Jack London's stories are specific, they carry the charge of ineradicable faith in a person.
Story - children
Why did the American writer choose the mainthe character of his story is not the strongest physically and not the most educated hunter, but a teenage boy? Moreover, the events expounded by him are cut off from the spirit of the times, they refer to hoary antiquity. At that time, the whole life of the Eskimos was determined by tribal relations. Jack London, a writer by vocation and a socialist by conviction, pushed the idea of social justice to create a plot. The story of the boy’s mind, courage, and kindness is contained in our brief retelling. "The Tale of Kish" introduces the reader to the difficult life of the Canadian Eskimos.
Scene
The tribe lives off the Canadian coast of the harsh Arctic Ocean, beyond the Arctic Circle.
Feat hunter Boca father of Kish
The young man Kish is proud of his father, who wasthe best hunter and died a glorious death, worthy to be remembered by future generations of the same tribe. During his life, he hunted for two, and when the prey was divided between tribesmen, the Bok watched, so that the old and the weak would remain not deprived. This man had a big heart. When hard times came and the best hunters of the tribe returned from the hunt with nothing, and the old men, children and women seemed to have completely lost hope, he decided on a brave deed. The tribe, suffering from hunger, was in dire need of food. And the selfless hunter ventured to combat the thunder of the snow tundra - the bear.
Охота получилась весьма драматичной, как shows her brief retelling. “The Tale of Kish” tells us the story of the feat of a man exhausted by hunger, who clashed in a deadly duel with a mighty beast. Verna was the hand of Boca, he managed to strike him a decisive blow with his faithful spear. However, the strength of the tundra master far exceeded the human one. He even had the last strength to crush Boca and take his life.
Thanks to the dedication of his best hunter, the tribe then survived ...
Unfair section of provisions
The fate of the family was not easythe deceased: the widows of Aikigi and son Kish. In the hearts of their fellow tribesmen, the tares of self-interest and selfishness sprouted: the hunters of the tribe, after the death of Boca, forgot about the fair and equal division of prey and giving everyone enough meat.
A congenital mind and a rare ability even for its adult tribesmen to speak distinguished a 13-year-old.
Kish's bold speech before the tribe
One evening, when in the largest needle,owned by the leader, the tribe gathered for a council, all of a sudden, Kish took the floor. His performance was bold to recklessness. He spoke out against the greed of adult male hunters, being in the minority (the other tribesmen were obviously afraid). At first, the boy reminded the high-minded hunters of the exploits of his father. Then he formulated the main idea of his speech: families that have lost a hunter-breadwinner, also deserve good chunks of meat, not bones, when dividing their prey. According to Kish, it was not the conscience of the experienced hunter Ug-Gluk and the most powerful man of the Massuk tribe.
The fact that the guy after these words almostkicked out of the council, tells "The Legend of Kish." The summary of the work contains a scene when mercenary hunters Ug-Gluk and Massuk tried to embarrass the boy with angry cries, and to convince the present tribesmen that he did not have an advisory vote.
The young hunter goes to the tundra
But Kish, to their surprise, was not afraid of them, onproving to be a "hard nut". He is quite worthy and not childly answered them. His words surprised the men with a firm faith in themselves and, again, with unchild principle. He obviously expected the support of deprived and starving tribesmen. But they were silently frightened. Then Kish had to go for broke. A thirteen-year-old boy openly opposed himself to the strong right of the tribe, when the best pieces were given to strong men, and the widows and old people remained hungry and promised to change them. How did it sound?
He recalled the fair sharing of his prey.Father Bock, in the past, the best hunter of the tribe, whose feat begets the story "The Tale of Kish." The summary of his speech can be described as a statement of a fundamentally different society.
Then, at a tribal meeting, the boy's wordsno one took seriously. Following him, coming out of the needle of the leader, there was ridicule. But his words turned out to be not the child's quick temper: the next day, Kish, armed with his father’s hunting gear, himself went hunting in the direction where the ocean ice merged with the land covered with snow. Not stopped him, and unexpectedly low temperature.
Son proved worthy of his father
On the third day of his absence, broke outferocious storm. Hope that the guy will survive, almost did not remain. And on the morning of the third day he appeared in the village, when the hunters of the tribe were going to go after his corpse, and his desperate mother Aikiga, in anticipation of the loss, tore her hair and smeared her face with soot.
Эффект неожиданного действа сполна использовал The author of the story is Jack London ("The Tale of Kish"). A brief retelling of the work reflects the main aspect of this event. Kish returned from the tundra with loot (he carried on his shoulder a weighty piece carved from the carcass of the bear he had killed). He triumphed because he was a worthy successor to his father. The bear killed by them on a hunt with two bear cubs was a prey of a highly complex, which was only an outstanding master of hunting on the shoulder. After all, a nursing bear attacks anyone who has wandered into her possession with incredible cruelty.
The chief earner of the tribe
Turning to the men of the tribe, the teenager reportedthat they can bring his hunting trophy to the village carcasses if they go with his sledges along with the sleds. So the hunters of the tribe were confounded by the boy, who provided all the tribesmen with bear meat in abundance. They were perplexed, because such a hunt was not on their shoulders. For fellow tribesmen, an ordinary boy suddenly became mysterious, mysterious.
A brief retelling of the story "The Tale of Kish"confirms the seriousness of the intentions of the protagonist, expressed earlier on the advice to the Cloche-Quan needle. He argued his case with new hunting successes. The hunters openly envied the boy, who became the real breadwinner for his tribe. Evil tongues (and among them the first - Ug-Gluk) openly accused the young hunter of witchcraft. But their machinations were destroyed by the opinion of other tribesmen Kish. Indeed, thanks to him, everyone, even widows and old people, were now full. Following the bear's prey, the young men first became a young bear, and then the bear is really huge.
New Housing
Once young, but already recognized as the best hunterdeclared to the leader that he wanted to build a new spacious house (igloo) for himself and his mother. Having received a formal "good", Kish did not stop there. He knew his own worth, and therefore, by right, the chief earner of the tribe demanded that his fellow tribesmen build a new needle. It really made sense, because the hunt demanded from the boy full dedication, and, being in the village, he had to recuperate. But now his mother, who lives in the most spacious igloo of the tribe, has become the most respected woman. Her self-esteem rose, women began to consult with her.
Eskimo fears
The story is really mysterious.How to measure the power of a bear and a teenage boy? The readers of the story are intrigued, and soon D. London tells them this secret (“The Tale of Kish”). A brief retelling of the work tells us about the secret advice of hunters. Ug-Gluk continued to insist that the young lucky man used witchcraft and insisted that he secretly send after Kish, when he went on the hunt, the spies of the best hunters of the tribe. After a stormy debate with the old hunter, they nevertheless agreed. Keeping an eye on Kish was committed to the skillful hunters of Boun and Beam. They should have followed the boy, but not caught his eye.
Краткий пересказ сказки «Сказание о Кише» на this stage should not be limited to a dry statement of plot events, it should sound assessed to the heroes. The fact is that in this work there is a conflict, but there are no negative characters. In his understanding of the Eskimos, the boy’s amazing success borders on a miracle. No wonder cautious Ug-Gluk organizes surveillance of Kish. This is fully consistent with the views of the Eskimos on the world around them. They are convinced that witchcraft is a sin that can bring misfortune upon all the tribe. It is unacceptable. Convincing in his logic of the story, Jack London (“The Tale of Kish”). The summary of the story further contains a convincing explanation of the boy’s victories over huge bears, indicating his main asset - a sharp mind.
Unusual hunting Kish. View from the outside
Охотники Бим и Боун действительно пошли spies following the breadwinner of the tribe. They followed him like a shadow, and followed the way he struck the bear. His hunt seemed strange and mysterious to them. Returning to the village, they hurried to talk about what they saw.
From afar, Bim Bone was noticed as having metKishu bear did not pay any attention to him and followed his own path. However, the boy provoked him with loud cries and harassment. The predator rushed after him. Here Kishu needed all his agility and speed. However, the young hunter did not just hide in all his shoulder blades. On the way of the bear, he sometimes threw small light balls, and he immediately ate them during the chase.
Но зверю не было суждено настичь мальчика.Soon he howled in pain. Obviously, these balls turned out to be fatal for him ... The bear weakened before our eyes, falling behind Kish. Soon he turned back, then his tracks became confused ... The weakened giant began to howl in pain and roll on the ground helplessly. Then he was overtaken by the verified death blow of Kish ...
Instead of concluding
The end of the story is somewhat reminiscent of the final scene of Gogol's "Inspector" - universal amazement. The summary of the story "The Tale of Kish" in detail shows the outcome of the plot.
From the story of Bima and Bouna, the Eskimos concluded that they were dealing with a sorcerer.
But soon they had to change their mind.When a crowd of hunters led by the leader broke into Kish's needle, he ate. He greeted the newcomers, and he seated the guests according to seniority. Then the leader announced to the boy that he was accused of witchcraft and demanded an explanation.
Краткое содержание рассказа «Сказание о Кише» originally describes the boy’s response. He clearly showed them his know-how in bear hunting. Initially, Kish cut off a piece of whalebone and showed the audience its elasticity and sharpness. Then he took a piece of it and turned it into a ring. Then the boy put the whaleen mustache in a small earthen hole and filled it with seal fat. It was a ball, a simple device that first melted in the bear's esophagus and then hit it.
After such a revelation the tribesmen becamerespect Kish even more. When his time came, he replaced the head of the Klosh-Kwan tribe. Thanks to his intelligence, justice and wisdom, his fellow tribesmen not only respected him, but also loved him. Hundreds of years later, his name is remembered by subsequent generations of Canadian Eskimos.
