Gorky's childhood story

When Alesha was three years old, he lost his father, and his mother put him in foster care with his grandfather. When Aletha came to his grandfather's house, his grandfather's business had begun to decline. Aletha's two uncles kept quarreling and fighting to separate and embezzle Aletha's mother's dowry. Due to the depressed real estate, his grandfather became more and more bossy and irritable. One day, out of curiosity, alessa threw a white tablecloth into the dye vat and dyed it blue. I was beaten unconscious by my grandfather. Alisha's mother couldn't stand such a life, so she left him and the family. Alisha's grandmother loves him the most, but her grandfather doesn't love others. He always finds fault with others and punishes them.

Later, my grandfather moved, and one morning my mother suddenly came back. At first, she taught alessa to read, but the torture of life gradually made her careless and often lost her temper. Later, my mother remarried, and her married life was unsatisfactory, and she was often beaten by her husband. Due to disagreement with her stepfather, Aletha returned to her grandpa's house, and grandpa went bankrupt completely! Their lives are getting harder and harder. In order to make a living, Aletha collects and sells junk after school with other children. At the same time, I also felt friendship and sympathy. He finished the third grade with honors and left the classroom of the school forever. At this time, Alisha's mother died. After he buried his mother, he soon went to the "human world" to make a living.

3. The influence of the work

Childhood is a unique autobiography. Different from most autobiographies, it doesn't take heroes as images to create portraits. It is more like a long and colorful oil painting, which restores a period of life of an era and a family. In this life, there have been many protagonists. Both beauty and ugliness stand in front of readers at the same time, impacting their hearts. Childhood, with its unique artistic form, profound ideological content and unique artistic characteristics, occupies an important position in the history of Russian and Soviet literature and even the world literature, and has unparalleled artistic value.
