the trials that befell the boy forced him to grow older. They opened up to him a new, but not so rosy world. The boy becomes a little more serious and perceives differently surrounding reality. Tolstoy’s story “Childhood” ends with a new question, which the hero will have to answer in the next period of growing up: “The thought comes to me: has Providence really only connected me with these two creatures in order to forever make me regret them?..”. New life will also ask new questions, but Nikolenka will approach their solution from a position based on a small but very significant life experience.
