Pig under the oak sound recording. Subject. Expressive reading of I.A’s fable

Pig under the ancient oak

I ate my fill of acorns to satiety;

Having eaten, I slept under it;

Then, having cleared her eyes, she stood up

And she began to undermine the roots of the Oak tree with her snout.

“After all, this harms the tree,”

The raven says to her and Dubu:

“If you expose the roots, it may dry out.”

“Let it dry,” says the Pig:

“That doesn’t bother me at all;

I see little use in it;

Even if he doesn’t exist for a century, I won’t regret it at all,

If only there were acorns: they make me fat.”

"Ungrateful!" Oak said to her here:

“If only you could lift your snout up,

You should have seen

Why are these acorns growing on me?

The ignorant is also blinded

Scolds science and learning,

And that's it scientific works,

Without feeling that he is tasting their fruits.

Summary

The pig was grazing under a large oak tree. She liked the acorns falling from the tree. One day she began to dig up the roots of an oak tree. The raven who was sitting on the tree told her that this would harm the oak tree. However, the pig responded by saying that she didn't care. Then the oak tree accused the pig of not feeling grateful towards him. He tried to explain to the pig that the acorns that she loved so much grew on the tree. But the pig did not have the opportunity to look up and see that this was really the case. She stayed with own opinion and continued to harm the oak.

Fable Analysis

History of creation

The fable “The Pig under the Oak” was written by I. A. Krylov around 1823 and first published in the newspaper “Northern Bee” in 1825.

Meaning of the name

The title contains the central opposition of the fable. The pig symbolizes greed and ignorance, the oak symbolizes eternity and wisdom.

The main theme of the work

The main theme of the work is the condemnation of blind ignorance.

The Greedy Pig lives only for his own pleasure. Her the main objective- fill your stomach more. Having eaten the acorns that fell from the Oak and slept through it, the Pig wants to prolong the pleasure and begins to undermine the roots of the Oak. In her stupid head, the images of food and a mighty tree are in no way connected with each other.

A dirty, ignorant animal can cause the death of a giant. Oak invites the Pig to lift its snout and see for itself where it gets its food.

Issues

In the era of Krylov (as, indeed, at all times) there were many ignorant people who had a sharply negative attitude towards knowledge and science. They strongly condemned scientific progress, declaring it the source of all sorts of troubles.

According to the author, such ignoramuses resemble the ungrateful Pig from the fable. At the core negative attitude knowledge lies in simple laziness, the desire to live only for oneself, without caring about others. While blaming science, ignorant people at the same time are not at all embarrassed to enjoy all the benefits of scientific and technological progress.

The composition of the work is traditional for the fable genre: an allegorical main part and the final author's conclusion.

Morality

In simple and clear example Krylov shows that the “fruits” scientific knowledge Everyone, without exception, uses it to one degree or another. Only the stupidest and limited people don't understand this obvious fact. Unfortunately, there are many examples of how ignorant people with power became an obstacle to the development of science. Only if ignorance is completely eradicated will humanity be able to successfully continue its development.

Analysis of the fable The Pig under the Oak

Fabulist I.A. Krylov wrote his works in an accessible and in simple language and tried to teach from childhood the ability to appreciate and not act excessively rudely. Aesop was the first to exalt the genre, and many works were written in this language. IN different situations it was impossible to express one's point of view openly, so Aesopian language was an important component in this type works.

The fable “The Pig in the Oak Tree” is one of the instructive works, as a genre has its own history and biography. I.A. Krylov, already accustomed to writing about animals, ridicules, through comparison, human vices and shortcomings of life. As you know, two areas, vice and virtue, always compete in a person. In fables, he tries to express this in a humorous way in the faces of the characters. In many ways, the author uses the allegorical (allegorical) qualities of the characters, emphasizing their negative aspects as the main prototypes of life situations.

As the main character in this work stands pig, who “ate acorns,” “slept under an oak tree,” and remained ungrateful. The pig really portrays the image of its destiny, it treats the fertile breadwinner with cold blood, and tries to destroy the tree that makes it possible for it to exist. She affirmatively insists that the tree dry out and be destroyed. The animal is not able to see the benefit and appreciate what gives it help to survive, and this is how the display opens human essence, sometimes a person does not appreciate what he has.

The opposite character is crow who is trying to reason and teach a pig a lesson, but she cannot understand anything and is not able to accept it, and in life in many situations, a character appears who is able to teach a lesson and get rid of ignorance. The oak reflects its wisdom in this image smart person, who silently tries to teach the pig a lesson, to put him on the path of truth, thereby identifying morality and restoring justice. Oak insisted that she was ungrateful and did not appreciate his concern.

“If only you could lift your snout up,
You should have seen
Why are these acorns growing on me?”
This is how the moral of the work sounds through the mouth of the tree. The important point in the fable is that sometimes some people don't appreciate everything. given by nature and distort its natural functions. Therefore, the denunciation of vices is reflected mainly in ignorance and selfishness.
“The ignoramus is so blinded
Scolds science and learning."

The pig ate acorns and went to sleep under the oak tree. When I woke up I started digging the roots of the oak tree. And the pig does not understand that acorns grow on oak trees.

  • Pig is a fool

DURING THE CLASSES

I. Organization of the beginning of the lesson.

II. Checking homework.

III. Learning new material.

  1. Methodological commentary. Fable by I.A. Krylov’s “Pig under the Oak” is a work that, perhaps, to a greater extent than others, will allow students to fully reveal the facets of their performing skills. And since the speech score of this fable includes more complex elements, That prerequisite The expressive reading lesson deepens the knowledge of 6th graders on the theory of expressive reading.
    In 5th grade, students received general idea about the concepts of “pause” and “stress” and developed the primary skills of composing speech scores (See: “Integrated course. Literature (Russian and world): Book for teachers. 5th grade / Compiled by S.E. Evtushenko, T.I. Korvel, A.S. Onikienko, N.N. Pokatova, L.M. Sipko. - K.: Gramota, 2013 (P. 94-95).
    In 6th grade, students should learn that pauses can be logical and psychological. Logical a pause, indicated in a speech score by a vertical dash, can be short (|) or long (||). Its duration depends on the logic of division of the text. For example, at the place of a comma, the pause is usually short, but a dash and a period require a longer pause for the reader while performing the work aloud.
    But there is more complex look pauses - psychological. (In a speech score, a psychological pause is usually denoted by \/). It occurs much less frequently in exceptional cases: for example, when you need to focus on next word, simulate recall or retrieval the right word, emphasize emotional stress, fright, surprise, reticence, deliberate silence, sudden stop in speech, etc. Such a pause can be anywhere: between phrases, in the middle of a measure, at the place of dividing marks, and where there are none.
    The main thing that 6th graders should remember (and write down in their notebooks) are the two main functions of the psycho logical pause:
    • focus the listeners' attention on the words just spoken, giving them the opportunity to feel what they heard
      or
    • psychologically prepare listeners to perceive what will sound now, as if warning them about the importance of the following information.
    During a logical pause, the reader simply makes a short stop in speech, thus dividing the sentence into separate bars. This pause is called passive. But a psychological pause is not just a stop, it is “silence with meaning.” Such a pause is called active, emotional, and therefore the reader must be able to “play” it. The great master of stage training K.S. Stanislavsky said that during a psychological pause the actor must feel especially deeply what he is talking about; he must penetrate into the thoughts and feelings of the author, comprehending the ideological and emotional meaning both the specific spoken phrase and the entire text. Consequently, he needs not just to remain silent, but to actively “live” this stop in speech. After all, a psychological pause is closely related to the subtext of the work - that is, its internal essence, which does not always lie on the surface.
    Logical pauses are familiar to every speaker and, if the reader correctly understands the content of the sentences he pronounces, they are quite easily reproduced. Psychological pauses require special training. That is why, before reading any text to listeners, the performer must, first of all, carefully work on its general, deep meaning. We can say this: the reader must first understand WHAT he wants to convey to the listeners with his reading, and only then look for ways HOW he will do it.
  2. Teacher's opening remarks:“How to read a fable correctly.”
    If we talk about expressive reading of fables, then it would be more accurate to say not “expressive reading,” but “expressive storytelling.” As contemporaries of the great Russian fabulist I.A. testify. Krylov, he read his fables in such a tone, in such a simple-minded and natural manner that his reading could be mistaken for the continuation of an everyday conversation.
    That is, the basis for reading a fable is the principle of a lively and natural narrative, which includes the same lively and natural reproduction of the characters’ lines. It should be remembered that live speech is replete with shades, and therefore the reader must convey not only the main content of the fable, but also all the diversity of its logical and emotional content.
    The author's text, which precedes the development of events, is read in a narrative and informative manner, preparing listeners to perceive the main events. But it is not always necessary to pronounce all the author’s words in a “neutral” tone. For example, the author’s comments on the negative actions of the characters should be read with irony, as if “appropriating” the author’s text, presenting it as “your” story about real events and their participants.
    Reading cues requires special skill. After all, each character in the fable embodies a certain type of people. You'll need it here developed imagination reader about individual characteristics the character’s character, his manner of behavior, as well as the ability to change the pitch of his voice, its strength, and tempo. But the reader should not get too carried away with “reincarnation” of animals as the heroes of the fable, because the main direction of the work is the revelation of people’s vices, which the author carries out through allegory and comic elements.
    The moral of the fable is pronounced more slowly, instructively, in the form of a reasoning. This is either a reminder of a known truth, or advice wise man, or ironic criticism of some action. Before and after the moral, it is imperative to make tangible pauses (usually psychological) in order to attract the attention of listeners to the conclusion that the author embodied in the moral.
    Fables, in which the direct speech of the characters plays an important role, allow you to attract an element of dramatization to the reading. At the end of the lesson we will try to read the fable “The Pig under the Oak” with roles. But we must not forget that the perfect execution of the entire work by one reader is, as a rule, a more difficult task. Therefore, in expressive reading lessons, we will give preference to monologue reading, because it is precisely this that requires students to work more conscientiously on the quality of their voice, on intonation, and on the emotionality of reading.
  3. Listening to the reading of the fable “The Pig under the Oak” by a professional reader.

  4. Ideological and thematic analysis of the fable. Decoding the allegory.
    In the fable “The Pig under the Oak,” Krylov, through the technique of allegory, exposes and ridicules human stupidity and ignorance, which are worthy of universal condemnation. He denounces ignoramuses who are incapable of analyzing cause-and-effect relationships in life events and phenomena, and most importantly, ridicules their complete reluctance to look for this connection at all. To realize his plan, the fabulist very successfully chose the image of the Pig. First of all, based on the folklore interpretation of the image of the Pig (proverbs, sayings, fairy tales), we can argue that we often associate the pig with laziness, gluttony, and ignorance. Krylov clearly emphasized that the pig loves acorns very much, and that it can dig the ground with its snout even for no apparent reason - just for pleasure. And based on physiological characteristics this animal, we know that the pig, due to its special body structure, is indeed not capable of raising its head high up. The raven in the fable represents ordinary person, who, rather, is not indignant at the Pig’s behavior, but is naively surprised by it. A an old oak, which from the point of view of the Pig is simply a plant not worthy of its attention, is the embodiment age-old wisdom, everyday truth.
  5. Work on the speech score of the fable. Commentary by the teacher on logical, psychological pauses, phrasal and logical stresses (that is, words underlined by one or two lines).

  6. Detailed tips for expressive reading of fables.
    So, we read the fable this way. We pronounce the exposition (the first 4 lines) slowly, with narrative intonation, but we must take into account that such a seemingly relaxed nature of speech should not be devoid of the necessary emotionality. The reader’s task is determined in two directions: to verbally describe the Pig and at the same time, with a tone of voice, to emphasize the author’s attitude towards her. And it is clearly formed from the very first lines of the work: this is disdain for those whose meaning in life comes down to two life pleasures - eating and sleeping. Important role successfully selected by the author plays a role in the formation of the necessary emotions expressive vocabulary: I ate “to my fill”, but didn’t open my eyes, but “teared my face.”
    At the end of the fourth line, a psychological pause would be appropriate - it prepares us for the plot, concentrated in the fifth line. We try not to remain silent during the psychological pause, but to play it: even before the fifth line is uttered, the reader’s facial expression should tell the listeners that he is about to report some disgusting action of a character in the work.
    In voicing the plot, the peak of emotionality falls on the word “snout”: we pronounce it with clearly emphasized disgust. Before direct speech, we pause a little longer than usual. Raven’s words should be said not so much with instruction, but with surprise at the Pig’s senseless act. The author's text (“The Raven speaks to her from Dubu”) should sound somewhat quieter and with a lower timbre of the voice.
    Before the Pig’s response to the Raven’s remarks, we again take a psychological pause: after all, a climax is brewing in the work, and we must attract listeners to it. When reading this part of the fable, the performer will need extraordinary skill, since it is here that the main topic works: a depiction of stupidity, utter stupidity and ignorance, which are also combined with arrogant self-confidence. The words “Let it dry” must be pronounced with exorbitant, hypertrophied narcissism, as people say - with pouting lips. We pronounce the author’s remark more quietly (“the Pig speaks”), and the next four lines are like an ambitious teaching in the “pig worldly wisdom": live only for your own pleasure. Logical stress we do it on the word “acorn”, and stretch the word “fat” a little (“fat-re-e-yu”) and voice it with maximum pleasure and outright boastfulness.
    Oak's words contain the denouement of the work. They should be read judiciously, with a touch of teaching, but be sure to leave a subtle note of disgust, which will be accentuated by the word “snout”. When pronouncing Oak’s line, the reader must add expressive facial expressions and gestures to the sound embodiment of the work’s thoughts.
    Before voicing the moral of the fable, we take a psychological break. By facial expression we prepare listeners to pronounce the highest worldly wisdom. The moral itself is traditionally pronounced in a serious tone - as a result, general conclusion from the described situation, which transfers the understanding of the plot from the allegorical to the universal or even philosophical plane.

    Note. Students should know that performance work of art allows for an element of individual interpretation. Therefore, there may be certain discrepancies in the speech scores of different readers. However, beginning readers should follow the teacher's advice as much as possible.
    The speech score of the fable “The Pig under the Oak” proposed here is the basis for working with the text of the fable. Options for marking individual bars can be as follows: “let it dry”, “it doesn’t bother me at all”, “after all, they make me fat”, “what does he eat | their fruits."

  7. Reading a fable by students.(First – individual, then – in individuals).
    Before the expressive reading lesson, students must do a short warm-up speech apparatus. An approximate list of warm-up exercises was given in the manual mentioned above (pp. 101-102).
