DOMINO

History of creation

The book "Domino" (also called "Biography of a black-brown fox, or Domino Renard, from the town of Goldur2) written in 1909 by Lis Renard, or Reinecke (French Renard), is a famous hero of French folklore, who has become a traditional character of the rich European translations (German, English, Dutch etc.). This figure in our folk creativity is allegorical. The meaning of “strong in mind”, “cunningly wise”, “conspirator” was assigned to him. Seton-Thompson created the image of a real fox in a real middle-class creature. I dedicate “Domino” to “Tia, to whom I first spoke about the faith, Anya Seton.” The daughter of a scribe, who at that hour received 5 fates. The image of the girl that the fox was able to tame and twist conveys the idea of a peaceful union between people and nature.

Comments

“Domino” was conceived by the author as a low-level story, which was created as a legacy of E. Seton-Thompson’s troubling concern for the lives of creatures in Canada and the USA. The values of a naturalist, artistic enhancements. The story is complex behind its everyday life, but it can no longer be called an acknowledgment, because in the new life, besides Domino, there are many other characters, and each of them has its own life story. The creation had many descriptions of nature, author’s thoughts, and comments. Significantly loose (consistent with the evidence) lies in the system of tension, stretching during the hour. However, the series “Domino” can be called an animalistic story, which tells about the life of a black-brown fox in a natural environment.

The world of living and inanimate nature has one goal: animals, rivers, trees, stones - all at the same time living peacefully to the quiet song of an aspen. They know what the Wildlife Conservation Authority is protecting them. However, at the most dramatic moment of the chase, Domino learns that there is more behind the invisible Patron and knows the order at the good girl’s home. The author believes in the goodness of nature, and in the fact that people are inherently good.

The beauty of words

Having made a black-brown fox the main character in his work “Domino”, the writer gradually reveals his image. From the beginning, the artist earns the respect of the readers on the foreign rice of the fox: black smoka across the squeak, like a masquerade mask of a domino. Over the years, the author gradually adds new touches and details, revealing these changes that were seen in the image of the fox both in his name and in his character. In his actions, such traits as goodwill, courage, flamboyance, devotion to change in the image of a hero appeared, which last for a significant period of time, are called the dynamics of the image (or the evolution of the image). This is yet another indication that the work is not known, but goes up to the average or great variety of creation, in this case - the story.

For discussion

Why did E. Seton-Thompson call nature the “Book of Wisdom”?

Completely agreeable with the previous reviewer. The book is naturalistic and tender. And for lovers of creatures, it’s just a discovery, because you always want to learn something new from the world of animals, their offspring, their offspring, and their birth, not only from their relatives, but from people.

This book has two stories from the lives of creatures and humans, and in both, humans appear not on the bright side. Sometimes even the cruel and cold-blooded aspects of humans are described.

First story about the fox Domino I still dared to read to the children. There, human cruelty is not as massive as in other stories about Jack Rabbit.

I’ll try to briefly summarize the essence of the discovery. Apparently this family of foxes gave birth to cubs. All the stench was very sweet, but one of them was distinguished by a special compulsiveness, affinity and intoxication. That's Domino "the ruler of history." Unfortunately, not everyone was destined to be vile, because the farmer's blue cottontails swelled the fox's hole at once with fox cubs, which the foxes could not drag into another hole. Ale Domino grew up and became a red-faced black-brown fox, whose size, beauty and intelligence overwhelmed all the ears around him. There is a new enemy - the dog Hekla - a zhorstok, a strong creature. The fox suffered a lot as a result of her gluttony, but Domino was always in trouble. People spent hours rounding up foxes because they stole chickens and other birds from them. It never occurred to him that the stinkers had their farms on the territory of these fox families. There were a lot of chases, raids and dangers that led to Domino and his family, in the fight against human cruelty. I managed to overcome the beast Hekla, and respect the people!

For another story, I decided to check it out for now. No one has a lot of cruel moments. Moreover, the zhorstok are against the rich creatures. Once upon a time there lived rabbits. Then people came and began to blame the small birds (owls, hawks), because they were dragging the bird. Tim themselves gave the rabbits the opportunity to reproduce. There was absolutely no control over them, and the stench began to overwhelm the raids on the poor creatures. Moreover, it was not only men who took part in the raids, but also children and women. Having raised thousands of rabbits, people selected the strongest and most powerful (in their opinion) and began to control dog runs, where the unfortunate rabbits served as bait. Among these “lucky ones”, who were not immediately blamed, but were “given a chance”, a very hot, drawn and wiry rabbit, Jack Boyovy Konik, appeared. Almost all the rabbits of his “batch” died in a nervous and fierce battle for life, but Jack was always praised for his quickness and strong character. Ale zreshtoy yogo was told by the people, who already liked the good and rich rabbit.

The book was written by my wise and wise woman. The story is not only challenging for adults, but also for children. All great credit goes to the author Ernest Seton-Thompson, and the translation by M. Chukovsky. I read it literally in just a few minutes, I wanted to get a lot of content out of the book.

The brush is opaque. Such a small, quiet format, a hard, smooth cover, a thick white offset papier of the sides, a clear, large font, a small number of lower “live” illustrations by Svetlana Omelyanova. In addition to illustrations, the book is decorated with long lines along the top of the skin - the skin has its own history.

We are very pleased with the book and look forward to the arrival of the book in the series “Reading from Satisfaction.” We suspect that the smell will be as old as new.

Near the pine forest of the Golder Mountains, on a high hill, lived the homeland of foxes: father, mother, and seven foxes. The father fox ate, and the mother fox buried the family's nest and her little children. During the day, the children were empty and their holes were empty, and their mother taught them the wisdom of life. The most popular and the most visible was a fox with a black face on its face named Domino. These games were carefully monitored so as not to spite the Albert Jukes family. So everything went wrong, as if it were not Albert Hekla’s puppy, as the fox yelped at his loud barks. Having decided that the children were in despair, the mother fox, having revealed all her cunning, led the duck out of the hole. At this hour she was not thinking to herself, but only about the little children. For the smart and smiling Domino, this was the first fear in his life.

Days without turbos for children have passed. Domino is growing more and more black. It's a dark day in my life. The father was named by Benton's children, who farmed chickens. The fox smelled the stench and tried to pull the fox cubs out of their holes, but they couldn’t get away with it. In order to kill the family, the fox spent the entire night digging a new hole and began carrying the cubs to the nest. Domino suffered first, then sister and brother. Rashta did not catch up. The boys turned and planted a stone in the open air, where it looked like a hole. The foxes died.

For two nights the foxes dug up the earth, trying to steal the children, ale marno. On the third night, she washed the earth into a hole. Vona could not believe the death of the children. Alya had a chance. There was no grief between.

Life was going well for the new fox hut. The children grew up, and Domino's face became darker and darker. The fathers learned to love them and get their own food.

But in the course of my life, trouble struck again. The fox grabbed the dog's paw, and then the fox didn't turn back from the meadow.

Sister Domino and Vin himself had already become adults, and went with their mother far to the clearing. And the black-haired fox Domino began to taunt both his sister and his mother. Axis and starting Domino his life as a fox one by one.

Living independently, Domino has learned a lot, both the tricks of watering and the wisdom of self-defense. Before winter, he became a food animal with a rich farm of the black-brown fox. Hekla and Hekla grew up, transforming into a great dog. Drawing closer to her, Domina quickly lost his enemy.

Domino meets the fox Belorudka, who has captured her from her rival. The smells from Belogrudka began a new life, dug a hole, into which five fox cubs were born. Domino brought the hedgehog and buried the belly. Bilya nori fell into a peaceful world. When the fox cubs grew up, the stench from the White chest began to teach them the wisdom of fox life.

Domino's two girls are caught in traps, but it's up to you to get out of them and learn lessons about how not to get caught there. The foxes have grown up and have already begun to feed on their own, they are moving away from their fathers, and soon they have begun to lead a comfortable life.

Domino becomes a witness as Hekla attacks a succession of sheep and sprat. This is how animals began to disappear from many farms. The farmers thought that there was a fox on the right hand and began to prepare a round-up of them with dogs.

During the raid, Bilogrudka is captured, and Domino, who leads the dogs and outsmarts them, is killed.

Then the dogs kept chasing and chasing the fox until they were exhausted, and then they started kicking around the little girl who wanted to buy a turkey. Domino fell to the girl’s feet, begging for mercy, and she punished him, taking him to his house. Ale myslyvtsy began to pour, so that the girl’s father would give them the fox. They decided to let him out safely and start loving again.

Domino was released. The dogs rushed after Hekla. The chase reached the river. Domino cut one krizhina, and Hekla cut another krizhina. Abner Jukes was on guard for this, preventing one of the Myslyvs from shooting the fox. Abner realizes that Hekla and Domino will die. The Krizhins sank to the waterfall, but in the remaining fortress of Domino, they cut off the Krizhina for the advance and, along the Krizhins, climbed to the shore. We have lost our lives and are alive. The river was screaming. Hekla died.

And so the story about courage and the fight to overcome all evils, about humanity and the inhumanity of people ended. These are the laws of nature. The message is to be a people person, to love nature and to be a citizen.

"Domino" short film

The activity takes place behind the Golder Mountains near a pine forest, not far from the Shoban River. The black-brown fox, Domino, is hanging around there. His main enemy is the Mysli dog Hekla, who belongs to the Dzhuks family and the famous foxes from childhood.

At the end of winter, Domino knows his friend - Belogrudka. The spring Dominos, kidnapping their offspring from Hekli, perform a deceptive maneuver and fly from the rocks and neither spring nor summer can water. However, Domino gets caught in a trap and injures his paw, and then goes away in the fall.

People tend to hate Domino because... There was a suspicion that Hekla was truly the villain by slaughtering their sheep.

On the cob of the game I took the trace of the White breast, which was looking at another offspring, aka Domino, having dug through the dogs and breeding their friends.

Having escaped from one game, Domino swoops down on another, then Hekla comes for reinforcements, the fox runs to the river and is caught on the krizhina, Hekla follows him. Ahead of the current there is a waterfall and the fox has gathered all his strength and is pushing towards the shore, the dog is near the water.

PART OF PERCH. GOLDEN CHILD

1. RIDNY BOOTH

The sun fell over the Golder Mountains, and the gentle days that all creatures loved so much spilled over the sea of hills and plains. The sun had set, and the small valleys were filled with rainfall and reduced shade. High on the hill, not far from the Shoban River, green pine forest. It was good and calm here during the day. In the middle of this mountain lived the homeland of foxes.

The entrance to the hole was moved to the junction. At this hour the whole family went out to have fun and enjoyed the evening cold.

Mother took care of the children. She was very diligent in encouraging the outdoor fun. The fluffy little ones played in the absence of turbos and began to live peacefully for those whose greatest strength is their mother, and this strength is all their services, and therefore, the whole world is a friend for them. The stinks played and fought with riotous fun, chased one after another, after flies and bugs, smilingly sniffed at the fatty jmels and ran around madly, lusting after the evil tip of their mother’s tail or taking one from one of some old, long-abandoned malnourishment.

The stinks played for the sake of the grid and for the sake of every drive to raise the new humidifier.

This evening the foxes were playing with toys and the wings of the kachina were dry. Dozens of times it changed from one to another. Once upon a time, the most beautiful fox, with a dark brown across its muzzle, came along. Without giving in to anyone, he began to rush around the stake with his treasure until the battle and the game decided. Then he let go of his wing, but immediately clung to his mother’s tail and chuckled until she snatched her own tail with a raptor’s wisp, throwing it over the back of the little buffalo.

At about the hour of this morning, an old fox appeared on the galya. Having bitten him, the mother shuddered, the foxes were angry, and the familiar revelation immediately calmed everyone down: this is father.

I carry it, and so everyone turned greedily towards his nose. Father lowered his burden to the ground - the muskrat had been tenderly strangled - and mother ran after it.

Mysteries tell us that the fox never brings the kittens until the burrow, since the fox cubs are not at home. And in the accounts of the Mysli people there is some truth.

The mother threw the muskrat to the children, and the stench attacked her. The stinks chuckled and pulled the little animals, growled and terribly gawking eyes one on one, and the skin shook its head most soulfully, trying to snatch its part of the video boot.

Mother marveled at the fox's dead fox, and then suddenly looked at the abundant forest. There could always be approaching enemies there: people with towels, cottontails and dogs, eagles and owls - we all want to paw at the little foxes.

She was always on her guard, and the man helped her. I want to play a different role in the family right and never allow myself into the hole, while the foxes are still sticky icicles, ultimately bringing the hedgehog and guarding the hole.

The cheerful banquet of the little ones just broke up, as the father’s “yur-yur-yur-yaap” began to murmur from afar - a signal of approaching trouble. If the fox cubs were larger, they themselves would understand the significance of this signal. But the stench was still very small, and the mother hastened to explain to them that they needed to work: having told the foxes in the distance the father barked in low, threatening sounds, she drove them back to the hole, where in the still-dark stench they calmly finished with I'm blaspheming.

There are at least a thousand pairs of foxes alive among the farms of New England. The skin couple is keen to bring out children, and it is completely incredible that such scenes, so tenderly described, appear in front of the skin fox hole on a hot spring day. Well, at least a hundred thousand times on the river these scenes are repeated under our very noses, and now everything is found in such a secret place, so protective are the fathers of small animals that perhaps only one in a hundred thousand people will spare the guard I'll like you. family scene.

At the place of Goldery, Abner Jukes appeared as such a lucky one, one out of a hundred thousand. This is a long-bodied, fair-haired, fluffy cotton, who climbs trees for crows' nests, instead of grazing cows.

He kept watch over the foxes not just like any other boy, but with the trepidation of nature's mighty follower. I immediately noticed a fox with a black mask on its muzzle, the sky covered in domino, and laughed joyfully at everything.

The boy couldn’t stop thinking about the fun of the little ones, who turned out to be a fleeting culprit of the unstoppable break in the game, and also all the hardships that befell the fox family this year.

Abner fell in love with the fox. He wrote about his clever dog, who declared himself “the best dog in the whole state.” True, it’s not a dog anymore, but just a puppy, a puppy with big paws, a thin waist and wide chests. His voice was strong, sonorous, and, judging by the gloomy wildness, the puppy became a virulent beast. Call Abner, having locked up his house, the little puppy seemed to have broken free and, of course, immediately began to joke with his master. His approach and alarmed the father of the foxes.

The mother foxes, having finished sleeping, all seven of their dear little ones were at the homeless man’s house, immediately ran away from the enemy. She suddenly took such a path that she would immediately notice the dog as it approached the hole, and right away she suddenly felt a metallic bark, a kind of mucus that beats harder than ever before her man’s sealed heart.
