Ivan Andreevich Krylov is a man whose works became familiar to us in childhood, because more than one generation was brought up on them. Due to the deep semantic load, the rhymed stories of Krylov over several decades
included in the school curriculum of literature lessons, as they describe the basic life concepts of bad and good deeds, as well as discuss conflict situations that occur in the relationships of people. Krylov’s fable “Dragonfly and Ant” is very instructive for children from elementary school. Let's look at the moral component of this work and the algorithm for the impact of uncomplicated rhymes on the children's subconscious.
Krylov’s fable “Dragonfly and the Ant” - a subtle psychologism of the work
This work is included in the curriculum for children of grade 3-4. Thanks to the form of presentation, which is sufficiently accessible for children's perception, the fable is easily remembered, and is also immediately perceived by the child as an instructive story. "Dragonfly and ant" - Krylov's fable, which is deposited in the memory of people for the rest of their lives.
Each of us will be able to easily reproduce the first quatrain of this work without even thinking: why do we remember it for not just several years, but whole decades? It is all a matter of subtle psychologism, which was endowed by one of his best fables, the world famous Russian fabulist.
"Dragonfly and ant" - the urge to take the right action
Krylov’s fable “Dragonfly and Ant” on the example of two insects shows how valuable each minute of time is and how important it is to prepare in advance for significant events in life, for example, the arrival of winter. The psyche of children perceives everything literally, therefore, Ivan Andreevich outlined the moral of each fable with the most understandable speech turns. Despite this, the task of the teacher is to sort out with the students the essence of what Krylov wanted to convey in his rhymed stories. Dragonfly and Ant, the text of which has now spread across the world with a circulation of several billion, teaches children not to be careless and to firmly know the scope reserved for leisure. With the help of indirect influence on the subconscious, the moral of the fable can induce a small person to reconsider his daily routine, learn how to plan homework, which will further positively affect his level of concentration in relation to work.
Krylov’s fable “Dragonfly and Ant” shows that for every thoughtless action in life you can pay a rather high price and warns the child from mistakes.
