Examination paper according to literature consists of two parts.
The first part of the work involves text analysis work of art, located in the examination paper itself, the second part offers essay topics.
When assessing the performance of all types of tasks, the verbal format of the answers is taken into account.
First part consists of two alternative options (we need to choose one of them). The first option offers an analysis of a fragment of an epic, dramatic or lyric epic work, and the second - an analysis of a lyric poem or fable.
Each of first two tasks involves a written response in an approximate amount 3–5 sentences and is assessed with a maximum of 3 points.
Third task The first part involves not only thinking about the proposed text, but also comparing it with another work or fragment, the text of which is also given in the examination paper. Approximate volume 5–8 sentences.
It is recommended that the examinee take 120 minutes to complete the tasks of Part 1 of the work.
Second part The examination paper contains four essay topics that require extensive written argumentation.
The first theme refers to the work from which the fragment for the first version of the first part is taken, and the second - to the work of the poet, whose lyric poem or fable is included in the second version of the first part.
Tasks 2.3 and 2.4 are formulated based on the works of other writers whose works were not included in the options for part 1 ( Old Russian literature; literature XVIII, XIX and XX centuries). Tasks 2.3, 2.4 are not related to the problems of the works given in the first part of the examination paper. The examinee chooses one of four topics offered to him.
In the lyric essay, the examinee must analyze at least two poems.
The student is asked to take 115 minutes to write the essay.
In 2018, the first part of the OGE in literature will remain unchanged. Graduates choose one of two options and write detailed answers to assignments based on the text. Volume – 5–8 sentences.
Below you have two options for a detailed answer for the three tasks of part one as an example of answers to the first three tasks of the OGE in literature. Topics concern " Dead souls"Gogol and Tyutchev's poem "There is in the primordial autumn...".
Open the demo version of the OGE in Literature 2017 and read the tasks and text for it.
Let's look at option 1
Task 1.1.1
What properties of Chichikov’s nature manifested themselves in his internal monologue?
Answer to task 1.1.1
Internal monologue is one of the means that Gogol resorts to to characterize his character. In this fragment, such traits of Chichikov as prudence, attentiveness and coldness are revealed to the reader: “But our hero was already middle-aged and of a prudently cool character.” Emotional impulses and recklessness in behavior are alien to him. Chichikov is a typical cynic, subordinating his impulses to reason, which makes him think first and then act. The same traits of the hero can be found in chapter 4, where the hero’s nature is revealed through a conversation with Nozdryov.
Task 1.1.2
Answer to task 1.1.2
The mention of a twenty-year-old boy is given to indicate the contrast between the behavior of the young man and the behavior demonstrated by Chichikov. At twenty years old, young men are still a little naive, impressionable and ready for rash actions, “forgetting themselves, and service, and the world, and everything that is in the world.” Their behavior is guided by strong emotional impulses, and the mind always gives way to the heart. This behavior completely contradicts the prudence of the “middle-aged” Chichikov.
Task 1.1.3.
Compare fragments of the poem by N.V. Gogol " Dead souls"and comedy by D.I. Fonvizin "Undergrowth". In what ways is Skotinin similar to Chichikov, who thought about the “young stranger”?
Excerpt of text from task 1.1.3
Skotinin. Why can't I see my bride? Where is she? There will be an agreement in the evening, so isn’t it time to tell her that they are marrying her off?
Mrs. Prostakova. We'll make it, brother. If we tell her this ahead of time, she may still think that we are reporting to her. Although by marriage, however, I am related to her; and I love that strangers listen to me.
Prostakov (to Skotinin). To tell the truth, we treated Sophia as if she were an orphan. After her father she remained a baby. About six months ago, her mother, and my in-law, had a stroke...
Mrs. Prostakova (shows as if she is baptizing her heart). The power of the god is with us.
Prostakov. From which she went to the next world. Her uncle, Mr. Starodum, went to Siberia; and since there has been no rumor or news of him for several years now, we consider him dead. We, seeing that she was left alone, took her to our village and look after her estate as if it were our own.
Mrs. Prostakova. Why are you so spoiled today, my father? My brother might also think that we took her in for fun.
Prostakov. Well, mother, how should he think about this? After all, we can’t move Sofyushkino’s real estate estate to ourselves.
Skotinin. And although the movable has been put forward, I am not a petitioner. I don’t like to bother, and I’m afraid. No matter how much my neighbors offended me, no matter how much loss they caused, I didn’t hit anyone with my brow, and any loss, rather than going after it, I would rip off from my own peasants, and the ends would be in the water.
Prostakov. It’s true, brother: the whole neighborhood says that you are a master at collecting rent.
Mrs. Prostakova. If only you could teach us, brother father; but we just can’t do it. Since we took away everything the peasants had, we can’t take anything back. Such a disaster!
Skotinin. Please, sister, I will teach you, I will teach you, just marry me to Sophia.
Mrs. Prostakova. Did you really like this girl that much?
Skotinin. No, it's not the girl I like.
Prostakov. So next door to her village?
Skotinin. And not the villages, but the fact that it is found in the villages and what my mortal desire is.
Mrs. Prostakova. Until what, brother?
Skotinin. I love pigs, sister, and in our neighborhood there are such large pigs that there is not a single one of them that, standing on its hind legs, would not be taller than each of us by a whole head.
(D.I. Fonvizin. “Undergrowth”)
Answer to task 1.1.3
In Chichikov and Skotinin you can find a number common features, such as prudence, selfishness, lack of romantic impulse. Chichikov is a typical “acquirer”, in whom Gogol saw the new evil of Russia: quiet, diligent, but enterprising. He cares only about his own benefit, and only “two thousand two hundred dowry” can make a young girl a “tidbit” in his eyes. At the landowner Skotinin's main characteristic already contained in his surname. He is also concerned about his own benefit, but it does not even find expression in money. After all, the main passion of this hero is pigs. He wants to marry Sophia, but only because his favorites are found in her village. Both Chichikov’s cold prudence and Skotinin’s selfish ignorance are similar in their lack of interest in everything that does not directly lead to the satisfaction of their self-interest.
Let's look at option 2
Task 1.2.1
What mood is imbued with the poem “In the original autumn...”?
Answer to task 1.2.1
Tyutchev's poem creates a mood of peace and solemnity. To do this, the poet uses expressive epithets: “in the original autumn”, “wonderful time”, “pure and warm azure”, etc. The feeling of understatement and languor in the poem is given by frequently occurring ellipses, which symbolize that the time of violent emotions has ended with the summer. Autumn is a time of leisurely reflection and relaxation.
Task 1.2.2.
What role do epithets play in the poem “There is in the original autumn...”?
Answer to task 1.2.2.
Epithets are especially important when describing nature. After all, they allow you not just to describe objects, but to convey the author’s attitude towards what he writes about. Even the most ordinary words used as epithets can create vivid images. “A vigorous sickle”, “a web of thin hair”, “a short time”, “on an idle furrow”, “a crystal day” - all these combinations create the mood of the poem, conveying Tyutchev’s feelings caused by early autumn.
Task 1.2.3
How do the autumn pictures created in the poems of F.I. differ? Tyutchev “There is in the original autumn...” and N.A. Nekrasov "Before the Rain"?
Excerpt of a poem for task 1.2.3
BEFORE THE RAIN
The mournful wind drives
I'm flocking clouds to the edge of heaven,
The broken spruce groans,
The dark forest whispers dully.
To a stream, pockmarked and motley,
A leaf flies after a leaf,
And a dry and sharp stream
It's getting cold.
Twilight falls over everything;
Hitting from all sides,
Spinning in the air screaming
A flock of jackdaws and crows.
Over a passing tarataika
The top is down, the front is closed;
And “let’s go!” - standing up with a whip,
The gendarme shouts to the driver...
(N.A. Nekrasov. 1846)
Answer to task 1.2.3.
Tyutchev's poem describes early autumn, which the author himself calls “wonderful times.” The work is permeated with peace and admiration for the beauty of nature. This is the moment when both the earth and people rest: “Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell // Now everything is empty - space is everywhere...”. Autumn is represented as a beautiful, solemn time, when the cold weather is still far away and you can indulge in thoughts and gentle sadness. Nekrasov presents a completely different autumn: it is unfriendly and unmerciful to the traveler. “Clean and warm azure” gives way to “a mournful wind,” and “radiant evenings” to “a twilight falling over everything.” The autumn described by Nekrasov evokes a mood of anxiety and sadness. Two poems personify two opposing pictures of autumn, familiar to everyone.
A text fragment (or a poem, or a fable) is accompanied by a system of written tasks (three tasks for each option) aimed at analyzing the problems of a work of art and the main means of revealing the author's idea. Each of the first two tasks requires a written response of approximately 3–5 sentences and is worth a maximum of 3 points.
The third task (1.1.3 or 1.2.3) involves not only thinking about the proposed text, but also comparing it with another work or fragment, the text of which is also given in the examination paper (approximate volume - 5-8 sentences).
Part 2 of the examination paper contains four essay topics that require extensive written argumentation. The examinee chooses one of four topics proposed to him (the student is asked to spend 115 minutes to create an essay). In an essay on lyric poetry, the examinee must analyze at least two poems (their number can be increased at the discretion of the examinee). Examinees are recommended to have a volume of at least 200 words (if the essay contains less than 150 words, then such work is considered incomplete).
The essay is assessed with a maximum of 12 points.
Scale for converting points to grades:
"2"– from 0 to 6
"3"– from 7 to 13
"4"– from 14 to 18
"5"– from 19 to 23
System for assessing the performance of individual tasks and the examination work as a whole
The assessment of the completion of the examination work tasks is carried out on the basis of special criteria developed for the three specified types of tasks that require a detailed answer in different volumes.
For completing each of the two tasks of a basic level of complexity (1.1.1, 1.1.2; 1.2.1, 1.2.2), the examinee can receive a maximum of 3 points (2 points for the content criterion and 1 point for the verbal format of the answer).
Completing the task higher level complexity (1.1.3 or 1.2.3) is assessed according to three criteria: “The ability to compare works of art”; “The depth of the judgments made and the persuasiveness of the arguments”; “Following speech norms.” The first criterion is the main one: if the expert gives 0 points on it, the task is considered unfulfilled and is not assessed according to other criteria (0 points are given in the answer verification protocol). The examinee can receive a maximum of 5 points for completing task 1.1.3 or 1.2.3.
Completion of the task in Part 2 (essay) is assessed according to five criteria: “The depth of disclosure of the topic of the essay and the persuasiveness of judgments” (maximum – 3 points); “Level of mastery of theoretical and literary concepts” (maximum – 2 points); “The validity of using the text of the work” (maximum – 2 points); “Compositional integrity and consistency of presentation” (maximum – 2 points); “Following speech norms” (maximum – 3 points). Thus, the examinee can receive a maximum of 12 points for the essay. The first criterion is the main one: if the expert gives 0 points on it, the task is considered unfulfilled and is not assessed according to other criteria (0 points are given in the answer verification protocol). When evaluating an essay, its length is also taken into account. A minimum length of 200 words is recommended for examinees. If the essay contains less than 150 words (the word count includes all words, including function words), then such work is considered incomplete and is scored 0 points.
235 minutes are allotted to complete the examination work.
