The essay contains references to the story by A. Pristavkin “Golden Fish”.
Option 1
Mercy is the kindness of the heart, because it is not for nothing that this word was formed from the words “sweet” and “heart”. It seems to me that the absence or presence of mercy largely determines a person’s behavior.
In A. Pristavkin’s story, the girls who caught a baby with a fish near the aquarium showed real mercy. They neither scolded Lucy nor punished her. The sight of this little girl amazed them. She herself looked like transparent fish. The girls realized that only terrible hunger forced Lyusenka to eat goldfish.
The girls begging for a piece of bread for Lyusenka in the middle of the night makes us believe that they will grow up to be kind, caring people.
Compassionate people make this world a better and kinder place.
Option 2
Mercy is kindness, it is the ability to feel someone else’s pain with your heart and ease it with deeds. The basis of mercy, in my opinion, is sincere pity and true love for a person.
Were it not these feelings that destroyed the anger of the girls, the characters in A. Pristavkin’s story, as soon as they saw the fish thief undressed? Pity for Lyusenka, who was so similar to the same transparent fish, made the girls’ hearts tremble. And Inna’s answer to the night nanny’s question indicates that the baby will not be left without attention. I think that everyone will remember this lesson of compassion: both Lyusenka and the girls.
An example of mercy today is the behavior of people who respond to requests to donate blood for the sick. This is what my grandfather and many other people did when they became donors for the victims of the subway disaster.
I think charity brings people together and makes them better people.
Option 3
Mercy is kindness combined with pity for someone and a desire to help. In life it is very important to be merciful, because mercy gives rise to a reciprocal feeling of love and gratitude.
You can imagine how the girls from A. Pristavkin’s text felt when they watched the goldfish disappear from the aquarium one after another. Imagine their amazement when they found the smallest girl, Lyusenka, at the crime scene. But the sight of the undressed baby left them speechless: Lyusenka herself looked like a bloodless fish. Pity for the child and kindness made the girls understand that this baby needs to be looked after and fed. That’s why Inna went to the kitchen in the middle of the night to ask for a piece of bread for Lucy.
I think that Lyusenka will never be evil, because she received an inoculation of mercy.
In the story by L.N. Tolstoy’s “Prisoner of the Caucasus,” the girl Dina also showed mercy to the captured officer Zhilin: seeing how he was suffering, she helped him escape.
Mercy can work miracles.
Option 4
Mercy is complex concept, which includes kindness, compassion, cordiality, the desire to take care of the weak and protect them. I consider mercy one of the most important qualities of a person.
The girls from the orphanage, about whom we learn from A. Pristavkin’s story, showed mercy when they did not punish Lyusenka for eating fish. Her fragility and exhaustion amazed them. Therefore, they did not tell the night nanny about Lyusenka’s theft, but asked her for some bread for the baby.
I can call my rhythmic gymnastics teacher Marina Yuryevna merciful. She organized a shelter for stray dogs and attracted caring citizens for this purpose. Volunteers help her find homes for the shelter’s pets. I believe its creation would not have been possible if not for the kindness of everyone who participated and is participating in this matter.
Mercy makes even the weakest person strong.
Option 5
By mercy I mean the ability to have compassion for another person. This concept includes pity and the desire to help someone who is in trouble or in a difficult situation.
The story we are introduced to in A. Pristavkin’s story is, of course, about mercy. The pupils of the orphanage did not notice the smallest of them, Lyusenka, they did not care about her. When the girls caught her with a fish in her hand, they could severely punish the little girl for stealing. But they didn't do this. Lyusenka's vulnerability awakened mercy in them. After all, she herself resembled a skinny fish that she wanted to protect. That’s why Inna rushed to get bread for the baby.
There are many merciful people living in Russia. On television, viewers are regularly thanked for helping to raise money for children for expensive treatment or for not leaving the region affected by a natural disaster in the lurch.
Charity unites people, and that's wonderful! Material from the site
Option 6
I think that mercy is humanity, compassion, compassion, kindness. Mercy is tested only by a person's actions.
Let us turn to the text of A. Pristavkin for an example. When it was discovered that Lyusenka was stealing fish from the aquarium, the reader saw her through the eyes of the girls. “It was scary to look at her,” “thin, bloodless little body,” transparent skin. Lyusenka’s exhaustion forced the girls to immediately forgive her for the theft, and in this they showed real mercy!
There are also many examples of true mercy in our lives. Everyone knows the charitable foundations of Chulpan Khamatova and Natalia Vodianova. I think it was nothing other than mercy that pushed these people to the decision to use their fame for a good cause. The result of their activities is thousands of lives saved throughout the country and dozens of playgrounds in different regions of Russia.
The more mercy there is in our life, the less grief and suffering there will be.

(According to L. Kuklin)
Option 1
Compassion is the ability not only to feel the pain of another person, but also to help either get rid of it or reduce it. The basis of this feeling, in my opinion, is love for all living things, because without it compassion cannot be sincere.
Thus, it was the love of the famous Mother Teresa for people throughout her long life that was the basis for the construction of dozens of shelters and hospitals for the poor and sick. For her mercy she received Nobel Prize peace.
To show feelings of compassion there can be different reasons. This is confirmed by the action of the hero of the story by L. Kuklin - the boy who gave a valuable collection of stamps to a paralyzed, unfamiliar “comrade” (sentence 33). He did this out of a desire to please him and make life easier for his peer (sentence 35).
I think that only those who accept other people's pain or problems as their own can truly be compassionate.
Option 2
What is compassion? I think the answer lies in the word itself. The prefix “co-” denotes togetherness, community, that is, compassion is the ability to share suffering and, if possible, find a way to get rid of it. This spiritual quality is characteristic of sensitive and caring people.
The hero of the story by L. Kuklina really imbued with the misfortune of his peer, confined to a wheelchair (sentences 32-34). He did not spare the album for him (sentence 33) and sincerely shared the boy’s feelings when he cried with joy after accepting the gift (sentence 44).
A person needs a person, especially in difficult times. It’s wonderful that there is such a wonderful quality - compassion.
Option 3
Compassion is a manifestation of sincere, selfless love from a person to a person in a difficult situation. Compassionate people always act as if they are helping not a stranger, but the person closest to them.
In L. Kuklin’s text, the narrator’s son parts with an album of rare stamps. The boy is touched by the story of a peer, a stranger, whose legs are paralyzed (sentences 32-34), and he, without hesitation, gives the patient a valuable collection.
I can give an example of compassion from life: one of the residents of our house prepares lunches on Saturdays at a homeless shelter not for money - out of compassion.
As long as this feeling lives in us, we can be called People.

Essay based on text S.A. Lubenets“(1) Nina has long existed in a state of enduring mental tension.”
Student's essay:
Self-doubt is a person’s state when he is afraid to do something or, conversely, does something incredibly stupid due to a lack of faith in himself. If in doubt own strength are constant, then a person often gives up what he wants and does not strive for his goal. Here are examples of manifestations of self-doubt.
In the text by S.A. Lubenets can call the girl Nina unsure. She has an inferiority complex due to the fact that she does not have a friend, like all her classmates. To change herself, Nina is trying to throw out of her life what used to bring her joy: girly magazines, cardboard dolls, hairpins, baubles, pendants and earrings. Then he even comes up with a “virtual boyfriend” to the envy of his girlfriends. But these external, rather than internal, changes are unlikely to help her overcome her insecurities.
The hero of V. Korolenko’s story “The Blind Musician” is also depressed, feels resentment, envy, despair, and feels inferior. Petrus is completely immersed in personal misfortune. But Evelina, his godfather, folk and classical music, and his own perseverance help him regain peace of mind. At the end of the work we see a confident, strong Peter.
A person suffering from self-doubt cannot make a decision himself and worries about what other people will say or think about him. But only those who believe in themselves and their capabilities achieve success in life.

Essay based on text I.L. Muravyova“(1) I close my eyes and see my alley.”
Student's essay:
Ideals are called life values, moral concepts, beliefs. They have an important influence on a person’s attitude towards the world around him and towards people, and serve as special guidelines in life. As a rule, values are formed thanks to parents and loved ones, under the influence kindergarten and schools. It is not words that have a special impact, but deeds and actions: examples are more useful than any instructions.
The most significant values are considered to be love, health, and family. This is exactly what the heroine of I. Muravyova’s text is convinced of when she remembers her childhood and her grandfather, who showed her true, sacrificial love: “How could I, six years old, know what it means to sit still and freeze in the name of love?” The old man froze on the street every day, being nearby and calming his six-year-old granddaughter with his presence.
Reading the story by A.S. Pushkin " Captain's daughter", we understand that close people are the most dear and beloved. Ivan Kuzmich, captain of the Belogorsk fortress, fatherly affectionate with the soldiers, a brave officer faithful to duty and oath, raised his daughter Masha obedient and modest. She is a worthy daughter of her parents: prudent and sensitive, devoted and determined, selfless and honest. The girl shows wisdom by refusing to marry Grinev without the blessing of his father. The heroine follows those life values which she absorbed into her family, that’s why she goes to the queen herself to save Peter, trusting in mercy and forgiveness.
Life values are an integral part of our inner world, we happily spend our time and energy on them. Everything must be done to ensure that these spiritual and moral values are close to and necessary for every person.

Essay based on text V. Chaplina“(1) One day in early spring they brought a wolverine to the zoo.”
Student's essay:
Maternal love is a sacred feeling that has enormous power and can work miracles, revive to life, save and protect. It is based on care and protection, affection and kindness.
In “Tales of Italy” M. Gorky said: “... without a Mother there is neither a poet nor a hero!” And the power of maternal love is such that on its way it is not afraid of the seas and mountains, forests and wild animals, and it is not afraid of the great ruler Timur, who shed rivers of blood. Struck by the brave words of the brave mother, the king orders to send messengers to all corners of the lands he conquered and find the son of this woman.
Animals, like humans, are endowed with the maternal instinct. V. Chaplin writes about this in his story about Wolverine. With the advent of her cubs, the wolverine mother “stopped yearning and yearning for freedom” and “growled in a special way” when they were in danger. She rushed to protect the little wolverines from the wolves, furiously rushed at them and did not let them near the children. And when the danger had passed, the wolverine began to lick the frightened babies, as if calming them down. She did everything necessary so that her offspring could survive and independently repel the dangers of the world around them.
Mother's love is always unselfish, natural and selfless. A mother teaches her child to know the world and moral rules, shows an example of responsible behavior and mercy. Whatever the child is, she will accept him as anyone and will do her best to save and protect him.

Essay based on text E. Shima“(1) The first post-war spring has come to Leningrad.”
Student's essay:
Strength of spirit is one of the qualities that makes a person persistent and unbending. This strength comes from will and perseverance. ABOUT courageous people they say that they are made of iron and do not bend or break.
Writer Eduard Shim also reflects on the manifestations of the fortitude of the residents besieged Leningrad: “...what wouldn’t you sacrifice for the sake of a little warmth, for the sake of a weak flame in the stove? But the huge old tree survived.” Spreading bird cherry trees not only decorated a quiet street, but also gave people hope, helped them endure cold and hunger and believe in victory and a quick spring.
In “The Tale of a Real Man” by B. Polevoy, the pilot Meresyev has extraordinary fortitude. Saving his life, doctors amputated both legs, depriving him of any hope of remaining in the profession. But the hero does not lose heart. Thanks to regular training, overcoming physical pain, he was able to regain his health and was allowed to fly again. The fortitude of this courageous man evokes sincere admiration!
Thus, fortitude helps to achieve life goals, overcome any difficulties and obstacles, and become independent and successful. Strong man knows what he wants and always gets it done.

Essay based on text T. Mikheeva“- (1) Mash, Mash, and we chose a new girl...”
Student's essay:
Mutual assistance is mutual assistance, supporting each other in Hard time. Throughout history, man has survived by showing solidarity and acting in concert. Even today we cannot live without mutual assistance.
Writer T. Mikheeva talks about the difficult situation that has developed around a new girl. The squad in the camp lived in anticipation of revenge: the guys nominated Alyonka for a beauty contest, refusing to help her, and waited for her to fail. The new girl was in the camp for the first time and did not understand that the main thing here was to do everything together, because “you can’t go anywhere without a squad.” It’s good that counselor Masha decided to help Alena. The desire to come to the rescue in the most difficult situation is a worthy act.
“One for all and all for one” is the famous motto of the three musketeers and the young Gascon d’Artagnan, who came to the capital to seek honor and glory. He alone would not have been able to cope with those who followed him in order to prevent him from carrying out the queen’s order. Athos, Porthos and Aramis are reliable and devoted comrades, ready to share everything they have. These four could sacrifice everything for each other - from their wallet to their lives.
As we can see, mutual assistance makes people’s lives easier and helps them cope with difficulties. Only together, together, can we solve any complex problems.

Essay based on text K. Osipova“(1) Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov came from a poor noble family.”
Student's essay:
What is self-education? This is the independent cultivation of one’s talents, learning something new, the ability to force oneself to achieve a goal through certain deprivations. Raising someone is not an easy task, but raising yourself is even more difficult. To do this you need to have perseverance and willpower.
Writer K. Osipov introduces us to the biography of Alexander Suvorov, a vivid historical figure, a brilliant commander who glorified Russian army. Few people know that his family was against it military career son. But the boy chose his own path, studied hard, read a lot, choosing “grains of useful knowledge” from everywhere. Being weak and sickly, Alexander subjected himself to severe hardening: he doused himself with cold water, did not put on warm underwear, and rode horseback in the pouring rain. Thanks to this, he was able to perfectly prepare himself for future military service.
Sanya Grigoriev, the hero of Veniamin Kaverin’s novel “Two Captains,” was also able to overcome his illness. He was mute from birth, having witnessed the death of his father, he could not tell his mother and the police about it. Only the advice of Doctor Ivan Ivanovich, who told him how to pronounce sounds, gave the boy confidence that he could speak. Sanya practiced every day and finally found the gift of speech.
Self-education is a very complex process: it depends on the person how much effort, time, and most importantly - perseverance is needed to achieve their goals. The path of self-education requires considerable sacrifices, which only people with strong character and endurance are willing to make, but the fruits of such labor and patience are very sweet.

Essay based on text Yu. Yakovleva"(1) The girl's name was Alice."
Student's essay:
What is moral choice? This is a choice between good and evil that a person makes not only at a fateful moment in his life, but also when his worries are everyday, ordinary. A person too often finds himself in a situation of choice. He has to give preference to some values and norms, rejecting others.
Yuri Yakovlev talks about the noble act of the young driver Nazarov, who saved the artist Sergeeva from the icy water. He didn’t even have time to get scared then, instantly making the only right decision. Unfortunately, it turned out that the artist no longer remembers that incident and could not provide temporary shelter to the driver and his sick father. The six-year-old girl Alisa managed to understand this difficult situation and found a way out to “save” Nazarov from shame and ingratitude. She didn’t know how her action would be perceived at home, “after all, when they rescue you, they don’t think for a long time, and once you’re in cold water!”
Literary heroes also have to choose, and these decisions are not easy for them. What will d’Artagnan, recently accepted into the guard, do when the musketeers are on the side of the king, and Cardinal Richelieu himself offers him friendship? The Gascon remembered the stern face of Athos: if he had agreed to an alliance with the cardinal, Athos would not have shaken hands with him, he would have renounced him. And d'Artagnan refuses to swear allegiance to the cardinal, knowing that from now on he will acquire a powerful enemy.
Moral choice is always associated with making a decision, with the preference of one option out of several possible ones. Shakespeare was right in emphasizing the extreme importance of such moments in life: “To be or not to be, that is the question...”

Essay based on text A. Likhanova“(1) An old two-story house with peeling plaster stood on the edge of the city.”
Student's essay:
Compassion is pity, participation, such a quality of the human soul that underlies mercy. It manifests itself in both words and deeds. People everywhere need love, empathy and kindness. A friendly, caring attitude towards another person, the ability to forgive and help is very important right now, when there is so much cruelty and indifference around.
We see an example of compassion for someone else's pain and loneliness in the text by A. Likhanov. Nikolai, who came to the city orphanage in search of his mother, cannot remain indifferent to the fate of abandoned babies left in the care of the state. Parents who abandon sick children act cruelly and heartlessly. And although some will be adopted later, connections with loved ones will be lost forever. There were many orphans in our country when the Great War ended. Patriotic War. Why don’t there be fewer of them in peacetime?
An acute feeling of pity arises when we turn to the pages of M. Sholokhov’s story “The Fate of a Man.” Lonely soldier Andrei Sokolov, who has lost his entire family, takes the orphan Vanyusha as his son, confessing to him that he is his real father. Having suffered the loss of loved ones, the experienced front-line soldier did not harden his soul or lose his sensitivity. He feels with all his aching heart someone else’s grief and does not submit to fate.
Compassion is the ability to perceive someone else’s pain as our own and the ability, without hesitation, to help not only family, friends and acquaintances, but also those we do not know. Compassion is shown in both words and deeds.

Essay based on text V. Astafieva“Geese in an ice hole” “(1) I have seen geese swimming among ice floes before.”
Student's essay:
Mercy is a person’s ability to be kind, caring, and responsive. You need to take an active part in the lives of other people, provide help unselfishly, without demanding anything in return. Only those who are able to sympathize can be truly merciful.
Let us turn to V. Astafiev’s story “Geese in the Polynya.” The hero, seeing a flock of birds caught in an icy trap, could not leave them to die and, together with his friends, tried to help them. He extended the board to the goose, lying on the fragile ice and risking falling into the cold water. Despite the danger, the boy waited for the moment when the mother goose and the entire flock behind her moved to the shore.
In “The Tale of Tsar Saltan...”, Prince Guidon, saving the beautiful swan, kills the predator. Before his eyes, the graceful bird turns into a beautiful princess. It turns out that he shot not a kite, but a sorcerer.
If a person is ready to help, if he can overcome his timidity or even fear to do this, if he is able to think in difficult times not about himself, but about others, then this is where real mercy is manifested.

Write an essay carefully, legible handwriting.
Essay based on text V.P. Kataeva“(1) I sat in front of the living Ivan Bunin, watching his hand as it slowly turned over the pages of my shared notebook...”
Student's essay:
“What a beauty!” - we exclaim, admiring nature. The world of beauty is around us. You just need to see it, notice the unusual in the most ordinary. This is exactly what Ivan Bunin says to the young poet, who despaired of finding new themes and rhymes for his poems. The advice is simple: “Be independent in art... And then the inexhaustible world of true poetry will open before you.” It turns out that the simplest things “can turn into a work of art.”
Humanity has the ability to create according to the laws of beauty. And beauty is always associated with feelings and experiences. Sometimes a person admires a beautiful object, but cannot explain why it is beautiful. It also happens that he does not notice the true beauty, which is hidden behind clumsiness and is not visible outwardly. And this is exactly what Nikolai Zabolotsky talks about in the poem “Ugly Girl.” However, the “grace of the soul” cannot be hidden; it will certainly manifest itself in a kind, courageous, selfless act. Surely, there will be those who can appreciate these qualities.
Human beauty is “a fire flickering in a vessel.” Like nature and art, it can make the world brighter, lighter and happier. Beauty is true perfection, a harmonious combination of qualities and properties of an object, this is what causes aesthetic pleasure.
Mercy is one of the most important qualities of a person; it means the desire to help someone who finds himself in a difficult life situation and needs help.
I believe that mercy in our time is a very important manifestation of the human soul because only mutual help and support helps us survive in this world. This wonderful quality needs to be developed in oneself from an early age. A person who is capable of a selfless act for the sake of another can be called merciful, despite the fact that the consequences of this act may negatively affect him.
Confirmation of my thought can be found in the text of V.P. Astafieva. The author-narrator, as a child, committed a merciful act when he overcame his fear and, despite the great risk to his own life, saved the geese, which were in serious danger.
We can find manifestations of mercy in Everyday life. We all know about the situation in Syria, about the difficult life of the Syrian people.
The Russian military shows mercy when they risk their lives to clear cities of bombs and unexploded ordnance.
Thus, mercy helps us to feel compassion for other people and a desire to help them.
