Main characters: Assol, Arthur Gray.
A. Green's story “Scarlet Sails” is filled with dreams of a dazzling event and the joy of the little girl Assol.
Longren, a former sailor, lived with his daughter Assol on funds from the sale of sailboats and boats he made. His fellow countrymen did not like him. They considered Longren guilty of the death of the innkeeper Menners. He once did not help Longren’s wife, who was trying to save little Assol from hunger. Mary had to go to the city in bad weather to pawn the ring, after which she fell ill and died. This was the reason that Longren, who was on the shore, did not help the drowning innkeeper. This incident deepened the alienation of those around him and created a lasting mutual hatred between him and his daughter. The girl grew up without friends. Indoctrinated by adults, the children chased Assol, threw dirt at her and teased her that her father ate human flesh and was now making counterfeit money. E attempts to get closer ended in bitter crying, bruises and scratches. Finally, she stopped paying attention to slander and insults.
One day, Assol’s father sent her to the city with goods. While playing, the girl launched a yacht with scarlet sails. The stream picked up the toy and carried it downstream. The little girl ran for a long time, not losing sight of the yacht, but she couldn’t catch up.
A meeting on the seashore with a collector of legends, songs, fairy tales and tales miraculously changed Assol’s life. The wizard, as Egle called himself, told her that after a while a prince would sail for her on a ship with scarlet sails. The girl believed it and told her father about it.Arthur Gray was born a captain, wanted to be one and became one. He is kind, self-willed and fair. At the age of 20, Arthur fulfilled his dream by purchasing a schooner called Secret. Gray's ship passed through the ocean and ended up not far from Kaperna, the town where Assol lived. One day Gray, walking along the shore, saw a sleeping girl who struck him with her beauty. He put the ring on his finger.
In the tavern of the deceased Menners, where his son was in charge of business, Gray heard a story about a madwoman who was waiting for the prince on a ship with scarlet sails. The coal miner, kicked out of the tavern, told Gray that Assol was not crazy at all. This girl has a rich and interesting inner world. Amazed by the story, the young captain bought scarlet silk and hired musicians. The secret went around the cape off the coast of Kaperna. All the residents gathered on the shore to look at the wonderful ship with scarlet sails. Assol also ran there. Gray met her in a boat moored to the shore. He took the girl, shocked by the fulfillment of the prediction, to the Secret. The next day they were already far from Kaperna.What I liked most was the moment when Assol and Gray met.
But the oar splashed sharply near her; she raised her head. Gray bent down...
After reading Scarlet Sails, I realized that a fairy tale is needed not only for children, but also for adults. It causes excitement, does not allow you to calm down and always shows new sparkling distances, a different life, it disturbs and makes you passionately desire this life. This captivating book by A. Green is shone through, like the morning sun, with love for life, for spiritual youth and the belief that a person, in a rush to happiness, is capable of performing miracles with his own hands. In this I see the value of this work and the charm that the main character Assol had on me, who managed to carry through a painful existence the gift of a powerful imagination, purity of feelings and a shy smile. - Almost a hundred years ago, Alexander Green wrote a wonderful book, Scarlet Sails. The time was difficult then: the revolution, Civil war, devastation and hunger. But Scarlet Sails - romantic poem, after all, in hard times people need faith in a dream, in the fact that dreams come true. There is nothing fabulous about Scarlet Sails, real people, real difficulties. The secret of magic is in the “strange flying souls” of the author and his heroes.

He created more than 400 works, invented a whole world inhabited by brave and noble heroes. His extravaganza story “Scarlet Sails” enjoys special popular love and popularity.
The year was 1916. A lanky man with a heavy gaze wandered through the streets of St. Petersburg. He stopped at one of the display cases and spent a long time looking at a toy boat with white silk sails. The ship was beautiful, light and swift, but something was missing from it. If only the sails were a different color. Which one? Perhaps scarlet, the color of love and hope! This is how “Scarlet Sails” first appeared in the imagination of the writer Alexander Green.
This extravaganza was finally created in the harsh and hungry December of 1920. An excerpt from the work was published in the Evening Telegraph newspaper six months later, and the entire “Scarlet Sails” was published as a separate publication in 1923. The writer dedicated fairy tale second wife Nina, who is considered the prototype of Assol.
“Scarlet Sails” is a story about a dream come true. Since childhood, Assol believed that a prince would come for her on a white ship with scarlet sails. Arthur Gray dreamed of the sea and wanted to become a captain. Their wishes came true, life gave the heroes meeting and love. But how many beautiful pages, how many movements of the soul fit into this romantic story!
Green deliberately creates a contrast between the gray ordinariness of a small fishing village and the rich inner world young heroine. Assol's dreams, her pure and beautiful soul arouse suspicion among ordinary people. They consider the girl weak-minded and mock her belief in miracles. These people are mired in everyday affairs, do not sing songs and do not tell tales. Their courtship of women is crude and primitive. The residents of Kaperna reject everything that does not fit into the usual framework, so the brave and fair Longren and his dreamer daughter become outcasts in the village.
The heroine’s childhood cannot be called cloudless. Having lost his mother at five months, Assol grows up in poverty. She has to manage the housework and help her father make toys. This is the only source of income for a small family. Assol has no friends, and her peers reward her with insults and ridicule. A wonderful dream of a ship with scarlet sails, given by an old storyteller, becomes a support for a lonely girl for many years.
The writer creates a portrait of Assol upon meeting Egle large strokes: “print dress washed many times”, "dark thick hair» , "skinny, tanned legs". The description of the heroine when meeting Gray, when Assol was already seventeen years old, is not much different: a dress made of cheap muslin, an old headscarf, an expressive face, eyes too serious for her age. Green doesn't consider Assol a beauty, he calls her "living poem".
In the image of Longren, the writer embodied his ideas about ideal father. He, in fact, devotes his entire life to his daughter. In order not to be separated from the baby, the sailor remains on shore and finds a way to earn money when he can often be at home. Longren teaches Assol to read and write, tells her about his travels, and takes care of her.
Arthur Gray is a dreamer and romantic. That’s why he understands Assol so well. The young man is not attracted to the wealthy life of an aristocrat. He does not want, like his parents, to become “an arrogant slave of his position.” Gray is inspired by the sea, freedom and the wind of travel. Arthur is not short of firmness and perseverance in achieving his goals; he is not afraid of difficulties. Nobility, generosity, sense of justice and leadership qualities attract people to him.
Arthur's mother allowed him a lot, but the boy did not grow up spoiled. Even as a child, Gray demonstrated kindness and empathy. Let us remember how he tested the pain from a burn on himself, covered the nails on a crucifix with paint and helped a poor dowry-less maid. Overcoming the elements and oneself became Arthur Gray's way of life. “He was born a captain, he wanted to be one and became one”.
The sail has always been considered a symbol of freedom, courage and hope, and Greene’s white ship under scarlet sails turned into the embodiment of love, happiness and joy. It is no coincidence that the name of the galliot is “Secret”. Not a secret, not a riddle, but a secret for two.
The language of the work is amazing. Green manages to find phrases that literally bloom on the pages of the story in a bright, incredibly fresh and imaginative pattern: "happy morning shine", "flaming blue distance", "golden star coal", "fiery needle of a distant planet", "a sea surrounded by a golden thread", "throwing away the fun", “happiness sat in her like a fluffy kitten”. The whole story is permeated with images that create a unique atmosphere from a mixture of imagination and reality. Here the old trees speak in a deep voice and “they creak kindred”, flowers have "special persons", and the day "full of inevitability".
In “Scarlet Sails” a miracle is quite real. To create it, Arthur Gray needed white paint, an orchestra of traveling musicians, a barrel of hundred-year-old wine and two thousand square meters scarlet silk. But the crew of the Secret, the crew of the military cruiser, and the musicians of the orchestra all feel a sense of involvement in the fairy tale. A real miracle makes their eyes light up, their hearts open, and awakens the desire to do something equally unusual, kind, and bright. And then the cruiser salutes with all her guns, and the stern assistant captain Panten goes to make peace with the sailor.
The author called his work an extravaganza. This theatrical term indicate productions with fairy tale plot in lush scenery. Arthur Gray created an extravaganza for Assol, and Alexander Green for all grateful readers.
There are not many works in our literature that have such a strong influence on society and can compete in popularity with Scarlet Sails. A bright attitude, a surge of energy, pure impulses of the heart arise not only among young people, but also among mature people who meet for the first time or re-read Green’s extravaganza with pleasure.

Teacher's word : Today we will learn graphical-symbolic analysis work of art. In order to do a graphical-symbolic analysis, we must understand that the need to switch, when solving some problems specified in alphanumeric form, to the language of graphic constructions is often associated with an insufficient level of mastery of the alphanumeric language, as such, which requires treatment to another language. Without the concept of “context” it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to comprehend the text itself. The starting point for logical constructions is a symbolic image that helps to formulate the problem. To solve the problem we need to find from the textsupporting And key words, and using these words to findiconic word . First I will explain to you what support words are - these are the words that reflect general meaning works. Keywords give deeper meaning. And thirdly, the iconic word is main idea stories.

Longren was hated in the village, and his daughter Assol was also disliked. The girl was considered crazy, so she believed in her fantasies and waited for the prince who would come for her on a ship with scarlet sails. Assol silently endured insults and never responded to them with anger, but the main thing is that she did not give up her dream.
