(109 words) Strength of the spirit is the virtue of a person, thanks to which he manages to endure even the most terrible events in life.
The text of Aitmatov tells the story of a woman who suffered the death of her husband in the war. At the same time, she is trying to share her strength of mind with her son, presenting him with the death of her father as the heroic feat that the country needed.
The horror of the war and the heroines of B. Vasiliev’s short story “But Dawns Here Are Quiet” also persistently endure. Despite the fact that in their life, in addition, personal dramas take place, they are ready to die in the name of the Motherland. It was the indomitable fortitude that helped our people to survive in the global struggle against Nazism.
Thus, fortitude is a quality that helps to cope adequately with the difficult moments of life.
Example from the movie: In Sergei Bondarchuk’s film “They Fought for Their Homeland,” the hero Nikolai Streltsov, after receiving a concussion, was deaf and went to the hospital. But there, a sense of duty does not leave him, so he decides to escape and return to the front. His fortitude allowed his conscience to drown out even the instinct of self-preservation.
Media example: The teacher of the Perm school during the armed attack to the last tried to remain conscious to help the children. Moreover, she had 17 stab wounds. But fear for her students and incredible fortitude helped her save other people's lives.
Example from personal life: Once, a friend of mine saw teenagers trying to drown adult kittens. He went alone, and there were many, but this fact did not stop him. In an attempt to persuade them not to do this to them, he realized that conversations were futile. Then he began to threaten that he would call the police father. The guys gave him the kittens, frightened of punishment, and in response to the reproaches of his mother, who found out what had happened, he simply said: “I could not have done otherwise.”
